What is Rentalscape LTR?

Rentalscape LTR is an AI-powered GovTech compliance platform built exclusively for U.S. local governments. It helps cities and counties identify unregistered long-term rental properties, manage landlord registration and licensing, monitor compliance, and recover lost licensing revenue. It is developed by Deckard Technologies and is trusted by 400+ jurisdictions across the United States.

How is Rentalscape LTR different from property management software?

Rentalscape LTR is a government compliance platform, not property management software. Unlike tools such as AppFolio or Yardi that help landlords manage their properties, Rentalscape LTR is designed for municipal and county governments to enforce rental registration laws, identify non-compliant landlords, and collect licensing fees. It replaces manual spreadsheets and reactive complaint-based enforcement with proactive, AI-driven oversight of the entire rental housing stock.

How does Deckard Technologies identify unregistered long-term rental properties?

Deckard Technologies uses proprietary data mining, AI, and third-party data sources to detect long-term rentals operating across a jurisdiction without a valid license. The platform cross-references online rental listings, permit records, and other data sources to surface unregistered properties, then provides targeted outreach tools so government staff can contact non-compliant landlords directly.

Which governments use Rentalscape LTR?

Rentalscape LTR by Deckard Technologies is trusted by more than 400 U.S. local government jurisdictions, including cities and counties across the United States. It is purpose-built for municipal housing departments, code enforcement offices, city attorneys, and community safety directors who need reliable data and automated tools to manage long-term rental compliance at scale.

What revenue benefits do governments see from Rentalscape LTR?

By identifying previously unknown unregistered long-term rental properties and bringing them into compliance, local governments recover lost licensing fee revenue without raising taxes. Rentalscape LTR increases landlord registration rates, closes compliance gaps, and provides an automated system for ongoing revenue collection from rental property licensing programs.

Rentalscape LTR | Long-Term Rental Compliance for Local Governments

BENEFITS

Boost registration rates with Rentalscape LTR. From property identification to owner outreach, our portal gives local governments the verified data and communication tools needed for high compliance.

Move beyond the limitations of manual spreadsheet tracking. Gain a definitive record of every long-term rental, including exact locations and ownership.

Accurate,
 Real Time Data

Accurate, real-time data gives teams the insights needed to shape LTR ordinances, manage registrations, and streamline permitting.

Visibility into the Rental Market

Most jurisdictions rely on manual spreadsheets or honor systems. There is no reliable count of how many rentals exist, where they are, or who owns them.

Recover Licensing Revenue

Unregistered rentals mean uncollected fees, misclassified properties, and unreported rental conversions — leaving significant revenue on the table.

Engage with Property Owners

Many owners are absentee or out-of-state. Jurisdictions have no reliable contact information for emergency outreach, tenant rights communication, or program notifications.

Know Who is Living in Your Community

Without tenant data, local governments have no ability to engage with long term renters. Through registration, communities and citizens are able to engage through community outreach, while local agencies are in a better position to ensure safety and rule regulations.

Monitor Institutional Ownership & Rental Conversion

Identify rental properties owned by corporations, investment portfolios, or operators converting long-term housing into short-term rentals. Rentalscape LTR helps municipalities understand ownership patterns, monitor housing stock changes, and make more informed policy decisions.

IMPACT

Deckard Technologies goes beyond passive portals. We actively identify unregistered long-term rentals and drive compliance through targeted outreach. By surfacing hidden properties, we give city and county governments the real-world data needed to protect tenants, preserve neighborhoods, and build smarter housing policy.

What is Rentalscape's LTR product and who is it for?

Rentalscape’s Long-Term Rental product is a data-driven tool designed for local governments to identify, monitor, and regulate long-term rental properties. It’s ideal for city and county agencies seeking better visibility into rental activity, accurate enforcement of local rules, and increased registration or tax compliance.

How does Rentalscape identify LTRs?

We identify LTRs through long term rental websites and other publicly available data sources.

Why is LTR compliance important?

LTRs often have different tax and zoning rules than short-term rentals. Accurate tracking ensures fair enforcement and protects housing policy goals.

Why do cities and counties need a long-term rental registration tool?

Nearly half of US homes are long-term rentals, yet most local governments lack a reliable system to identify them. Without accurate data, cities can't distinguish rentals from owner-occupied properties, enforce registrations, or reach tenants with safety or community updates. Rentalscape’s LTR Registration Portal provides validated property and contact data, while our Outreach Service improves communication with both landlords and renters—empowering smarter planning and public engagement.

What does customer support look like with Rentalscape?

Rentalscape includes ongoing support from a dedicated customer service team, and over 50 in-house data analysts validate the AI findings, so you can get reliable insights and fast, responsive assistance.
