What is built into the Tennessee lease

The disclosures the Act requires: the 2025 landlord, agent and maintenance-contact disclosure, the fire and casualty insurance advisory, the security deposit account and its location, and the move-out inspection procedure with the notice the statute requires in the lease
The five-day grace period and the ten-percent limit on late charges, and the fourteen-day notice and cure terms
The domestic-violence termination right and the 2027 tenant firearms rule
Drafted around Tennessee's prohibited-provisions statute: no indemnity or hold-harmless language, no limitation of the landlord's liability, no confession of judgment, no lease-created lien, and no waiver of the tenant's statutory notice

Tennessee's Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act applies only in seventeen counties. This lease names the statutory test and the counties, follows the Act where it applies, and applies the Act's protections as its own terms everywhere else. It does not carry the Davidson County landlord registration or any local program.

How it works

Answer a few questions. Property address, tenant names, rent, dates, deposit, and the handful of choices the lease actually turns on. About five minutes, one topic at a time.
Watch the lease fill in. The real Tennessee document fills in as you go, so you can read every clause before anyone signs.
Send it for signing. Your tenant signs online, from any phone. Sending it sets up your PropManager account, free for your first 2 weeks with no card.

Common questions

Is the Tennessee lease really free?

Building it is free, with no account and no credit card. To send it to your tenant for e-signature you create a PropManager account, which is free for your first 2 weeks with no card.

Is it reviewed by a Tennessee attorney?

No. PropManager Editorial wrote it, and the template is current through the 2026 session of the General Assembly and drafted to the law as it will stand on January 1, 2027, verified against the Tennessee Code and the enrolled public chapters. It is an informational starting point, not legal advice, and it is not a substitute for a licensed Tennessee attorney reviewing your situation.

Can I edit the lease?

You set the terms by answering the questions: rent, dates, deposit, and the handful of choices the lease turns on. The document fills in as you go, so you can read every clause before you send it. The wizard is not a free-form editor.

Does it work outside Tennessee?

No. This template is Tennessee-specific. Other states have their own templates, linked below. For a state we have not written yet, the wizard gives you our general-use lease and says so plainly.

What if my state is not covered yet?

You can still build and send a lease: the wizard gives you our general-use lease and tells you so plainly. Leave your email and we tell you when your state's own lease is ready. Covered states are listed at the bottom of this page.
