Owning or renting property should be straightforward, but when disagreements arise with property management, the situation can quickly become complicated. From unpaid rent to maintenance failures or security deposit disputes, what begins as a business arrangement often turns into a stressful conflict that affects both tenants and landlords. In Sevierville, Gatlinburg, and across East and Middle Tennessee, property management disputes are a common part of community life—and knowing how to address them is key to protecting your rights.
When Tenants and Landlords Disagree
Disputes can arise for many reasons. Tenants may feel that a landlord or property manager has failed to provide safe, livable housing. Landlords may face tenants who refuse to pay rent or who violate lease terms. Issues such as repairs, lease renewals, property damage, or even the return of security deposits often become flashpoints for legal action. Without clear communication and proper documentation, these conflicts can escalate quickly.
The Legal Side of Property Management
In Tennessee, landlord–tenant relationships are governed by state laws and local ordinances that set out specific rights and responsibilities. Tenants are entitled to safe and habitable living spaces, while landlords are entitled to rent payments and reasonable care of their property. When one side fails to meet their obligations, legal remedies—including eviction proceedings or claims for damages—may be necessary.
