Tennessee Deposit bank holding / separate account
Deposit bank holding / separate account in Tennessee
Landlords who require a security deposit must keep all tenants' deposits in an account used only for deposits, at a bank or lending institution regulated by the state or federal government (Tenn. Code Ann. § 66-28-301(a)). Applies only in counties with population over 75,000 (2010 census), where the URLTA applies (Tenn. Code Ann. § 66-28-102(a)); elsewhere common law and the lease govern.
