2019 Tennessee Code
Title 66 - Property
Chapter 27 - Multiple Ownership of Property
Part 5 - Tennessee Condominium Act of 2008 — Units Restricted to Residential Purposes
§ 66-27-507. Conversion buildings.
(a) A declarant of a condominium containing conversion buildings, who offers units in the condominium, shall give each of the residential tenants and any residential subtenant in possession of a portion of a conversion building notice of the conversion no later than sixty (60) days before the tenants and any subtenant in possession are required to vacate. The notice must set forth generally the rights of tenants and subtenants under this section and shall be hand-delivered to the unit or mailed by prepaid United States mail to the tenant and subtenant at the address of the unit or any other mailing address provided by a tenant. No tenant or subtenant may be required to vacate upon less than sixty (60) days notice, except by reason of nonpayment of rent, waste, conduct that disturbs other tenants' peaceful enjoyment of the premises, unlawful conduct, or other breach of a written lease, and the terms of the tenancy may not be altered during that period. Failure to give notice as required by this section is a defense to an action for possession.
(b) Nothing in this section permits termination of a lease by a declarant in violation of its terms.
