Tennessee month-to-month leases offer flexibility over fixed-term contracts, automatically renewing each month until either party gives proper written notice. These short-term rental agreements allow landlords and tenants to adjust or end the lease without long-term commitment. Know the key rules—from disclosures to rent laws and deposits—to keep things simple and compliant.

Required Landlord Disclosures (4)
- Lead-based paint: If a rental property was constructed before 1978, federal law requires that landlords disclose to tenants any known lead-based paint or lead-based paint hazards within the property before the lease signing.
- Agent and landlord identification: Tennessee landlords must provide their name and address, as well as the property owner’s name and address, to tenants (in writing) before the lease starts (Tenn. Code Ann. § 66-28-302(a)).
- Showings: Lease agreements must explicitly state that the landlord has the right to bring prospective tenants onto the property within a tenant’s final 30 days before moving out (Tenn. Code Ann. § 66-28-403(e)(5)).
- Security deposit location: If a landlord collects a security deposit, they must give the tenant the name and address of the bank where the money is held (Tenn. Code Ann. § 66-28-301(a)).
Required Notice to Terminate Month-to-Month Agreement
In Tennessee, both landlords and tenants must give a minimum of 30 days’ written notice to terminate a month-to-month rental agreement.
No reason for termination is required.
Rent Increase Laws
Tennessee does not have rent control or stabilization laws on the books.
In that vein, while Tennessee law doesn’t explicitly mention rent increase limitations or rules for month-to-month tenancies, landlords commonly give tenants a 30-day written notice before raising the rent.
