It seems you're facing a landlord-tenant issue. In Tennessee:
- Verbal agreements can be legally binding.
- Rent increase is not allowed if agreed upon.
- Landlord's death doesn't terminate lease.

In Tennessee, landlords cannot evict tenants without a valid reason. If you have a verbal agreement, it may be legally binding. However, proving this can be challenging.
- Landlords cannot increase rent during the lease term unless the lease allows it.
- Landlords must provide a safe and habitable home.
