STR regulations/restrictions in Nashville

[Jonathan Denney]

So, I've heard/seen that Nashville can have some restrictions on STR, especially if they are not owner occupied. I was wondering if anyone local to the area could inform me as to what areas do and don't allow non-Owner occupied STRs and what sort of restrictions I can expect.

Agree with @Nathan Gesner, getting a NOO STR permit in Nashville is a pain in the butt. Most of the new builds that allow NOO STR sell at a premium and aren't worth it in my opinion. Local's HATE short-term rentals with a passion here and will call and report you for any noise violations. I used to do Uber and would see drunk girls and guys peeing on the side of the building in East Nashville when I would drive by. All I hear now is how there is no affordable housing in Nashville and of course, they blame STR investors for that.
