TENNESSEE CASE LAW 
 
Contracts to give a deed upon completion of payment of the purchase price are recognized in Tennessee. Their recordation is expressly authorized pursuant to Tenn. Code Ann. § 66-24-101. Parties may stipulate in a contract for the sale of land that title shall be withheld until the performance of a further consideration. Price v. Taylor, 1984 Tenn.App.LEXIS 2879 (1984) 
 
The equitable equivalent of a vendor’s lien is retained by the vendor for the balance of the purchase price in a contract for deed where possession is given to the vendee. An equitable lien is held by the vendor in the vendee’s equitable title in contracts as now under consideration. In cases where there is default in the payment of the purchase price by the vendee in a contract for deed, the vendor may seek possession of the property and damages through the Chancery Court because of the breach of the executory contract. If the vendor is unable to deliver title or if the contract was obtained through fraud, the vendee may seek rescission and damages. The “right of foreclosure” and the waiver of equity of redemption are matters that inure to the benefit of the vendor and their express absence in the contract constitutes no grounds for complaint by the vendee to void a contract. Price v. Taylor, 1984 Tenn.App.LEXIS 2879 (1984)
