    This is a great place to live. I have been here for nearly six years now, and I love it. Shelby and Janice are awesome so helpful I quickly felt at home when I moved here.

    Memphis, TN in the news

    Renter's guide to Memphis, TN

    Not many cities have more culture and history than Memphis.  Whether it's Aretha Franklin, Johnny Cash, or Elvis Presley—they all got their start in this Tennessee city. Memphis is rated among the top cities for live music, particularly blues.

    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.

    Memphis is located 210 miles from Nashville and 383 miles from Atlanta, making both cities accessible by car.

    The weather in Memphis is considered humid subtropical, which means very warm and humid summers, with an average temperature of 83ºF. Of course, it gets plenty hotter than that.

    Winters are a bit chillier, with an average temp of 41°F, and snow is fairly common during the coldest months.

    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.
