[Browse the store](/toolkits) Who it is for Landlords and property managers with rentals in Tennessee, and tenants who want the same record, from move-in through move-out or a court case. Not the right fit if Your rental is outside Tennessee: get that state's kit. Not legal advice, not a lawyer's review of a lease, notice or court case, and not a set of legal notice forms; city and county rules aren't covered. Why it is different - Built only from our Tennessee data files, checked November 2026 against 3 official pages, among them Tennessee Department of Health (Healthy Homes): Do You Know Your Rights and Duties As a Renter? (Legal Aid Society booklet, 8/15); UT County Technical Assistance Service: Jurisdiction of General Sessions Court (reference only, not a court/legislature page); Hamilton County (Tennessee) Circuit Court Clerk: All About Sessions Civil Court, plus FindLaw Codes and Justia (statute text) and National Coalition for a Civil Right to Counsel (a vetted secondary source, marked in the kit) where no official page could be read. - 13 items the official pages didn't state are left out of the rules and put on a short look-up list with the page to check, never guessed. - The workbook recalculates with zero formula errors and works out Tennessee notice and deposit dates for you. What is inside - **Start here.** How to use the kit, the 10 confirmed Tennessee rules at a glance and a short look-up list of 13 points to check: deposit limit, return deadline, itemized list of deductions, interest on the deposit, where the deposit is held, penalty the law states, rent increase notice, court and more, each with the official page. - **Tennessee landlord rules checklist.** Deposits, notice periods, the eviction case and the small claims limit, each confirmed rule with its source link and check date. What it confirms: ending month-to-month (landlord): Where Tennessee's Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act applies (the counties in T.C.A. 66-28-102): written notice at least 30 days before the periodic rental date named in the notice (10 days for week-to-week); ending month-to-month (tenant): Where Tennessee's Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act applies (the counties in T.C.A. 66-28-102): written notice at least 30 days before the periodic rental date named in the notice (10 days for week-to-week); unpaid rent notice: For rent paid every two weeks or monthly: 14 days' notice when rent wasn't paid on time; entry notice: Except in an emergency, the landlord can't come in without the tenant's OK; late fee limits: Where Tennessee's Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act applies (the counties in T.C.A. 66-28-102): a five-day grace period counting the due date; if the fifth day is a Sunday or legal holiday, no late fee when rent is paid the next business day; hearing after filing: The court date must be at least 6 days after the tenant gets the warrant (the earliest date here assumes delivery on the filing day); writ to lockout: A tenant who loses has at least 10 more days; after that the sheriff's department can set the tenant out; who carries out the lockout: The sheriff's department carries out the set-out; a deputy usually delivers the warrant; right to counsel (statewide): No statewide right to counsel for tenants in eviction cases (as of November 2026, per the National Coalition for a Civil Right to Counsel): its tracker of enacted laws lists no statewide law here; small claims limit (for a deposit dispute): $25,000: the most a small claims case can ask for. - **Move-in and move-out deposit checklist.** A room-by-room condition checklist for both visits and the steps after move-out, with a space for the return deadline (on the kit's look-up list, with the official page). - **Notice calendar.** When each notice must go out: the lead time for every notice the state's text confirms, with a 2027 month-by-month serve-by table worked out with our notice date calculator's rules. - **Eviction timeline sheet.** The Tennessee case in order from notice to lockout, with each confirmed stage, an example dated from a sample filing day where the rules give periods, and blanks for your own case dates. - **Tennessee landlord workbook (Excel).** A tenant notice log that dates each notice from the Tennessee rules, a deposit tracker that works out the return date for each move-out, and a rent ledger with a running balance.
