Memphis Landlord/Tenant Attorneys

Leases

Our clients seek an experienced attorney who has familiarity with the Tennessee Residential Landlord Tenant Law and its specifications of what should be included in or maybe excluded from, a lease at the discretion of the parties. We aim to protect our clients’ rights, whether they are landlords or tenants, in both residential and commercial leases.

Evictions

On behalf of our property owner clients, we bring lawsuits to recover possession of real property, which sometimes include claims for back rent and damages. We ensure that a written notice to vacate, if required, is prepared and delivered according to law at the commencement of an eviction. After obtaining a judgment for possession from the court, we can file writs of possession to accomplish a tenant’s compliance with an eviction notice.

Foreclosures

We represent mortgage lenders in foreclosures across the state of Tennessee, delivering the following services according to law and in a timely manner:

  • Title exams: We establish our clients’ position and authority to foreclose while looking for other liens of record to identify parties that may need to be notified of the foreclosure.
  • Substitute of Trustee (SOT): Lawyers at the firm may act as trustees for handling the sale.
  • Publication: We arrange and prepare for the publication of a foreclosure in a newspaper of general circulation for three (3) consecutive weeks.
  • The sale: We attend and handle the sale, following the client’s specific instructions.
  • Trustee’s deed: We document conveyance of title to the property to the successful bidder at the foreclosure sale.
  • Tenant notice: We properly notify any tenant occupying the property of the need to vacate.
