HB 565, the "Tennessee Homebuyer Harassment Prevention Act," limits unsolicited real estate contact by restricting developers, businesses, or their representatives to one annual contact (via phone, text, email, etc.) with a property owner to offer to buy their property. It requires contactors to disclose their legal name, address, phone number, and email before reaching out. Property owners can file complaints with the Attorney General’s office, which must review them within 20 business days, and violators face civil penalties up to $2,000 per contact. The law excludes licensed real estate agents and government agencies from these restrictions.
