Living in Memphis has some definite pros, like the city's rich culture, excellent food, great music, and bustling nightlife. All of that contributes to a strong tourism industry. If munching on ribs and listening to live blues is your thing, this place can't be beat.

Then there's Sun Studio, where the first rock 'n' roll single was supposedly recorded back in 1951. During its heyday, the studio hosted everyone from Johnny Cash and B.B. King to Howlin' Wolf and Elvis Presley.
The Memphis Rock 'n' Soul Museum is another great place to learn about the city's rich music history. Or you can go in a different direction, exploring the National Civil Rights Museum. It's located at the Lorraine Motel, where Martin Luther King was tragically shot and killed in 1968.
For something a little more kid-friendly, try the Memphis Zoo—lions, tigers and bears, oh my. Or take a stroll along the Mississippi River at the Mississippi Greenbelt Park. Overton Park is another great place for a walk or a picnic.
Music lovers will get a kick out of Memphis in May, a whole month of events that comes around every year. You'll be treated to tons of different types of music, week after week.
But Memphis is more than just music. They've also got a booming sports scene. There's the Memphis Grizzlies professional basketball team, University of Memphis Tigers basketball and football, and the Memphis Redbirds minor league baseball team.
And shopaholics can make their way over to Wolfchase Galleria, one of the city's best shopping centers.

Tips for Renting in Memphis
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.
