Since 2015, Nashville has gone from a couple thousand short-term rentals to nearly 7,000 with official permits. And in the past five years, the city has fielded more than 8,000 complaints.

  • Council Member Burkley Allen, sponsor of Metro’s initial short-term rental rules

  • Bonell McBroom, Metro Codes STRP enforcement chief
