Q: In Unicoi. TN can a landlord change locks after lease is up
No eviction notice was given
We were actually buying the house and making payments and she up and said you have to move next month your lease is up and we didnt see it coming. Yes, there was a lease, but we were actually buying, so we never really planned to move.
A: Apparently you were not buying anything unless you have a Deed. A Lease with Option To Purchase is only a Lease. However you still have possession, so the Owner will have to file and prosecute a Detainer Warrant to get you physically out of the premises.
