Rental Licence Map

Whether a city requires you to license or register a rental — what it costs, how often it renews, and what happens if you skip it. Every fact is quoted from the city's own page and dated.

Cities covered (14)

This is a reference, not legal advice. City fees and rules change; confirm on the official page linked on each city before acting.

What the paid version looks like

Every page on this site is free and stays free. The paid version is for people who operate in more than one city: all of your cities in one table, and an email on the day a city changes a fee, a renewal cycle or an inspection rule.

Example — not a real change

Your cities side by side. The paid table adds fee, renewal cycle, inspection rule and penalty in the same row — the same facts you can read on the free pages, without opening fourteen of them.

Renewal dates tracked per city, so a deadline in one city is not lost behind another.

New cities added on request — if you operate somewhere not listed here, say so in the form.

All 14 official pages linked here are checked automatically every day, from servers that run whether or not anyone is at a desk, since 21 August 2026. The first snapshots were taken on 14 August 2026. Change history builds forward from those dates — it cannot be reconstructed afterwards, by us or by anyone else.

Managing rentals in more than one city?

The portfolio version covers every city you operate in, tracks renewal dates, and tells you when a city changes its fee or inspection cycle. Cities notify their own licence holders — nobody notifies you across all of them.

$149/month when it launches. Leave your email and you will be first in line — no charge until you say yes.
