How long does the landlord have to take a tenant to court after they have moved out? I have a State of Tenessee rental lease that was signed by husband and wife. about 2 months into the lease tenant went to the section 8 voucher program. I have not renewed the lease and no longer have them as tenants. Thank you jJesus!!! but i do have rent and damages due. Husband was the primary on Section 8 and since then it was changed to Just the wife. Tenant never sent a written notice that husband was no longer living there or give notice in writing that he was to be removed, nor did he. So she's not paid the pro-rated rent, has damages over her/his damage /security deposit. I gave them many chances and have received a whole bunch of excusses, enough to write a book, but they still have not paid. My section 8 rep says when I get a judgement they can review it, Tenant can be terminated from the program and no longer receive assistance. I could use some help on this subject.
