The visit that happens while you still live there
Here is the part that catches renters out. A stranger can be walking your hallway a month before you hand back the keys, and it can be entirely proper. Subsection (e) of Tennessee Code section 66-28-403 says a landlord has no right of access except in five listed situations. The fifth is entry within the final thirty days before a rental agreement ends, for the purpose of showing the premises to prospective tenants, where that right is set forth in the rental agreement and the tenant is given at least twenty-four hours' notice beforehand. The chapter it sits in reaches counties that passed 75,000 people in the 2010 federal census, and Blount County recorded 123,010. Nothing here is legal advice and we are not lawyers; your own agreement is the document that decides your case. Take it as a calendar problem instead. The showing lands while your furniture is still in place, which is the one condition under which this service cannot do its job, because most of what it is paid to reach sits behind whatever you have not packed. Tidy for the visit. Save the empty-house clean for the empty house.
