[TN] Can I place a lien on my tenant’s personal property if they don’t pay rent?

I served my Tenant with a 14-day Demand for Rent or Quit Notice (I'm not sure that's the "Official" Title) on Monday. His date to pay is 5/19/2025. His lease expired 4/15/2025, and we attempted to allow him to catch up on his rent with a 45-day lease that he refused to abide by and did not sign. There is a section in the original lease pertaining to Liens, stating that the Tenant gives the Landlord a lien for the Tenant's "personal property located on the premises." Since the original lease expired in April, is that something we are still able to enforce if he does not pay the past-due rent by 5/19/2025, as stated on the 14-day notice I gave him last Monday? Or, is there anything we can do with his property that he has inside and outside the premises if he doesn't pay? Can we prevent him from removing any of the equipment and/or tools that he brought with him in lieu of payment?

[TN] Can I serve my tenants with a 24-hour eviction notice for failing to pay rent?

They have been living in the residence since November of 2024 and have been told to leave but still haven’t left. They were supposed to be paying $800 a month plus their own bills, and they haven’t paid a dime. The electric and water have been coming out of my grandmother’s checking account each month.

[TN] What form does a judge sign for a name change?

I filled an application for name change in Sevier County Tn. I have a docket number. The girls at the courthouse advised me I had to download another form with my case number and that is the form I will personally give to the judge. I have no idea where to find this form.

[TN] Can I attend an estate hearing remotely?

My son passed away in Nashville, Tennessee. We live in California. We took our family back to Tennessee to file small estate forms. We paid off some bills, but we can’t pay the $19,000 he owed in child support. The court said the executor can’t have a misdemeanor on record, so we’re filing an amendment so my wife can be in charge. The court hearing is in Tennessee. We don’t know if the judge will allow a Zoom appearance. We can’t afford to fly back. What happens if we can’t make it?

[TN] How do I remove my name from my grandson’s vehicle title once the loan is paid off?

I am a cosigner for my grandson's car loan. The car loan will be paid off next week, and I would like to have my name removed from the title. Is that customary, or do I need to wait until the new title is issued and sell the vehicle back to him?
