Questions owners ask first

How much do short term property management companies charge in Nashville?

The usual charge for short-term rental property management in Nashville can vary between 10–40%, depending on the service provider and the extent of services they offer. For instance, some larger national firms may offer partial management at a lower rate, which might necessitate more involvement from you in tasks such as coordinating with housekeeping teams, replenishing supplies, changing beddings, and handling maintenance issues.

Are short term vacation rentals allowed in Nashville, Tennessee?

Yes, but there are certain rules and guidelines that you need to be aware of. Firstly, you'll need to ascertain whether your property is zoned appropriately for short-term rentals in Nashville. Next, you'll need to check if your neighborhood or community has specific regulations or building code requirements for operating short-term rentals. You must submit a Short Term Rental Property (STRP) application to the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County. Additionally, you'll need to acquire a permit from the Tennessee Department of Revenue. Proof of property and liability insurance is also required.

Do I need to collect and remit taxes for short term rentals in Nashville?

Before you begin collecting any short-term rental taxes from your guests in Nashville, it's crucial to understand whether any taxes have already been collected on your behalf. Some short-term rental platforms must register and collect Nashville short-term rental taxes for hosts when a listing is booked. Suppose taxes aren't being collected for you, such as when guests book directly with you rather than through a platform, you're responsible for collecting and remitting these taxes. The sales tax rate charged is based on the location where the lodging is provided. Additional taxes such as a basic room tax, an additional room tax, and a municipal room tax may also apply, depending on the location of your short-term rental property in Nashville. Please note that the information provided here is a general guideline and may not reflect the most current regulations. Always check with local authorities for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

What is included in your vacation rental management service?

We coordinate listing presentation, pricing, reservations, guest communication, cleaning, restocking, property checks, and maintenance. Monthly financial statements help you follow the home’s performance. Your management proposal sets out the service scope and which costs are included or billed separately.
