IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF TENNESSEE

AT NASHVILLE
November 6, 2001 Session

G. L. VANHORN
v.
DAN WEBB and BRYANT M. RAINES
d/b/a/ MICKEY'S LATE NIGHT PARTY

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Davidson County
No. 01-C-189 Carol Soloman, Judge

No. M2001-00807-COA-R3-CV - Filed August, 9, 2002
This case arises from commercial property leases.  The defendants operated a late night dance club on premises leased from the plaintiff.  The plaintiff landlord unilaterally terminated the leases, changed the locks, and filed suit to recover for damage to the premises.  While several pretrial motions were pending, the trial court scheduled the final hearing.  The trial court found that the defendant tenants had a week-to-week oral lease and that the tenants violated the lease by engaging in illegal activity on the premises.  On appeal, the defendant tenants argue that they were not given sufficient notice prior to the final hearing.  We affirm, because the record does not show that the issues raised on appeal were presented to the trial court.
