Just cause eviction rules in Hendersonville, TN — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Tennessee has no just-cause eviction law. In Sumner County a landlord may end a month-to-month tenancy without giving a reason, using the 30-day written notice under Tenn. Code Ann. §66-28-512. The state URLTA governs here.
Sumner County (about 196,000 residents) falls under Tennessee's Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, §66-28-101 et seq., which applies to counties over roughly 75,000 people. The Act sets no just-cause standard, so a landlord needs no reason to end a month-to-month tenancy, only the written 30-day notice of §66-28-512. For nonpayment, §66-28-505 allows a 14-day notice before filing. The county cannot add good-cause or relocation rules. A landlord must still win a detainer judgment in General Sessions Court; self-help lockouts and utility shutoffs are illegal.
Improper or missing notice can get a detainer case dismissed. Self-help eviction, such as changing locks, removing doors, or cutting utilities, exposes the landlord to tenant damages under the URLTA.
