If they have already been arraigned there is no statutory time limit for the next step except for the "speedy trial" rule, and many (most?) defense attorneys routinely waive this time limit in order to better prepare their cases.

What is the maximum wait for a preliminary hearing in TN?

A preliminary hearing, in the context of criminal law, is used to determine whether probable cause exists to believe that the offense charged in the information has been committed by the defendant. The hearing officer considers the evidence and reaches a decision on the issue of whether probable cause existed for the arrest and subsequent charge. In Tennessee the arrestee will go through the these steps in the criminal justice process before reaching the Prelim stage: Arrest - Initial Appearance - Bail hearing (sometimes combined with the Initial Appearance) - THEN Preliminary Hearing (see above). All these processes must occur within the context of "Speedy Trial" rules, so it is a safe bet that the Prelim will occur sometime within the first 90 days following arrest. How soon or how late may be a function of how full the courts docket happens to be AND whether the defendant asks for or needs time to secure private counsel.

How long do you have to stay in the property once a motion of relief from debtor has been filed?

A preliminary hearing on the motion must be heard within 30 days of the date it is filed, unless that requirement is waived by the creditor. The motion could be granted at that hearing, or the court could set it for a final hearing, which must be heard within 30 days of the preliminary hearing. If the motion is granted, the creditor may then proceed with actions to remove you from the property. The creditor may have to foreclose, if it involves a secured claim. After foreclosure, and in the event it is a landlord-tenant situation, the creditor must file to evict you, if you do not move out voluntarily. That could take another 30 days, longer if you appeal. I have seen people who know how to game the system stay in property a year or longer.
