Tennessee Eviction notices for other grounds (lease violation, no-fault)
Eviction notices for other grounds (lease violation, no-fault) in Tennessee
For a material lease breach the landlord gives written notice with 14 days to cure (§ 66-28-505). For violent acts or real and present danger, the landlord may terminate 3 days after the tenant receives written notice (§ 66-28-517(a)). Outside URLTA counties, 14 days' notice suffices for nonpayment, damage and other listed reasons (§ 66-7-109(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.
