TN Code § 66-30-104 (2021)
2021 Tennessee Code|Title 66 - Property|Chapter 30 - Residential Ground Rent Act|§ 66-30-104. Lien Against Real Estate

 A residential ground rent shall constitute a lien against the real estate from the time it is recorded, in a like manner as would a deed of trust or mortgage. Any deed of trust or mortgage on the interest of the obligor in the real estate may provide that a default in payment of ground rent shall constitute a material default in such deed of trust or mortgage; that the trustee or beneficiary thereunder may satisfy such obligation for rent, and that the money so advanced, with interest thereon, shall be a part of the debt secured, to be repaid as provided by law, and such trustee or beneficiary shall be subrogated to the rights of the obligee in the real estate to the extent of such advancement and interest.
TN Code § 66-30-105 (2021)
2021 Tennessee Code|Title 66 - Property|Chapter 30 - Residential Ground Rent Act|§ 66-30-105. Redemption

 The obligor shall have the right to redeem a residential ground rent at any time after three (3) years from the date of the ground rent agreement. The redemption shall be effected for such amount as the obligor and the obligee may have agreed upon; or, in the absence of such an agreement, shall be determined by capitalizing the ground rent in effect at the time of redemption at ten percent (10%). Upon tender of such amount by the obligor, together with any lawfully collectible arrearages of rent and interest thereon, the obligor may redeem the land from, and shall be entitled to a release from, all obligation to pay ground rent and to a warranty deed. Such release and such deed shall be in recordable form and the cost of recording the same, together with any other charges incidental to it, other than the state transfer tax, shall be paid by the obligor. The obligor's right to redeem may be assigned absolutely or as collateral security to the holder of any deed of trust or mortgage on the interest of the obligor in the real estate, and such deed of trust or mortgage may require that the obligor exercise the obligor's right to redeem upon the written demand of the trustee or beneficiary thereunder, and that a failure to exercise such right of redemption, under such circumstances, shall constitute a material default under such deed of trust or mortgage.

Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, a local government unit, or any subdivision or instrumentality thereof, shall not enact, maintain, or enforce any ordinance, resolution, regulation, rule, or other requirement of any type that:  Requires the direct or indirect allocation of existing or newly constructed private residential or commercial rental units to be sold or rented at below market rates;   Conditions any zoning change, variance, building permit, development entitlements through amendment to the zoning map, or any change in land use restrictions or requirements, on the allocation of existing or newly constructed private residential or commercial rental units to be sold or rented at below market rates; or   Requires a person to waive the person's constitutionally protected rights related to real property in order that the local government unit can increase the number of existing or newly constructed private residential or commercial rental units that would be available for purchase or lease at below market rates within the jurisdiction of the local government unit.

Any person who suffers an ascertainable loss of money or property, real, personal, or mixed, or any other article, commodity, or thing of value wherever situated, as a result of the practices prohibited by this section, may bring an action individually to recover actual damages.

2021 Tennessee Code|Title 66 - Property|Chapter 37 - Prohibition of Covenants Providing for Transfer Fees Act of 2011|§ 66-37-103. Legislative Findings

 The general assembly makes the following findings:   The public policy of this state favors the transferability of interests in real property free from unreasonable restraints on alienation and covenants or servitudes that do not touch and concern the property; and   A transfer fee covenant violates this public policy by impairing the marketability of title to the affected real property and constitutes an unreasonable restraint on alienation, regardless of the duration of the covenant or the amount of the transfer fee set forth in the covenant.

Nothing in this chapter shall imply that a transfer fee covenant recorded prior to June 10, 2011 is valid or enforceable.
