FAQ
Yes, your tenant is within their rights to refuse you access to the property. In a lot of cases, tenants will refuse because the date and time isn't convenient for them and will suggest an alternative date or ask you to rearrange. However, some tenants will persistently try to obstruct you from entering the property.
A landlord cannot legally evict you without a court order, whether or not you have a lease.) How long does it take for a landlord to evict a tenant? A landlord can evict a tenant only by going through a formal eviction proceeding, which can take a few weeks from start to finish.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
If the tenant refuses, you are permitted to send them a notice to agree or quit the property. The tenant refusing you access constitutes a breach in the lease agreement, so they could be evicted if they continue to deny access.
If a tenant does not pay the outstanding rent by the fourteenth day, they have 16 days to vacate the property. If a tenant does not leave the property by the end of the 16-day period (30 days after the landlord delivered the notice to quit) the landlord can go to court to request a detainer warrant for the tenant.
