what are the laws on eviction in tennessee?
Under both the regular Tennessee Code and the URLTA, a landlord is required to give a tenant a 14-day notice to pay rent before filing an eviction lawsuit. If the tenant pays the rent within the 14-day period, the landlord must not proceed with the eviction lawsuit (see Tenn. Code Ann. § § 66-7-109 and 66-28-505).
