Housing - As introduced, authorizes municipalities to create, implement, and enforce a rental property registry for all residential rental dwelling units within the municipality's jurisdiction; requires owners of residential rental dwelling units to register; requires a municipality that adopts a registry to send an annual report containing certain information to the department of economic and community development. - Amends TCA Title 13, Chapter 21.

SB 1008 would allow Tennessee municipalities to create mandatory registries for all residential rental properties within their borders. Rental property owners would need to register annually with basic details (address, owner contact, unit count) and verify compliance with building and safety codes, while owner-occupied units renting fewer than two units and government-owned properties would be exempt. Municipalities could charge registration fees and impose penalties for non-compliance, and must submit annual reports to the state department detailing registered properties and code violations resolved. The bill takes effect July 1, 2025, if passed.
