Location-Specific Tenancy Guidance for Tennessee

Today’s location-specific episode features the State of Tennessee.  We explore the overview of the housing guiding document called Landlord-Tenant Act in Tennessee.  Each of my location-specific podcasts is set up the same way answering the same four questions:  1) What are the basics of the Landlord-Tenant Act in Tennessee, 2) What are the nuances of this location – what is different that stands out?, 3) Some guidance about abandoned items left behind by a tenant in a rental inState of Tennessee, and 4) Where to get help in your local area in State of Tennessee.  This episode is NOT all inclusive – you must research further in your specific area including your County, Regional District, Parish, City or any other Governing Body that involves your rental location, but today’s episode will get you started!
