SB 967 increases the time landlords and tenants have to agree on ending a rental lease from 30 to 45 days when a tenant or household member is a victim of domestic abuse, sexual assault, or stalking. To qualify, tenants must provide the landlord with written notice and documentation of their victim status. This change applies to all residential rental agreements entered into, amended, or renewed after the law takes effect. It directly affects tenants who are victims of these crimes and their landlords in Tennessee by extending the negotiation period for lease termination.
