I'd a partner who decided to relocate on the month-to-month test period, with purpose of signing a rent. We decided through e-mail that this is exactly what we'd do, and I stated that I'd give him a 30-day's notice if during that month-to-month interval it did not work-out; and that he was to give me one aswell. Therefore, there's published evidence of this individual residing in my home, simply no authorized contract.
He informs me your day before that he's transferring out. I requested him that day-to provide me the following month's lease, once we decided and he says no. Therefore, then we fundamentally agree with 1 / 2 of the following month's lease. He confirms (and I've this verification in a text additionally) to pay for 1 / 2 of the following month's lease. Though leaves while I am removed and leaves nothing.
Therefore, within the state-of TN what're my rights being a landlord and may these e-mails and texts endure in small-claims? Am I officially allowed to get the following month's lease?
Thanks all-so greatly!
