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.
However you often see contracts stating that both tenant and landlord must give the same two months' notice. Now officially statute trumps contract, and so the law can override anything written in a contract.
Tennessee doesn't require tenants to provide landlords with a notice when ending a fixed-term lease. That's because the lease is usually clear on when the lease will end. They are, however, required to provide written notice for week-to-week leases and month-to-month leases.
It is equally easy for tenants in Tennessee to get out of a month-to-month rental agreement. You must provide the same amount of notice (30 days) as the landlord (unless your rental agreement provides for a shorter amount of notice).
Tennessee's Eviction Process. The Tennessee Code provides all the laws related to landlord-tenant relations in Tennessee. To evict a tenant for failing to pay rent or violating the lease, a landlord must file a lawsuit with the court to receive the eviction court order.
Most of the time, a landlord needs to go to court before evicting you. If you did something dangerous or threatening, the landlord only needs to give you three (3) days to move out. If you did not pay rent or broke your lease agreement, you may be given a thirty (30) day notice to move out.
You are responsible for: paying your rent on time, paying any late fees, keeping the place clean and safe, not letting anyone else damage it, not breaking the law, disposing of your garbage, and following your landlord's rules. If you break your lease, then it may become a legal issue.
The minimum notice requirement is 28 days. If you have a monthly tenancy, you will have to give one month's notice. If you pay your rent at longer intervals you have to give notice equivalent to that rental period. For example, if you pay rent every three months, you would have to give three months' notice.
Landlords must provide 30 days notice to move out for tenants paying month-to-month rent at the end of their lease.
1 month's notice if your tenancy runs from month to month. If your rental period runs for longer than a month, you need to give the same amount of notice as your rental period. For example, if you pay rent every 3 months, you'll need to give your landlord 3 months' notice. If you live with your landlord.
