Depends on what your lease says and whether you are accepting payments with or without reservation. But you can't evict someone without filing a detainer summons and getting an order of possession.
A member has decided, of their own will, to leave the LLC. The LLC is in debt and doesn't have an operating agreement. Does the withdrawing member owe any money to the LLC as buying themselves out?

answered on Jan 24, 2023
Depends on the debt. Are they personally obligated? Is the business just in debt? Or does it have a positive fair market value? Typically, without an operating agreement, when a member quits the LLC pays fair market under TCA 48-249-505. But there are other considerations as well. Consult counsel... Read more »
(Please don't tell me I need to hire a lawyer). This is for a silly debtors examination that is 4 counties and 100 miles away and I have already submitted written answers. I can't imagine they will "chase" me down over this in another county? What typically happens in a case like this?

answered on Jan 24, 2023
The next possible steps are a show cause and then a body attached (arrest warrant). Depends on how aggressive the creditor wants to get.

Assuming its a private lawyer, you just hire a new one to take over. If it's the public defender, it's a bit more difficult.
I shot a man and was found not guilty of malice murder but guilty of felony murder but, the underlying felony was aggravated assault, which was of the same act.

answered on Jan 16, 2023
Two different crimes but the assault would be the basis for the felony murder. The two would merge for sentencing purposes.
Live in Tennessee. Divorced in 2016 with 2 kids and have never received a copy of his W2’s from him.

You can enforce court orders through contempt petitions. You can seek to modify orders through motions for modification. Both can be tricky to navigate without counsel. Maybe check with legal aid to see if you qualify for help if you can't afford a lawyer.
This is the house she and her husband live in. Can she sell the house, he is not on the deed. This is in Tennessee

answered on Jan 16, 2023
From your limited facts, I don't see why not. If she's solely on the deed, she could convey it. If there's a pending divorce, the situation would be different. Consult local counsel to address any concerns you may have.
I am wanting to purchase a home in Nashville, TN that is currently occupied by tenants. Do I have to let them stay until their lease is up? Or can I evict them if I intend to move into the property?

answered on Jan 16, 2023
A buyer of an occupied property typically purchases subject to the lease. Which means you need to honor the lease terms. However, in some leases, there is a termination on sale clause, which also means the lease terminates when the property is sold. Other times, certain conditions can be negotiated... Read more »
Needing to change the last name of my 5 ur old daughter. She has my ex husbands last name but he is not the biological father. No father is listed on her birth certificate. How do I go about getting this done?

answered on Jan 11, 2023
In Tennessee you would file a petition with the chancery court in the appropriate county and serve notice on any interested party. Typically, the chancery court clerks have forms you can fill out; but not always. Contact the clerk in your county to see if they have forms. Or consult counsel to... Read more »
My tenant signed a lease until January 14, 2023, but she moved out on December 31, 2022. She paid first and last month's rent, plus a security deposit when she moved in. Is she entitled to any money back since she didn't live there in January?

answered on Jan 9, 2023
You are entitled to rent through the term of the lease, unless the lease states otherwise. Leaving early is typically considered abandonment.
I paid for legal services with a credit card for an individual with the agreement being that said individual would pay the payments. Now this person refuses to pay.

answered on Jan 3, 2023
Depending on the amount owed, this would probably be a small claim in general sessions court. There are civil warrants available online that you can fill out and file with the clerk's office at the county courthouse. A clerk can also walk you through how to complete the paperwork. Although,... Read more »
The police went into my home to search for a suspect but I did not give them consent to do so. My landlord wasn’t able to provide them my phone number. Is this illegal?

answered on Dec 19, 2022
Maybe. Police may enter a home under several exceptions to needing a warrant - two that may apply here are the exigent circumstances exception (searching for a suspect) or the community care taking exception (such as a welfare check).
My siblings and I inherited riverfront property which I don't use. My siblings, who along with their kids use the property, won't buy me out. I don't want my kids to inherit the 'problem' and am looking for a way to solve the situation. Can I trigger a market sell? Or some other action?

answered on Dec 14, 2022
You can force a sale (or buy out) through a partition action with the courts.

answered on Dec 14, 2022
Costs are paid to the clerk's office. Failure to pay could result in further penalties.

Sounds like its time to file for divorce, custody, and visitation. Seek a local attorney to assist you with the process.
I am looking to open up a car detail/ tire shop and want to ensure I am not in any violations when looking for a location.

answered on Dec 14, 2022
There's not so much a list but various items you may want to look at - for example, codes and zoning. Make sure where you open up shop, you are permitted to operate. Then you'd want to check the environmental laws on disposal of tires and fluids. And then other statutes like the consumer... Read more »
If their lease is due on the 1st and late on the 5th by The US post office losing their check would this constitute a breach of their lease?

answered on Nov 16, 2022
Check the terms of your lease - but typically rent is paid when you receive it. Not when the tenant puts it in the mailbox.
Sent a letter stating I need to vacate the property my 12-1-22 because I am within this month late on rent. Due 11-1 and have a 5 days Grace period. Is this legal without a 14 day notice to cure?

answered on Nov 16, 2022
Look at your lease. Often there are provisions in the lease that you have waived notice for non-payment of rent. If you didn't pay in the grace period, then the notice may well be proper.

It's always recommended that documents be as specific as possible.
