Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about starting with VeriStay.

What is VeriStay?

VeriStay is a short-term rental address identification and license verification platform that identifies STR listing addresses remotely and compares them against municipal license records to help municipalities identify potentially unlicensed listings for review and enforcement.

Why choose VeriStay?

VeriStay is built to be a lightweight alternative to larger compliance platforms and is specifically designed to assist municipalities that handle their own short-term rental registration and enforcement processes. VeriStay identifies listing addresses remotely and compares them against existing STR license records so municipalities can review potentially unlicensed listings and take enforcement action where appropriate.

What about implementation support?

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

What is the support turnaround time?

Send a support ticket from inside the app, or call us at (513) 202-6331.

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

VeriStay identifies likely property addresses by cross-referencing listing photos and details against publicly available sources such as satellite imagery, Street View imagery, assessor and property appraiser imagery/data, realty and property imagery, parcel data and GIS mapping, and public property records. The identification process also relies on matching unique architectural and landscaping characteristics visible across multiple sources.


Screenshots of these visual matches between the listing property and the identified address are then taken to document how and why a listing was tied to a specific address.

What is required on our end?

To identify the property addresses of short-term rental listings within your municipality, nothing is required on your end at a minimum. Even items such as municipal boundary shapefiles can be created by VeriStay on your behalf if needed.


If you would also like VeriStay to determine whether identified listings appear licensed or unlicensed, we would need access to your municipality’s short-term rental registry data. This data can be provided in formats such as CSV, Excel, or through API access.

Why VeriStay

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