Need Eviction Help - Nashville

[Andy Ballew]

Hi BP family. I am happy to say that in the many years of being a landlord I have never had to formally evict anyone. I have a tenant who is habitually late. When he finally caught up on his rent he text me saying he would be out on 2/1/2022. He hasn't paid January rent, I sent him a notice saying the rent was late. Being that he said he would vacate the property on 2/1 I didn't push the issue and was just glad he would be gone at the end of this month.

Today he said he is going to pay his rent for January and he is going to stay until 2/14, and send prorated rent for February. 

Clearly, this guy needs to go.

Just to add, I learned that he has been using the home as a halfway house. Though he claims that people that are staying with him are in "transition". I know. Mind blown!!!!!

The question, what is the absolute fastest legal way to swiftly evict this guy? Help!
