Tennessee Security Deposit Limits and Deadlines: Most residential leases and rental agreements in Tennessee require a security deposit. This is a dollar amount, usually one month's rent, that's intended to cover damage to the premises beyond normal wear and tear, and to cushion the financial blow if a tenant skips out early on the lease without paying. Here’s a summary of Tennessee landlord-tenant laws that cover the use and return of security deposits. Does Tennessee law limit how much a landlord can charge a tenant for a security deposit? No. In Tennessee, there's no statutory limit on security deposits at the state level, but check your city and county laws to see if your municipality has set a cap on security deposits for residential rentals. #tennesseelaws #imdoingmypart #imheretohelp #laws #lawstudent #wisdom #educated #consciousness #wegoingbealright #memphis (at Memphis, Tennessee)
