HB 1345 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Landlord and Tenant - As introduced, reduces the time period, after which a landlord may terminate a rental agreement, from 14 days to seven days following notice to the tenant of a material breach of the rental agreement for the nonpayment of rent, the cost of repairs, damages, or another amount due the landlord under the rental agreement, or for an act of violence or other behavior that poses a real and present danger on the premises. - Amends TCA Title 66.

HB 1345 shortens the notice period landlords must give tenants before terminating a rental agreement for specific violations. It reduces the required notice from 14 days to 7 days for nonpayment of rent, costs for repairs or damages, or acts of violence posing a real danger to safety. Tenants facing these issues would have less time to resolve the problem before potential eviction. The bill applies to residential rental agreements entered into, amended, or renewed on or after July 1, 2025.
