Download Mississippi lease agreements for an arrangement between a landlord and tenant for the usage of space, either for living or a business, in exchange for the payment of rent. Before a contract is signed the tenant will usually view and approve of the space. A monthly amount is negotiated upon between the lessor and lessee and an application will be completed. After careful review the tenant will either be approved or rejected. If approved, the parties should draft an agreement and authorize.
