Tennessee
I am renting a house in Tennessee and the landlord put it on the market in November. We have a two year lease which ends December 2011. We have spoken several times in the past about moving out before the house sells (with no objection on his behalf) and now that I actually want to move, he is threating me with the lease. He says thirty days notice is enough time for me to find another place to live and wants me to continue to show the house and pay rent until he is ready for me to go. I have searched online and cannot find a renter's rights in this situation. I see my choices as staying till he gives a thirty days notice, or staying till December. Neither of these is acceptable as I have children and need more notice than thirty days to find a new home in this school district.
