How many days does a tenant get to pay late rent in Indiana?
In Indiana, a landlord must give a written demand and allow 10 days to pay before starting a nonpayment case. This is Ind. Code §§ 32-31-1-1, 32-31-1-6, 32-31-5-6.

Notes
One month's notice ends a month-to-month tenancy. Nonpayment: 10 days' notice, unless the lease agrees otherwise. Entry: § 32-31-5-6 requires "reasonable" notice rather than a fixed period, so no number is published. No statute sets a rent-increase notice period — the lease governs.
