TN lawmaker files bill that would limit unsolicited contact from real estate developers
SUMMARY: As Nashville experiences rapid growth, longtime homeowners like Kim Tucker are overwhelmed by persistent offers from developers eager to capitalize on the housing demand. In response, a new bill introduced by Sen. Charlane Oliver, known as the “Tennessee Homebuyer Harassment Protection Act,” aims to limit unsolicited contact from real estate developers. This legislation would allow homeowners to report aggressive developers to the Attorney General, with potential fines of up to $2,000 for non-compliance. Oliver emphasizes the need to protect the character of neighborhoods and the livelihoods of residents from external pressures and harassment.

SUMMARY: As Clarksville expands, city leaders are concerned about neglected and abandoned homes in older neighborhoods. Mayor Joe Pittz has appointed Councilwoman Deanna McLin to lead the new Restore Clarksville task force, which will address these issues. The task force aims to identify problematic properties and assist homeowners in rehabilitation with community resources, emphasizing incentives over penalties. Mayor Pittz believes this initiative will save the city money by reducing police and code enforcement costs related to these properties.
