Mississippi lease renewal guide

Determine the current term

Fixed and periodic terms work differently

Under Miss. Code § 89-8-19, where the agreement sets no definite term, the tenancy is generally week-to-week for weekly rent and otherwise month-to-month. The usual written termination notice is seven or 30 days, respectively, before termination. Check the lease and applicable exceptions separately from this renewal. Official source

Deposit and demand

Record all three dates

Under § 89-8-21, track termination, delivery of possession, and the tenant’s demand; the usual 45-day period for the balance runs after those conditions are met. Give a written itemization and distinguish lawful deductions from ordinary wear. Keep the existing balance on the renewal ledger instead of treating renewal as automatic forfeiture. Official source

Repairs and final copies

Preserve duties under the original lease

Review Miss. Code sections 89-8-5 and 89-8-23 before changing any repair duties. Record outstanding repair requests and the appropriate notice address. Sign one row per person and provide a copy of the signed changes with the original contract. Official source

Renew with clear terms

This agreement extends an existing lease and records the renewed rent. Lawful terms not expressly changed continue. It does not replace the original lease, create a new automatic-renewal clause, extend a guaranty, or require the tenant to leave when the new term ends.

State guidance is a starting point, not a determination of local coverage or a legal opinion. Rent-regulated and subsidized housing can require prescribed forms. Review the official sources shown for your state and get qualified advice for special cases.
