Short Term Rental - Neighbor Not Happy - Need Attorney Rec

[Jeff Halverson]

Hi - I purchased a home in Sevier County last year, remodeled it, and just got it on the short term rental market. I have a COO for 12 people but listed the property on AIRBNB at 16. My neighbor, who is vehemently opposed to the short term rental called the county and apparently he has an attorney.

Does my neighbor have any type of "case"?  He'd like to shut me down but other than that I am wondering what other implications there may be?   It was a mistake to list it for 16 people and have since taken it down. 

I'd like to start a dialouge with an attorney and may need representation at some point.  

If anyone has any insights or similar experiences, particularly in TN, please let me know. 

TIA,

Jeff
