Tennessee Notice of Non-Renewal

This Notice of Non-Renewal is built with Tennessee as the governing state. These are the Tennessee landlord-tenant rules that most often bear on it, with the statute for each.

Tennessee rules at a glance

Tennessee rules for a Notice of Non-Renewal
Month-to-month termination30 days before the periodic rental date (week-to-week: 10 days)Tenn. Code §66-28-512
Rent-increase noticeNo statute; month-to-month changes need the 30-day termination notice in practice
Rent controlProhibited statewideTenn. Code §66-35-102
Rent increasesTennessee 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 & 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).
