Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a written lease agreement in Tennessee?
While oral agreements may be enforceable for short-term leases, Tennessee law strongly favors written lease agreements.

Tennessee requires landlords to include specific disclosures such as Lead-based paint disclosure (federal requirement for pre-1978 housing) and Name and address of landlord or authorized agent, which must be in writing.
What are Tennessee's security deposit rules?
In Tennessee, there is no statutory limit on security deposits. Landlords must return the deposit within 30 days after the tenancy ends. Interest on security deposits is not required. Deductions must be itemized in writing.

Does Tennessee regulate security deposits and lease termination?
Tennessee does not cap security deposit amounts by statute. Deposits must be returned within 30 days of move-out with an itemized statement. If no statement is provided, the landlord forfeits the right to deductions. For month-to-month tenancies, Tennessee requires 30 days notice from either party to terminate. Tennessee has no statewide rent control, and local rent control is prohibited by state law.
