Landlord and Tenant - As introduced, authorizes a landlord to submit a single registration form for a multi-dwelling property with the agency or department of local government that is responsible for enforcing building codes in the jurisdiction if the property contains five or more dwelling units; authorizes local governments to require residential landlords to register with the local government. - Amends TCA Section 66-28-107.
SB 592 amends Tennessee law to simplify landlord registration for properties with five or more dwelling units. It allows landlords to submit one registration form for the entire property instead of separate forms for each unit, provided all required information is identical across units. Local governments may require residential landlords to register with specified fees (capped at existing limits), but are not required to adopt such rules by June 2025. The bill directly affects multi-unit landlords and local governments deciding on registration policies. It takes effect July 1, 2025, if passed.
