The Tennessee Code can be found on-line @

The Uniform Landlord Tennant Act can be found there at Title 66 Chapter 28 but does not apply to all counties. See specifically 66-28-102 for applicability. There is also the "common law" that will define certain tennant rights. This is case law decided by the courts ofer time.
