01
Consent is collected up front.
We don't ship a listing on the assumption a landlord 'probably wouldn't mind.' If we don't have a verbal or signed attestation, the property doesn't exist on the platform.
Verification is a process, not a badge.
Every property clears the same four-step check before it appears in inventory — and re-clears it every 15-30 days. This page is the long-form receipt.

Principles
Three rules we don't bend.
02
Verification expires on a clock.
Every verified status is stamped with a 15-30 day expiry. The clock is visible on the listing. No re-attestation, no listing - regardless of how active the operator account is.
03
We are paid by operators only.
Landlords don't pay to be listed. Removing the listing fee is the only way verification can credibly say 'no' when a property fails.
The Process
Four steps. Same four, every time.
No marketing exceptions, no relationship shortcuts. The steps below are exactly what happens between a landlord submission and a listing going live — and what happens again, every 15-30 days, to keep it there.
Landlord intent & property details
We confirm landlord openness and collect the core property record.
We collect
- Verbal or digitally signed STR/MTR attestation
- Property address + unit details
- Landlord contact info + identity
We check
- Attestation language is unambiguous
- Owner identity confirmed
- Contact info is reachable and active
Common failure modes
- Landlord declines to attest
- Identity cannot be confirmed
- Contact info unreachable or invalid
HOA / building rules
If the building says no, the landlord can't say yes.
We collect
- HOA covenants (CC&Rs)
- Building rules / handbook
- Recent board minutes (where public)
We check
- STR/MTR explicitly permitted, or absent and not implicitly prohibited
- No active rule change in progress
- Minimum-stay floor compatible with target use
Common failure modes
- Building bylaws prohibit STR or rentals under 30 days
- HOA has filed STR rule change in last 6 months
- Building requires board approval per stay
City + state framework
We disclose the regulatory picture directly on the listing.
We collect
- Current city STR/MTR ordinance
- Permit availability + cap
- State-level pre-emption status
We check
- Property type permitted under ordinance
- Permit obtainable within reasonable window
- No active moratorium
Common failure modes
- City moratorium on new STR permits
- Property in a permit-capped zone with no availability
- Pending ordinance with high probability of restriction
Expiry + re-verification
Verification is a clock, not a stamp.
We collect
- Re-attestation from landlord
- Updated framework snapshot
- Operator-reported issues, if any
We check
- All three prior steps re-pass
- No material change in building rules or law
- Listing data still matches reality
Common failure modes
- Landlord declines to re-attest
- Framework has moved against the property
- Operator reports inconsistency we can't reconcile
What it doesn't mean
Verified is a floor, not a guarantee.
Operators have lost money to platforms that overpromised. We'd rather underpromise and be specific. Here's exactly what a verified status does - and does not - convey.
Verified is
Verified is not
Documented verbal or written consent from the owner of record.
A guarantee you'll be approved as a tenant.
Confirmation that the building, HOA, and city framework permit the use as of the verification date.
A property inspection. We do not visit the unit.
A 15-30 day expiring stamp that re-checks every input.
A permanent status. A listing can lose verification at any point.
Operator-side only - landlords pay nothing.
A brokerage relationship. We don't represent either side at signing.
Backed by documents we can show you on request.
An endorsement of the property's potential performance.

FAQ
Verification,
Roughly 1 in 4 properties submitted clears all four steps on the first pass. The most common failure is at Step 03 - building or HOA bylaws that conflict with the landlord's attestation. About 8% of failures are at Step 03, where city frameworks have moved between submission and review.
Yes - verified operators can request the attestation document on a per-listing basis. We share the documents we hold; we do not redistribute the landlord's full personal records.
At 7 days before expiry, we begin re-verification automatically. At 12 days, the listing carries a visible 'expiring soon' marker. If the 15-30 day mark is reached without re-attestation, the listing is removed from active inventory until re-cleared.
No. Every property clears all four steps. We've turned away friends, founders' personal units, and high-yield deals that would have been excellent listings if Step 02 hadn't failed. There are no internal exceptions.
Public listing data is noisy, often stale, and reflects asking ADR rather than realized revenue. Our comps come from operators on the platform reporting actual booked revenue. The dataset is smaller; it is also accurate.
Our human verification team reviews every listing. The team scales with index size; we'd rather slow new listings than dilute the bar.
