A seasonal lease agreement is
subject to the same state laws as a standard annual lease or month-to-month lease. However, seasonal lease agreements tend to be
modified and
conditioned upon agreement between LL and tenant. Seasonal lease agreements are specific to the circumstances and purpose of rental -- college boarding, occasional at-will use, summer/winter vacation, etc. Therefore, the terms and conditions of start date and termination date are fixed for a certain number of months or weeks.
There are usually additional terms and conditions related to the time of non-occupancy or non-use which should be detailed in the original seasonal lease agreement. During the time of non-occupancy or non-use either the LL or tenant can be responsible for maintenance of the premises until reoccupied by current/temporary tenant or new/next tenant.
(This would be reason to provide notice of intent to vacate.)
Whether tenant is obligated to sixty (60) days advance notice of intent to vacate from
date of notice or
date of rent term would depend on whether the State of Tennessee is a LITERAL day state or a TERM/RENT CYCLE state.
- If Tennessee is a literal day state then tenant is obligated from date of notice.
- If Tennessee is a term state then tenant is obligated from date of next rental period.
