Cal. Civ. Code § 66-28-510
Landlord's remedy after termination.
Operative Text
If the rental agreement is terminated, the landlord may have a claim for possession and for rent and a separate claim for actual damages for breach of the rental agreement and reasonable attorney's fees.
Under Tennessee Code Ann. § 66-28-510, when a rental agreement is terminated, the law allows a landlord to pursue multiple types of legal claims arising from that termination. These include a claim to regain possession of the property, a claim for unpaid rent, and a separate claim for actual damages caused by the breach of the rental agreement, along with reasonable attorney's fees. The provision recognizes that a single termination event can give rise to distinct legal remedies that may be pursued together.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Tenn. Code Ann. § 66-28-510, operators whose rental agreements have been terminated generally document all financial losses attributable to the breach, including unpaid rent, costs to restore the unit, and any other actual damages. Compliant operators also retain records of attorney's fees incurred in pursuing these claims, as the statute contemplates their recovery. Maintaining thorough documentation of lease terms, payment history, and property condition supports the types of claims this provision authorizes.

Tenn. Code Ann. § 66-28-510 outlines the remedies a landlord may seek after a rental agreement is terminated, which means tenants facing such claims should understand what categories of damages—rent, actual damages, and attorney's fees—a landlord is permitted to pursue. Tenants who believe a termination was improper or that claimed damages are overstated may have defenses available to raise in court proceedings. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services can help tenants understand how this provision applies to their circumstances and what options exist for responding to a landlord's claims.
