Short-Term Rental Management

Managing your community’s short‑term rentals is more than simply knowing where they are. Tolemi empowers cities to move beyond basic oversight, helping tackle nuisance neighbors, unsafe STRs, unpaid taxes, and the loss of local housing stock.

Short-term Rental Identification

The first step in managing short‑term rentals is knowing where they are and the listing platforms don't want you to have this information. Tolemi combines advanced web‑scraping, machine learning, and fairly compensated U.S.‑based staff to pinpoint STR addresses in your community. Our identification rates average over 95% and unlike the competition, we're transparent about the few we can't match.

Listing Data Centralization

In addition to location data, Tolemi captures and stores key listing details such as platform, listing ID, advertised bedroom count, rates, and more. We also provide dated screenshots to verify a property was listed, even after the post is removed.

Registration and Licensing Platform

Tolemi Slate is a robust property registration and licensing platform that streamlines every step from accepting applications and scheduling inspections to automating communications and collecting payments. Hosts get an intuitive self‑service portal, while city staff gain a powerful console to efficiently manage registrations and licenses.

Automated Compliance Outreach

Knowing who's out of compliance is only half the battle. Tolemi automatically flags unregistered short‑term rentals and delivers letters, emails, and text messages until the property is registered or the listing is removed.

Tax Collection

Nobody likes paying taxes and short-term rental Hosts are no exception. Tolemi Slate simplifies the process with automated form‑filling and calculations, requiring minimal input from Hosts while delivering complete, accurate information to your treasurer for easy tax remittance.

Host Alerting

When police respond to a short‑term rental in your community, does the Host find out? With Tolemi, they will. Our platform can automatically alert Hosts via email and SMS the next morning, enabling them to address problematic guests right away.

Find Dangerous Short-term Rentals

Does your staff know which STRs have open code violations, lack a valid certificate of occupancy, or haven't paid their taxes? Tolemi checks every morning, ensuring unsafe yet licensed rentals don't slip through the cracks, reducing the risk of harm to guests and reputational damage to your community.

Host Scoring

Not all Hosts act responsibly. Tolemi can uncover problematic behavior by owners, even when hidden across multiple properties or LLCs. With Host Scoring, you can adjust inspection frequency, target enforcement, and revoke licenses from absentee or non‑compliant Hosts.

Housing Impact

In today’s housing shortage, full‑time STRs are taking valuable units out of your local housing supply. Tolemi's deep analytics and expert data scientists help you measure their impact, giving elected officials the insight they need to craft policies that protect both Hosts and residents.

Case Studies

Tolemi’s integration streamlines communication and breaks down information silos. This more connected workflow enables Buffalo to operate their Clean Sweep Initiative efforts using data, enabling more time spent on helping citizens that need it most.

Leaders in Brockton and Lawrence recognize that these problem properties contribute to blight, attract crime, create unsafe housing conditions, and drain municipal resources. In response, each city established a cross-departmental team to tackle the worst offenders.

This 40,000-person city introduced a Rental Property Licensing Program in 2003 “to promote safety, health, and habitability in rental housing. They partnered with Tolemi to create a systematic way to flag non-compliant properties—without burdening staff with hours of research resulting in greater compliance with less staff hours than before.
