Frequently asked questions

Common questions about starting with VeriStay.

What is VeriStay?

VeriStay is a short-term rental address identification and license verification platform. It finds the address behind each listing remotely and checks it against your license records, so you can see which rentals may be unlicensed and review them for enforcement.

Why choose VeriStay?

VeriStay is a lightweight alternative to the larger compliance platforms, built for municipalities that run their own short-term rental registration and enforcement. We do the address research and check each listing against your existing license records, so your staff can review the likely unlicensed rentals and act where appropriate.

What about implementation support?

We help load your data and show your staff how to use the app.

How do we reach support?

Send a support ticket from inside the app, or call us at (513) 202-6331. When we reply to a ticket, you'll get a notification and an email.

How does VeriStay identify the address of short-term rentals?

VeriStay identifies likely property addresses by comparing listing photos and details with public sources such as satellite and Street View imagery, assessor and appraiser records, real estate photos, parcel data, GIS maps and public property records. Most matches come down to distinctive architectural and landscaping features that show up in more than one source.


Screenshots of these matches are saved with each address, to document how and why the listing was tied to it.

What is required on our end?

At a minimum, nothing. We can identify the addresses of the short-term rentals in your municipality without anything from you, and we can even create your boundary shapefile if you don't have one.


If you’d also like VeriStay to check whether those listings are licensed, we’ll need your short-term rental registry data, as a CSV or Excel file or through an API.

Why VeriStay

VeriStay does the address research so your staff can spend their time on enforcement.
