Tennessee HB0955 amends various sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated to remove the prohibition on rent control for residential properties, allowing local governments to establish regulations on rental prices for residential units. This bill affects local governmental units and residential property owners by enabling them to implement rent control measures. Key provisions include the requirement for local governments to assess housing conditions and establish a local rent agency to oversee rent control, as well as the establishment of an increased housing program administered by the Tennessee Housing Development Agency to promote affordable housing initiatives.
