Asked in Landlord - Tenant for Tennessee

Q: I recently recieved a notice to vacate in 3 days alleging I threatened someone. What can I do about this?

It stemmed from an incident where I requested reimbursement for my car being towed unbeknownst to me. I have been attempting to contact the required party but wasnt able to get anywhere. I called the office to speak with manager, I was told she's not in, I replied I know what car she drives I know she's here, can I speak to her. I stated I know what car all the office managers drive. She did get on the phone and asked if I was posing a threat towards anyone. I replied no maam, I just knew you were in the office and I needed to speak with you. She responded ok. She told me what to do to start to get a resolution for this matter, 3 days later I get a notice to vacate, what are my options?

A: The Tennessee Supreme Court has temporarily suspended evictions due to the pandemic. But you would be wise to hire counsel to determine your options - you may even have a case against the landlord.
