Tennessee 3 Day Notice to Vacate for Dangerous Behavior

Tennessee Eviction Procedures: 3-Day Notice to Vacate for Dangerous or Illegal Behavior

When a Tenant’s conduct threatens the safety, health, or well-being of others, Landlords should issue a 3-Day Notice to Vacate. Behaviors that can lead to the issuance of a 3-day notice are:

• Assaulting another Tenant, guest, property manager, or Landlord
• Brandishing a weapon
• Explicit threats to other Tenants or neighbors.
• Drug manufacturing
• Accumulation of waste that is a health threat

What’s required in a Tennessee 3-Day Notice to Vacate?

The 3-Day Notice to Vacate for Dangerous Behavior is an official written notice that communicates:

• The specific behavior that led to the Lease termination
• The date by which the Tenant must vacate the property
• That failure to comply may result in eviction proceedings

This notice protects Landlords, their rental properties, and other residents who may be at risk because of dangerous or illegal behavior.

Important Note for Tennessee Landlords: This form is only appropriate for dangerous or illegal conduct. It is not used for routine Lease violations or nonpayment of rent. Use a 14-day notice for nonpayment of rent and a 30-day notice for other Lease violations.

If a Tenant does not vacate the property within 3 days, the next step is filing an eviction complaint in the appropriate Tennessee court.
