Tennessee Rent increase notice

How much notice does a landlord need to give to raise the rent in Tennessee?

Tenn. Code ch. 66-28 (reviewed by full-text search on 2026-10-15) sets no notice period for rent increases; the lease controls. Month-to-month tenancies can be ended with 30 days' notice under § 66-28-512. (Applies in counties covered by the URLTA, those with more than 75,000 people.) 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.
