original lease how can I break lease and get back rent without big court battle. Property was my mothers, and renter is friend. But has lease that says she didn't have to pay rent, and my mother would never have done that. Also never issued nothing but month to month lease to anybody never long term. Trying to sell to investors before it goes to tax sell and this is hindering process, and costing money of back rent in the thousands of dollars

If you can show facts strongly suggestive or indicative of fraud, that is grounds for nullifying the contract. You would probably have to file either a lawsuit, or, if Tennessee law allows, an equity suit in order to void the contract and get back whatever fraudulent gains the friend retained. I do not think you would be able to achieve the objectives you desire without legal process of some sort, unless you are able to persuade your friend to abandon his claims based on facts. Perhaps a lawyer's letter to the friend towards that end would be highly persuasive.
