Laws

  • Notice Period: Three days.[1]
  • Rent Grace Period: No statute.
  • Maximum Late Fee: No statute.

Delivery Options

A written notice to quit should be hand-delivered to the tenant. If the landlord and tenant have previously agreed to communicate through digital channels, the notice can be sent via email or text message.[2]

Waiver of Landlord’s Right to Terminate

Mississippi law does not directly address whether accepting partial rent waives a landlord’s right to terminate a lease. However, courts can still decide that an acceptance of partial payment renders an eviction null and void.
