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.

I rented a room with roommates in Knoxville on 1/3. The landlord and I had a verbal agreement for a six-month lease. I stayed at the place for 2 months until all tenants received an eviction notice on 3/3. The reason for our eviction is that he wants to raise the rent. The notice states that we are... View More

If you received a 30-day notice on March 3rd, and your rent is due on the 3rd of each month, then typically your last day would align with the cycle of your rent period, which would end on April 2nd. However, in your case, the landlord has explicitly mentioned April 30th as the last day of... View More

What is your question? A contract for a deed which is actually a lease with option to purchase may be what you are talking about. That would be a simple contract for an attorney to charge for. But if you are thinking of renting that way, do not do it. All moneys paid in will be forfeited... View More
Utilities were changed from landlords name w/o permission. I verbally asked her not to change them but it was still done. I updated the lease to state that utilities must stay in landlords name and now she refuses to agree or sign. Now she won’t respond about paying utilities.

If the lease term is broke, then it is a breach of contract. There are probably other reasons to file a Detainer Warrant. File suit and let her defend herself.

You do not have to go to Court. But a default judgment will be entered that might include money damages or rent arrearages. Go to Court and dispute anything more than possession and costs.

Owner can terminate the lease. Talk to the owner about renewing the lease if needed.

You could file suit for a declaratory judgment, but the HOA will probably win.
Can they give me a move out or eviction date if I do not fill out a contract with them before 7/31/24? Can they increase my rent before 7/31/24 without me signing any new documents? I'm new to Tennessee and really need help. Thank you.

New titled owner takes property subject to tenant in possession. So they should be bound by the
existent lease unless it has some contrary term. Read the lease or hire an attorney to consult. However it is easy to find a reason for a Detainer Warrant.

Check for "constructive eviction" clauses in your lease agreement. If your harassment allegations are substantiated, it could be a basis for legal action to terminate the lease. Documentation of incidents and any complaints to the landlord can support your case.

Basically yes... However owner must file and serve a Detainer Warrant for possession. He then gets a Judgment, and after 10 days you are still there, execution by the Sheriff of a Writ of Possession occurs.
Filed possession only on 09/07, court 09/15. I had to call the police on 09/07 for illegal activity of drugs and guns.

Service of the Detainer Warrant is notice to quit. Go to Court. After Judgment for Possession, you may need an attorney to actually get possession by execution of a Writ.

Start looking for another place. Owner has no obligation to make a new contract with you.
Upon taking possession I was never informed about anything being owed prior to me taking over the apt now I have received a court date for a eviction for past due rental payments owed before I moved in how is this legal when I was never informed about it or told I would be responsible for it

Service of the Detainer Warrant IS a notice to quit. Start looking for another place. You are probably not personally liable for the back rent, only your occupation period.

You will have to make an agreement with the landlord/owner for him to dismiss the Detainer.

What is your question? You can sue in Sessions Court for an Action To Recover Personal Property.
If she allowed there, then you did not commit trespass. But she can file a Detainer Warrant.
