Make sure the law is on your side before you enter a rental property.
Some landlords (at least those who have not yet been sued) still believe that it is legal to lock out a commercial tenant who has not unequivocally abandoned the premises. A great many form leases give this right to the landlord with or without force. While at early common law a landlord had the right to recover property by force, Tennessee law clearly and unambiguously holds that "no person shall enter upon any land [unless] entry is given by law, and only then in a peaceable manner." Most states, like Tennessee, hold that the existence of a speedy statutory remedy for the removal of tenants who unlawfully remain in possession bars the landlord's entry by self-help. This white paper reviews self-help and termination notices and discusses waiver and unlawful detainer issues.
