IN tenant lease bonds.
From $100.
A tenant lease bond lets a renter (or a landlord) put a surety bond in place of a cash security deposit — the bond stands behind the lease the way a deposit would. It is a security-deposit alternative recognized under Indiana’s landlord-tenant law (IC 32-31-3). Pricing is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, with one soft credit pull for approval that never affects your score.

What it is and who needs it.
What the lease bond actually does
A tenant lease bond is a surety bond that stands in for a cash security deposit. Instead of tying up a full deposit, the tenant buys a bond — and the landlord gets the same protection: if the tenant damages the property or breaches the lease, the landlord can recover against the bond up to its amount.
Indiana’s residential landlord-tenant law (IC 32-31-3) governs security deposits, and a surety bond is one of the deposit alternatives landlords can choose to accept. Whether to accept a bond instead of cash is up to the landlord — this is not a state mandate, it is a tool for tenants and landlords who prefer a bond to a held deposit.
It is not insurance for the tenant — if the surety pays the landlord on a valid claim, the tenant repays the surety. The amount is whatever the lease requires, usually matching the deposit it replaces. Enter that figure — pricing starts from $100, with one soft credit pull that never affects your score.
