Landlord and Tenant - As introduced, changes, from three days to three business days from the date written notice is received by a tenant, the date on which a landlord may terminate a rental agreement if the tenant or another person on the premises with the tenant's consent willfully or intentionally commits a violent act; behaves in a manner which constitutes or threatens to be a real and present danger to the health, safety, or welfare of the life or property of other tenants or persons on the premises; creates a hazardous or unsanitary condition on the property that affects the health, safety, or welfare or the life or property of other tenants or persons on the premises; or refuses to vacate the premises after entering the premises as an unauthorized subtenant or other unauthorized occupant. - Amends TCA Title 5; Title 6; Title 7; Title 13; Title 56; Title 62; Title 66; Title 67 and Title 68.
This Tennessee bill changes the notice period landlords must provide before terminating a lease for specific tenant violations. It extends the timeframe from three calendar days to three business days after written notice is given, covering incidents like violent acts, threats to safety, hazardous conditions, or unauthorized occupancy. The law applies to all residential rental agreements under Tennessee's landlord-tenant laws (affecting Titles 5, 6, 7, 13, 56, 62, 66, 67, and 68 of Tennessee Code). It makes a technical adjustment to existing procedures without creating new violations or altering tenant rights.
