Tennessee Month-to-Month Rental Agreement

A Tennessee month-to-month rental agreement is a legal contract that lets a tenant stay on a landlord’s property monthly. As long as the tenant pays rent and neither party terminates the lease, the agreement renews monthly. If a landlord or tenant no longer wants to be in the agreement, they must provide 30 days’ notice prior to ending it.

Tennessee Month-to-Month Eviction

Unless the lease dictates a different notice period, the landlord must issue 30 days’ notice to end a month-to-month lease. They should provide a reason if one applies, but a tenant doesn’t have to commit a breach or violation for a landlord to terminate a month-to-month lease if they comply with the notice requirements.

If the tenant doesn’t vacate the property by the stated date, the landlord can pursue an eviction lawsuit. If needed, the tenant can contest the eviction during the court hearing.

The Tennessee Eviction Process details the steps for evicting a tenant.
