SB0292 amends Tennessee law to allow property owners to quickly remove unlawful occupants from commercial properties.

SB0292 amends Tennessee law to streamline the process for commercial property owners to remove unlawful occupants. The bill allows property owners or their agents to file a complaint with the local sheriff to remove unauthorized persons from commercial properties. The sheriff must serve a notice to vacate and restore possession to the lawful owner if certain conditions are met, such as the property not being open to the public and the occupant not being a tenant or family member. The sheriff can charge a fee for service and is not liable for property damage unless the removal was wrongful.
