when the unit reaches the UNSAFE and beyond "reasonable wear and
tear" limits.
Check with your local housing authority. In California, there is no fixed time period, it's just when the place is not "habitable". The tenant (in San Jose at least) can appeal and get an inspection which is binding on the landlord. You may have laws like that in Tennessee as well.

If the money comes out of the tenant's pocket or security no, the landlord by law is required to provide of a list of what repairs were done and is required to explain why if asked. There may be a clause in your lease regarding some repair cost, which a landlord might not bother to explain since it was included in the lease, however they are required to inform you if you ask.
