Present law requires each landlord of one or more dwelling units in Davidson County to furnish the following information with the agency or department of local government that is responsible for enforcing building codes in the jurisdiction where the dwelling units are located:  The landlord or the landlord's agent's name, telephone number, and physical address, which does not include a post office box.  The street address and unit number, as appropriate, for each dwelling unit that the landlord owns, leases, or subleases or has the right to own, lease, or sublease. This bill removes the provision limiting the applicability of the above only to properties in Davidson County and, instead, provides that the above requirement applies to a municipal, metropolitan, or county government that adopts such requirement by passage of an ordinance or resolution. The ordinance or resolution must specify the types of dwelling units that require registration and set the amount of the fee, not to exceed $10 per year. However, a local government that is subject to this requirement on or before June 30, 2025, is not required to pass an ordinance or resolution pursuant to this bill. This bill also adds that for properties that contain five or more dwelling units subject to this requirement, a landlord may submit one form for the entire property if all the required information is the same for all the dwelling units on the same property.
