Tennessee lawmakers passed Senate Bill 350, preventing landlords from banning tenants from possessing firearms on leased property.
The law amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 66, extending firearm rights to homes, apartments, and vehicles in landlord-provided parking.
The legislation passed with strong bipartisan support: 27-5 in the Senate and 73-21 in the House.
Existing leases prohibiting firearms will be void as of July 1, 2025, and landlords must amend them by July 1, 2026.
The law allows tenants to sue for damages if landlords violate their rights, affirming that Second Amendment protections apply even in rental situations.
