Rent & late fees
Rent is payable without demand at the agreed time and place; absent agreement it is due at the dwelling at the start of each month (§66-28-201(c)).
- 5-day grace period — No late fee may be charged until five days after rent is due. If the fifth day falls on a Sunday or legal holiday, rent paid on the next business day isn’t late (§66-28-201(d)).
- 10% cap — A late charge, however described, can’t exceed 10% of the amount of rent past due (§66-28-201(d)).
- Rent increases — Tennessee has no rent-increase notice statute. A fixed-term lease can’t be changed mid-term without agreement; for a month-to-month tenancy, an increase should come with at least the 30 days’ notice needed to end the tenancy (§66-28-512(b)).
- Rent control — No local government may enact or enforce any ordinance controlling rent on private residential property — this applies statewide, not just in URLTA counties (§66-35-102).
