A Tennessee 3-day notice to quit (illegal activity) is served on a tenant when they have committed illegal activity outside or on the premises. Any of the following acts by a tenant or another person on the premises may legitimize a landlord to serve this notice:
- Intentionally or willfully commits a violent act;
- Behavioral activity threatens the health and safety or welfare of the life or property of other tenants or persons;
- Creates a condition on the property that affects the welfare of themselves or other tenants by being hazardous or unsanitary; and
- Refuses to vacate the premises after entering the premises as an unauthorized subtenant or other unauthorized occupants.
