Bill > SB0592

This bill amends Tennessee's landlord registration law to make it easier for property owners with multiple dwelling units to register their properties and to give local governments more flexibility in implementing registration requirements. Specifically, the bill allows landlords with properties containing five or more dwelling units to submit a single registration form for the entire property if the information is the same for all units. It also enables municipal, metropolitan, and county governments to adopt landlord registration requirements through an ordinance or resolution, specifying which types of dwelling units must be registered and setting registration fees (up to a predetermined limit). Notably, local governments already subject to the law as of June 30, 2025, will not need to pass a new ordinance. The changes aim to streamline the registration process for larger properties and provide local governments with more control over residential property registration. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2025, to give local governments and landlords time to adapt to the new requirements.
