2021 Tennessee Code|Title 65 - Public Utilities and Carriers|Chapter 37 - Pricing & Bundling of Telecommunications Services|§ 65-37-101. Promotional Incentives for Telecommunications Services — Policy — Implementation

  It is the policy of the general assembly to encourage and not prohibit or delay attractive discount pricing and special promotional offers for telecommunications services.   To implement the policy articulated in this section and to encourage low prices, notwithstanding any other law, all telecommunications providers shall be permitted to offer promotional incentives for telecommunications services, including rebates and limited free service offerings, with such promotions not extending more than six (6) months. Any such free service promotions shall not provide more than one (1) month of free local exchange service in any twelve-month period. Any such free service promotion available for the full six-month period may not be reinstituted for thirty (30) days after expiration of such period.

2021 Tennessee Code|Title 65 - Public Utilities and Carriers|Chapter 37 - Pricing & Bundling of Telecommunications Services|§ 65-37-102. Price Discrimination

  Price differences among retail telecommunications customers shall be strictly prohibited, to the extent that such differences are attributable to race, creed, color, religion, sex or national origin. All other differences in pricing among retail telecommunications customers, as of May 28, 2005, shall be presumed to be a function of the competitive market. This presumption may be rebutted by evidence of price discrimination as prohibited by state law.   Nothing in this section shall alter or expand the jurisdiction of the Tennessee public utility commission to hear complaints alleging price discrimination as prohibited by state law in retail telecommunications services within its jurisdiction, as its jurisdiction existed immediately prior to May 28, 2005, except to the extent that such jurisdiction is reduced pursuant to exemption by the commission subsequent to May 28, 2005. This chapter does not confer jurisdiction on the commission relating to services outside its jurisdiction as of May 28, 2005. In determining whether differences in pricing among retail telecommunications customers constitute price discrimination as prohibited by state law, the commission shall consider all relevant factors, including, but not limited to, whether:  Customers have been or will be injured as a result of the alleged price differences;   There is a legitimate business reason to distinguish between the customers who are being treated differently;   Customers who are being treated differently are similarly situated;   Customers may choose a functionally equivalent service from an alternative service provider at substantially the same price and terms; and   The commission has determined previously that existing and potential competition is an effective regulator of the price of the service that is the subject of the complaint.

2021 Tennessee Code|Title 65 - Public Utilities and Carriers|Chapter 37 - Pricing & Bundling of Telecommunications Services|§ 65-37-104. Financial Information or Reporting — System of Accounts

 The Tennessee public utility commission shall not establish or impose upon price-regulated carriers subject to this title state-specific financial information or financial reporting requirements or a uniform system of accounts. Price-regulated carriers subject to this title may be required to file with the commission only that financial information or financial reports that are required to be filed with the federal communications commission. Such commission filing requirements may be satisfied by the carrier by the submission to the commission of a letter explicitly identifying a publicly-available government website on which the information is posted. The inspection, control and supervision fee established in § 65-4-301 shall be based on the financial information contained in such federal reports.
TN Code § 66-6-101 (2021)
2021 Tennessee Code|Title 66 - Property|Chapter 6 - Tennessee Coordinate System|§ 66-6-101. Designation of Geodetic Survey System

  The most recent system of plane coordinates which has been established by the United States Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Geodetic Survey, based on the National Spatial Reference System, and known as the State Plane Coordinate System, for defining and stating the geographic positions or locations of points on the surface of the earth within the State of Tennessee shall hereafter be known as the Tennessee State Plane Coordinate System.   The system of plane coordinates, known as the North American Datum of 1983, which has been established by the United States Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Geodetic Survey, formerly the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, for defining and stating the geographic positions or locations of points on the surface of the earth within this state is hereafter to be known and designated as the Tennessee Coordinate System of 1983.   The system of plane coordinates which was established in 1927 by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey for defining and stating the positions or locations of points on the surface of the earth within this state is hereafter to be known and designated as the Tennessee Coordinate System of 1927.   For the purpose of the use of either system, this state has one (1) zone as defined by the National Geodetic Survey.   After December 31, 2022, the “Tennessee State Plane Coordinate System” is the sole system recognized and utilized in Tennessee for the purposes of this chapter. Any use prior to December 31, 2022, may continue to use the Tennessee Coordinate System of 1927 or the Tennessee Coordinate System of 1983 in its applications relative to redistricting.
TN Code § 66-6-102 (2021)
2021 Tennessee Code|Title 66 - Property|Chapter 6 - Tennessee Coordinate System|§ 66-6-102. Coordinates Used

 The plane coordinate values for a point on the earth's surface, used to express the geographic position or location of such point, shall consist of two (2) distances expressed in United States survey feet and decimals of a foot when using the Tennessee Coordinate System of 1927, expressed in either United States survey feet and decimals of a foot or meters and decimals of a meter when using the Tennessee Coordinate System of 1983, and expressed in either United States survey feet and decimals of a foot or meters and decimals of a meter when using the Tennessee State Plane Coordinate System. When the values are expressed in United States survey feet, they shall be used as the standard foot for the Tennessee State Plane Coordinate System. One of these distances, to be known as the “East X-coordinate,” shall give the distance east of the Y axis; the other, to be known as the “North Y-coordinate,” shall give the distance north of the X axis. The Y axis of any zone shall be parallel with the central meridian of that zone. The X axis of any zone shall be at right angles to the central meridian of that zone.
TN Code § 66-6-103 (2021)
2021 Tennessee Code|Title 66 - Property|Chapter 6 - Tennessee Coordinate System|§ 66-6-103. Technical Definitions of Systems

  For purposes of more precisely defining the Tennessee Coordinate System of 1927, the following definition by the United States coast and geodetic survey, now the national ocean survey/national geodetic survey, is adopted:  The “Tennessee Coordinate System of 1927” is a Lambert conformal conic projection of the Clarke spheroid of 1866, having standard parallels at north latitudes 35° 15' and 36° 25', along which parallels the scale shall be exact. The origin of coordinates is at the intersection of the meridian 86° 00' west of Greenwich and the parallel 34° 40' north latitude. This origin is given the coordinates: x (easting) = two million feet (2,000,000') and y (northing) = one hundred thousand feet (100,000').    For purposes of more precisely defining the Tennessee Coordinate System of 1983, the following definition by the national ocean survey/national geodetic survey is adopted:  The “Tennessee Coordinate System of 1983” is Lambert conformal conic projection of the North American Datum of 1983, having standard parallels at north latitudes 35° 15' and 36° 25', along which parallels the scale shall be exact. The origin of coordinates is at the intersection of the meridian 86° 00' west of Greenwich and the parallel 34° 20' north latitude. This origin is given the coordinates: x (easting) = six hundred thousand meters (600,000 m.) and y (northing) = zero meters (0 m.).    The definition of the “U.S. Survey Foot” is exactly 1,200/3,937 meters.

2021 Tennessee Code|Title 66 - Property|Chapter 6 - Tennessee Coordinate System|§ 66-6-104. Proximity to Horizontal Control Monuments Required for Use of Coordinates

 Unless established by Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) methods, no coordinates based on the systems of plane coordinates defined in this chapter, purporting to define the position of a point on a land boundary, shall be presented to be recorded in any public land records or deed records unless such point is within ten kilometers (10 km) of a horizontal control monument existing or newly established in conformity with the standards of accuracy for first or second order geodetic surveying as prepared and published by the federal geodetic control committee of the United States department of commerce. Standards of the federal geodetic control committee or its successor in force on the date of such survey shall apply. The accuracy limitations described in this section may be modified by any governmental agency to meet local conditions.

2021 Tennessee Code|Title 66 - Property|Chapter 6 - Tennessee Coordinate System|§ 66-6-105. Description of Location of Survey Stations or Land Boundary Corners — Reliance on System Not Required

  For purposes of describing the location of any survey station or land boundary corner in this state, it is considered a complete, legal, and satisfactory description of such location to give the position of such survey station or land boundary corner on any system of plane coordinates defined in this chapter; provided, that any person choosing to use a system of plane coordinates to describe any such survey station or land boundary after December 31, 1992, shall use the Tennessee Coordinate System of 1983 and after December 31, 2022, shall use the Tennessee State Plane Coordinate System.   Nothing contained in this chapter requires a purchaser or mortgagee of real property to rely wholly on a property description, any part of which depends exclusively upon any Tennessee coordinate system.
TN Code § 66-6-106 (2021)
2021 Tennessee Code|Title 66 - Property|Chapter 6 - Tennessee Coordinate System|§ 66-6-106. Use of Term System on Documents — Designation of System Used

  The terms Tennessee Coordinate System of 1927, Tennessee Coordinate System of 1983, or Tennessee State Plane Coordinate System must not be used on any map, report of survey, or other document, unless the coordinates contained within such document are based on the Tennessee coordinate system as defined in this chapter.   Any document containing coordinates based upon a system of plane coordinates defined in this chapter shall contain a statement that indicates whether the Tennessee Coordinate System of 1927, the Tennessee Coordinate System of 1983, or the Tennessee State Plane Coordinate System was used.   This chapter must not be construed to prohibit the appropriate use of other datums and other geodetic reference networks.

2021 Tennessee Code|Title 66 - Property|Chapter 7 - Leases|§ 66-7-101. Writing Required for Long Term Leases — Authentication and Registration

 Leases for more than three (3) years shall be in writing, and, to be valid against any person other than the lessor, the lessor's heirs and devisees, and persons having actual notice thereof, shall be proved and registered as provided in Chapters 22 24 of this title.   Code 1858, § 2002 (deriv. Acts 1841-1842, ch. 12, § 4); Shan., § 3663; Code 1932, § 7191; T.C.A. (orig. ed.), § 64-701.
TN Code § 66-7-102 (2021)
2021 Tennessee Code|Title 66 - Property|Chapter 7 - Leases|§ 66-7-102. Effect of Injury to Buildings

  Where any building which is leased or occupied is destroyed or so injured by the elements, or any other cause, as to be untenantable and unfit for occupancy, and no express agreement to the contrary has been made in writing, the lessee or occupant may, if the destruction or injury occurred without fault or neglect by the lessee, surrender possession of the premises, without liability to the lessor or owner for rent for the time subsequent to the surrender.   A covenant or promise by the lessee to leave or restore the premises in good repair shall not have the effect to bind the lessee to erect or pay for such buildings as may be so destroyed, unless in respect of the matter of loss or destruction there was neglect or fault on the lessee's part, or unless the lessee has expressly stipulated in writing to be so bound.    Code 1932, §§ 7619, 7620; T.C.A. (orig. ed.), §§ 64-702, 64-703.
TN Code § 66-7-103 (2021)
2021 Tennessee Code|Title 66 - Property|Chapter 7 - Leases|§ 66-7-103. Maximum Term of Oil and Gas Leases

   Any lease of oil or natural gas rights or any other conveyance of any kind separating such rights from the freehold estate of land shall expire at the end of ten (10) years from the date executed, unless, at the end of such ten (10) years, natural gas or oil is being produced from such land for commercial purposes. If, at any time after the ten-year period, commercial production of oil or natural gas is terminated for a period of six (6) months, all such rights shall revert to the owner of the estate out of which the leasehold estate was carved. No assignment or agreement to waive this subsection (a) shall be valid or enforceable.   This subsection (a) shall not be construed to affect the validity or the expiration date of any lease or other instrument executed prior to March 16, 1939, nor shall it be construed to affect the validity or the expiration date of any lease, conveyance or other instrument insofar as it may convey underground natural gas storage rights, or otherwise separate such rights from the freehold estate, whenever executed.      For a period of one (1) year after the ten-year period provided for in subsection (a) has expired, “production,” as used in subsection (a), includes the actual production of minerals under any lease hereof or by the owner of any mineral interest, or when operations are being conducted by any owner of a lease or mineral interest for injection, withdrawal, storage, or disposal of water, gas, or other fluid substances, or when rentals or royalties are being paid by the owner of such leases for the purpose of delaying or enjoying the use of exercise of the rights thereunder or when the same is being carried out on any tract with which such leasehold interest may be unitized or pooled for production purposes. During the one-year period provided for in this subsection (b), any act by the owner of any leasehold or mineral interest pursuant to or authorized by the instrument creating such interest shall be effective to continue in force all rights granted by such instrument, notwithstanding subsection (a).   This subsection (b) applies to a drilling unit of no more than the number of acres provided for under the pooling clause of the lease and provided there is compliance with the rules of the Tennessee oil and gas board as set forth in paragraph 1040-2-4-01 of such rules (well spacing).
TN Code § 66-7-104 (2021)
2021 Tennessee Code|Title 66 - Property|Chapter 7 - Leases|§ 66-7-104. Physically Disabled Persons' Access to Housing Accommodations

  Totally or partially blind persons and other physically disabled persons shall be entitled to full and equal access, as other members of the general public, to all housing accommodations offered for rent, lease or compensation in this state, subject to the conditions and limitations established by law and applicable to all persons.   “Housing accommodations” means any real property or portion thereof which is used to occupy or is intended, arranged or designed to be used or occupied, as the home, residence or sleeping place of one (1) or more human beings, but does not include any single family residence, the occupants of which rent, lease or furnish for compensation not more than one (1) room in the residence.    Nothing in this section shall require any person renting, leasing, or providing for compensation any real property to modify such property in any way or manner or to provide a higher degree of care for a totally blind or partially blind person or other physically disabled person than for a person who is not blind or disabled.    Notwithstanding subdivision (c)(1), any person renting, leasing, or providing for compensation any real property that is three (3) or more stories tall shall give priority in access to housing units on floors one (1) and two (2) of such property to physically disabled persons whose disability would prevent such persons from having reasonable access to units located on higher floors; provided, that the person shall not be required to seek out physically disabled occupants or forego occupancy of the unit for any period of time if a physically disabled occupant is not available. Nothing in this subdivision (c)(2) shall prevent the lessor from using or applying other factors in determining whether or not to rent to a disabled person.   A violation of subdivision (c)(2)(A) is a Class C misdemeanor punishable only by a fine not to exceed fifty dollars ($50.00).       Every totally blind or partially blind person who has a guide dog, or who obtains a guide dog, shall be entitled to full and equal access to all housing accommodations included within subsection (a) or any accommodations provided for in §§ 71-4-201, 71-4-202 and this section, and such person shall not be required to pay extra compensation for such guide dog, but shall be liable for any damages done to the premises by such animal.

2021 Tennessee Code|Title 66 - Property|Chapter 7 - Leases|§ 66-7-105. Adult Bookstores and Movie Houses — Leases Unenforceable

 Hereby declared against public policy and unenforceable are all leases or rental contracts, whether or not in writing, on real estate or buildings which are used for the purpose of sale, display, distribution or exhibition of obscene live performances or obscene material of any other kind including, but not limited to, the business of operating a store or house for the sale, or the commercial display, distribution or exhibition of an obscene book or magazine or other printed matter, motion pictures or peep shows. Occupants claiming the right to possess, use or occupy any building or real estate because of such an unenforceable lease or rental contract shall be immediately subject to eviction for unlawful detainer thereof in a suit by the owner of the building or real estate or by the state or by the county or by the incorporated municipality in which the building or real estate is located. Any person, firm, partnership or corporation that knowingly leases or rents any real estate or building to any person, firm, partnership or corporation for such purpose shall not have standing to use the courts or legal processes to enforce such lease or rental contract or to collect rentals or any other consideration because of such an unenforceable lease or rental contract.
TN Code § 66-7-106 (2021)
2021 Tennessee Code|Title 66 - Property|Chapter 7 - Leases|§ 66-7-106. Leasing to Blind Persons

  Any legally blind person in this state whose loss of sight necessitates a guide dog for mobility purposes, which has been obtained from a recognized school of training for such purposes, may not be denied the right to lease an apartment or other types of dwellings as a consequence of having a guide dog.   Because the guide dog is essential to the mobility of its master, no deposit may be required to be paid, with respect to the dog, by the legally blind person to the owner, manager, landlord or agent of any such attendance.   No restrictions may be imposed upon the legally blind person regarding the whereabouts of the animal so long as its master is in attendance.   Any owner, manager, landlord or agent who refuses to lease living space to any legally blind person because of a guide dog, or violates this section, commits a Class C misdemeanor.

2021 Tennessee Code|Title 66 - Property|Chapter 7 - Leases|§ 66-7-108. Commercial Lease Disclosure Statement — Remedies for Misrepresentation

  At the request of a prospective tenant, the owner of commercial or industrial real property where the commercial property space is one thousand five hundred square feet (1,500 sq. ft.) or less, and the industrial real property is five thousand square feet (5,000 sq. ft.) or less, shall furnish to such prospective tenant a signed disclosure statement detailing the extent to which such real property is understood by the owner to be in compliance with local and state fire, plumbing, and electrical codes for a building of the type under construction. If, at the time such disclosure is made, an item of information required to be disclosed is unknown or not available to the owner, the owner may state that such information is unknown.   If the owner knowingly misrepresents information required to be disclosed by this section, the lessee's remedies, at the option of the lessee, for such misrepresentation on the disclosure statement shall be either:  An action for actual damages suffered as a result of known defects existing in the property as of the date of execution of the lease. Any action brought under this subdivision (b)(1) shall be commenced within one (1) year from the date the lessee received the disclosure statement or the date of occupancy, whichever occurs first; or   Termination of the lease.     Nothing in this section shall affect other remedies at law or equity otherwise available against an owner in the event of an owner's intentional or willful misrepresentation of the condition of the subject property.
