HB 216 creates a new legal process for commercial property owners in Tennessee to quickly remove unauthorized occupants by filing a verified complaint with the county sheriff. It directly affects commercial property owners (not residential) who face unlawful occupation, requiring conditions like no tenant relationship, no immediate family connection, and prior notice to the occupant. The sheriff must verify the complaint, serve immediate vacate notices, and may assist with lock changes after removal, with fees matching standard writs of possession. The law, effective July 1, 2025, aims to restore property rights swiftly while limiting criminal activity on commercial sites.
