Rotate Legal Tennessee Commercial Leases Forms For Free

You cannot be evicted without notice. The landlord cannot change the locks or shut off your utilities to make you leave. Most of the time, a landlord needs to go to court before evicting you. If you did something dangerous or threatening, the landlord only needs to give you three (3) days to move out.

Do commercial rental agreements in Tennessee have to be notarized? No, a landlord or tenant is not obliged to notarize a lease in Tennessee. However, either party can choose to have the lease notarized if they would like to.

For a month-to-month tenancy, either the landlord or the tenant can terminate the lease by giving 30 days written notice. For a fixed-term lease, the lease terminates automatically at the end of the term unless the landlord or the tenant gives proper notice.

An assignment of a lease involves the new tenant (commonly referred to as the assignee) agreeing to take on all of the existing tenant's (commonly referred to as the assignor) lease obligations. The transfer of the interest is for the remaining duration of the lease.

The difference between assignment and transfer is that assign means it's legal to transfer property or a legal right from one person to another, while transfer means it's legal to arrange for something to be controlled by or officially belong to another person.

Assignment provisions in commercial leases are heavily negotiated and very important to both landlords and tenants. When a tenant's interest in a lease is assigned, the tenant is transferring its entire leasehold interest and 100% of the leased premises to a third party for the entire remaining term of the lease.
