Q: Can a apartment complex end your lease if you don’t have any debt, for a lease violation?
I have no debt with my apartment complex and there was a issue with parking in the “incorrect” spot once and my car was towed and the tow driver said he would drop us and pay a drop fee if my apt mgr said it was okay and didn’t so he towed us and we started asking her why and yes we cussed but never yelled or made threats and she called the police ( they never showed) so I later went to the office to talk and about reimbursement and I was told you have been turned to the attorney and you will get a letter. It does say in my lease if we get a notice to vacate you must vacate . And also where we parked does not say it was an incorrect spot in the lease. in TN by law don’t they have to give a notice to quit or cure , we DID NOT GET YET. But which we did fix already because the consequence was us being towed and then moved into the correct spot when the car was back. I can’t talk to office because they say talk to attorney, I called lawyer an they don’t have a file for me yet
A: Yes... Landlord has to file a Detainer Warrant on you. It must served or posted. After Judgment for possession against you, you will have ten days to leave or appeal. Otherwise a Writ of Possession will be executed by the Sheriff.
