Lease Landlord Tenant

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.

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.

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.

If you repeat an act that violates the lease or rental agreement within a six-month period, your landlord may give you an unconditional quit notice, giving you 14 days to move out.

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.

A curable lease violation means that the tenant could have an opportunity to fix the violation.When the lease violation is of the type that it can be remedied, or cured, the landlord must give the tenant an opportunity to either fix the violation or move out. The tenant will have seven days to do this.
