Unlock Peace of Mind: The Essential Guide to Short-Term Rental Monitoring

The short-term rental (STR) industry continues to expand rapidly, creating powerful opportunities for property owners, managers, and local governments. However, as regulations evolve and neighborhoods seek balance, effective short-term rental monitoring has become essential.

Sustainable growth depends on more than listings and bookings—it requires visibility, enforcement, and short-term rental compliance. That’s why modern STR management software and rental tracking tools are evolving into comprehensive compliance solutions that protect communities and streamline operations.

If you want to maximize revenue, ensure compliance, and maintain public trust, Rentalscape by Deckard Technologies delivers everything you need in one intelligent platform.

Why Short-Term Rental Monitoring Is the Key to Compliance

Every successful short-term rental management program starts with visibility. Once a booking is made, the operational clock starts ticking, and so does your compliance responsibility. Without the right data, violations—such as excessive noise, unpaid taxes, or unpermitted listings—can quickly escalate into enforcement issues.

Advanced short-term rental monitoring software solves this problem. By automatically identifying, verifying, and tracking STR activity, local governments can proactively manage compliance before issues arise.

Founded in 2018 and headquartered in San Diego, Deckard Technologies has become a trusted leader in short-term rental compliance software for public agencies across the United States. Our data-driven technology helps cities and counties enforce regulations, identify unregistered rentals, and ensure fair tax collection—all with less administrative burden.

How Rentalscape Ensures Accurate Short-Term Rental Data

Accurate data is the foundation of effective short-term rental monitoring. Many tools only track listings from a few major booking sites, missing a significant portion of the market. Rentalscape, however, scans more than 10,000 websites globally, capturing the full spectrum of STR activity.

Deckard’s patented data-mining technology processes more than one billion records daily, using AI, natural language processing, and image analysis to pinpoint verified property addresses. This accuracy allows municipalities to confidently identify active STRs, enforce compliance, and manage complaints efficiently.

With this level of precision, Rentalscape delivers a clear, comprehensive view of your community’s short-term rental landscape.

"Since our shift to the Deckard Technologies product for identifying and monitoring short term rentals, my staff has experienced ease of use, a wide range of data availability and visual aspects that allow a quick look at useful information. Having this program greatly assists our county with TOT collections and enforcement. The customer service at Deckard continues to be of the highest quality."
