Tennessee park problems, computed

Tennessee Mobile Home Park Laws — Eviction Rules

The three park questions for Tennessee, answered from the state code itself: how much lot rent can go up (and what notice you must get), what happens when the park closes, and whether residents get a chance to buy the park when it sells. State law only — local ordinances are outside this dataset's scope, and the page says so wherever that matters.

Lot rent in Tennessee

Tennessee has no statewide cap on how much lot rent can go up. No statewide cap on rent amounts was found in Tenn. Code Title 66, and Tennessee also preempts the local route: Tenn. Code 66-35-102(a) bars any local ordinance or resolution that would control the amount of rent charged for private residential or commercial property. No park-specific rent statute was found; manufactured home lot tenancies run under the general landlord-tenant chapters.

No park-specific rent-increase notice period was verified in the state code for this dataset — your lease and the general tenancy rules carry the timing.

Local rules: Tennessee does not cap lot rent, and state law does not allow cities or counties to cap it either.

Rule: Tenn. Code 66-35-102 (rent control by local governments prohibited). No statute setting a rent-increase notice period for manufactured home lots was found.

If the park closes or changes use

No closure-notice period was found in the state code for Tennessee in our verified dataset — this page will not borrow a number from another state or a summary site.

No manufactured home park closure statute was found in Tenn. Code Title 66. A content-farm page claims a 180-day closure notice and a state relocation assistance program for Tennessee; neither appears in the code text reviewed, and the claim is NOT encoded.

Relocation help

No state relocation fund for park closures was found in Tennessee's code in our verified dataset.

Purchase rights when the park sells

Tennessee has no park purchase-opportunity law in the national NCLC survey (September 2026). That is a sourced fact, not a gap in our reading: the survey covers every state's manufactured-home community purchase law, and Tennessee is not in it. When a park sells here, residents' rights come from the lease, the notice rules, and the eviction framework on this page — not from a purchase window.

Eviction ground rules

Tennessee has no manufactured-home-park just-cause act in the code text reviewed; tenancies run under the general landlord-tenant statutes and, in counties where it applies, the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (Tenn. Code Title 66, Chapter 28). The general termination rule in Tenn. Code 66-7-109 gives 14 days' notice for nonpayment of rent, damage beyond normal wear and tear, or dangerous conduct (with a chance to fix a fixable breach), and 30 days' notice for all other defaults.

Rule: Tenn. Code 66-7-109
