Description
Note
Dataset refreshes will be paused indefinitely. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and are working closely with the data owner to resolve the issue promptly*** This dataset contains information about eviction court cases in Shelby County, Tennessee. An eviction filing happens when a landlord takes a tenant to court—usually because rent hasn’t been paid or a lease rule was broken.

These cases are known as Forcible Entry and Detainer (FED) actions. The General Sessions Civil Court, which hears about 65,000 civil cases a year (including evictions), handles these filings. The data includes important details like the case number, filing date, people involved (landlords, tenants, and attorneys), case status, and property location.
Property information is matched using parcel ID numbers and includes full addresses and geographic coordinates when available. This data is cleaned and standardized to make it easier to work with. Historical records go back to January 1, 2016 .
