How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft an Apartment Rental Agreement in Tennessee

In 2025, a personal client in Tennessee posted a project seeking assistance with drafting an apartment rental agreement. The client faced issues with their former landlord regarding the return of a security deposit and allegations of cleaning and repair costs that they felt were unjustified. The situation became particularly concerning as the landlord had accessed the property before the agreed-upon end of the lease term, despite the apartment being in good condition when vacated. As a result, the client received three proposals from licensed attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $299 to $1,499, all submitted to meet the requested deadline of one week.
