FAQ

Notice Requirements for Tennessee Landlords A landlord can simply give you a written notice to move, allowing you 30 days as required by Tennessee law and specifying the date on which your tenancy will end.
Landlords are prohibited from harassing or retaliating against tenants who exercise their legal rights. In Tennessee, the landlord must not terminate, refuse to renew a lease, or fine a tenant for complaining to the landlord regarding the deposit, complaining to a government agency, or exercising a legal right.
Under both the regular Tennessee Code and the URLTA, a landlord is required to give a tenant a 14-day notice to pay rent before filing an eviction lawsuit. If the tenant pays the rent within the 14-day period, the landlord must not proceed with the eviction lawsuit (see Tenn. Code Ann. § A§ 66-7-109 and 66-28-505).
Title 66 - Property. Chapter 28 - Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. (b) The landlord may enter the premises without consent of the tenant in case of emergency.
Your landlord can end the let at any time by serving a written 'notice to quit'. The notice period will depend on the tenancy or agreement, but is often at least 4 weeks.
The first thing a landlord must do is provide the tenant with a written notice that an eviction will occur in 30 days if the tenant does not comply with the terms of the lease within 14 days. This notice is required by T.C.A. Section 66-28-505.
