A tenant’s rights in Tennessee depend on location. In larger counties covering about 75% of the state’s population, the Residential Landlord-Tenant Act gives tenants uniform protections and housing standards. Local codes, the common law, and the terms of the rental agreement control a tenant’s rights in the rest of the state.
