    But music history isn't the only thing to look forward to in Memphis. The city's also known for its incredible food and great arts scene.

    And it ranks among the best cities in the country for starting a business—the first Holiday Inn and Piggly Wiggly were launched in Memphis, for instance.

    While Memphis has the largest population of any city in Tennessee, it's 60% smaller than Nashville in overall size. At 324 square miles, however, Memphis is still almost three times bigger than Atlanta, GA.

    Tips for renting in Memphis, TN

     

    If you're considering Memphis as a new place to live, it's helpful to know some of the renters’ rights you're entitled to as a tenant.

    In the state of Tennessee, landlords can charge a late fee if your rent is 5 or more days late. The late fee must be less than 10% of your total rent and can't be assessed on a Sunday.

    If you're served an eviction notice, you have 14 days to fix the problem and if you don't, you're given an additional 16 days to move out.

    On the other hand, if your landlord fails to live up to their end of the lease, particularly when it comes to necessary repairs, tenants are able to withhold a portion of their rent.
