Frequently asked questions
Plain-language answers about Tennessee move-out checklist papers. LeaseGen.io is not a law firm. Confirm current statutes before anyone signs.
- What is a move-out checklist?
- It records unit condition when the tenant surrenders possession. Use it alongside the move-in list before you send the deposit accounting. Tennessee does not cap how large a residential security deposit may be. Unused deposit plus an itemized list is generally due within 30 days after the tenancy ends (Tenn. Code Ann. § 66-28-301), where the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act applies.
- When is the deposit due back in Tennessee?
- Unused deposit money is generally due within 30 days after the tenancy ends, with an itemized list of lawful deductions (Tenn. Code Ann. § 66-28-301). Ask for a forwarding address in writing.
- Is the move-out checklist the same as deposit itemization?
- No. The checklist documents condition. Itemization is the formal accounting that states what you kept from the deposit and why. You may need both.
