Nashville Creates Court to Handle Eviction Cases, Pay Landlords.
In an effort to prevent mass evictions, the Davidson County General Sessions Court has transferred nearly 2,000 pending eviction cases to a newly established housing court, the Nashville Post reports. The goal of the new court, to be overseen by Judge Rachel Bell in partnership with the Metropolitan Action Commission and Davidson County Circuit Court Clerk Richard Rooker, is to use nearly $21 million in federal rental assistance to pay landlords on behalf of tenants at risk of eviction. The Nashville Conflict Resolution Center is providing additional mediation work as part of the project. Supporters hope the effort will keep evictions off tenants’ records, a mark that can make it more difficult to find future housing. A federal eviction moratorium is in place through the end of March, but it does not prevent all evictions and the process for using the protection can be confusing, according to housing advocates.

Tennessee courts and clerks’ offices remain open and operational at this time. However, all in-court hearings (with very limited exceptions) have been cancelled beginning on March 13, 2020 through at least April 30, 2020. All filing deadlines that are set to expire between March 13, 2020 and May 5, 2020 are extended to May 6, 2020. All bankruptcy hearings are continuing as previously scheduled, but are being held telephonically in all three districts.
Tennessee has state-specific moratoriums in place with regard to default servicing such as foreclosures and eviction cases, and is limiting courts’ and clerks’ furtherance of collection actions. Per Supreme Court Order No. ADM2020-00428 (March 25, 2020), “No judge, clerk, or other court official shall take any action to effectuate an eviction, ejectment, or other displacement from a residence between March 13, 2020 and April 30, 2020…Judges also are encouraged to work with court clerks and local law enforcement to develop policies severely limiting or eliminating any new garnishments during this time.” Tennessee law firms must also adhere to the foreclosure and eviction moratoriums that have been set by the federal government.
