Mississippi Residential or Rental Lease Extension Agreement
About this form
The Residential Lease Extension Agreement is a legal document that allows a landlord and tenant to extend the duration of an existing residential lease without creating a new lease. This form is particularly useful for both parties to maintain their current terms while adjusting the lease's timeline or potentially updating rent payments.
