The file we keep
Eleven records. One daily check. Zero surprises.
The City, the County, and the Housing Court keep separate files on your property, and any one of them can block a refinance, a sale, or your right to rent. Compliance Plus reads all of them, every day.
Rental Registration
Status and renewal date for every property, with the lapse caught the day the City's records show it.
Lead Safe Certification
The two-year clock on every pre-1978 unit, tracked separately from your registration dates.
Local Agent in Charge
Whether the City has an agent on file when your ownership structure requires one.
CARO
The Certificate Approving Rental Occupancy, the sign-off everything else feeds into.
Violation Notices
Every enforcement case the City opens, with each case's status and the City's own record linked.
Condemnation Orders
The City's most serious action, including the garage and shed orders owners never hear about.
County Tax Status
Delinquent balances, payment plans, and the County's foreclosure flag, from data updated daily.
Ownership Transfers
Every deed the County records against your parcels, on the County's own three to four month publication lag. Not a same-day alert, and worth having: most owners never check at all.
Building Permits
Every permit filed on your buildings, including ones you didn't authorize, with status through close-out.
Civil Tickets
Every $200 ticket the City issues on your parcels, tracked from first appearance through payment or appeal.
Housing Court Dockets
The court's public hearing lists, checked daily for your owner and LLC names, clearly labeled as a name match.
Same-day alerts
The email that saves the building
Watching is only worth what it catches. These are real alerts Compliance Plus sends the day the government's own records change:
A violation case opened on your property
Often the first the owner hears of it. Unanswered, it escalates toward $200 tickets the City reissues until it's fixed.
The County flagged your parcel for tax foreclosure
Caught at the flag stage, it's a call to the Treasurer and a payment plan. Caught late, it's a courtroom.
A deed was recorded against your title
Usually your own closing. The one time it isn't, same-day detection is what keeps deed fraud cheap to unwind.
A permit was filed on your building
Your contractor's paperwork, or work you never authorized. Either way, you know that day.
Your name appeared on a Housing Court docket
The court's public hearing lists, checked against your owner and LLC names, labeled plainly as a name match.

What a tracked property looks like
Every property becomes a file: all eleven records with their current status, what a lapse is blocking, and the specific next step. Example data shown; your real statuses populate the day you add a property.

Next step: renew the registration. The CARO clears on its own once the City records the renewal, and we'll confirm the day it happens.
The toolkit
Built to run your compliance, not just report it
Same-day alerts
A violation filed, a foreclosure flag, a deed or permit recorded against your property: you get the email the day our daily check sees it, with what it means and what to do.
Deadline reminders, your way
A reminder cascade from 90 days out to day-of, tuned per account: every checkpoint, just the essentials, or last call only.
Calendar sync
Subscribe Google, Apple, or Outlook to your deadline feed once, and every renewal date for every property stays current in the calendar you already look at.
Renewal season packs
Each January, a prepared checklist per property: the exact fee from your unit count, whether an HVAC certification is required, where your lead cert stands, what documents you'll need.
Compliance score
One 0 to 100 number per property computed from all eleven records, every deduction itemized, with its trend tracked daily.
Fix guidance
When something lapses, the property page tells you what it blocks and the specific next step, not just a red dot.
Document storage
Registrations, certificates, clearance reports: uploaded once, attached to the right property and requirement, ready when a lender asks.
Lender-ready compliance packet
One click renders your whole portfolio's public record, all eleven streams per property, as a clean PDF you hand to a bank or title company.
Monthly portfolio check-in
A monthly digest verifying every property against government data, so quiet months are confirmed quiet, not just silent.
Portfolio map and smart search
Your whole portfolio on one map with worst-status at a glance, and Cmd+K smart search that finds any page even if you don't know what it's called.
Bulk import
Paste your whole portfolio, see which addresses match City records before anything is billed, and start tracking in one confirmation.
On your phone
Install RentPup to your home screen and the whole dashboard works like an app, bottom navigation and all.

Priced against the risk, not the fee
A lapsed registration isn't a $70 problem. It risks a $200 civil ticket, with a $50 late penalty if it isn't paid or appealed within 30 days, and it can quietly block a refinance or sale long before anyone notices.
Compliance Plus for 5 properties, 5 units
$70/mo
$700/year if billed annually · about $2.33/day
5 × $14 covers 15 units.
Civil tickets are $200 each, plus $50 if unpaid past 30 days
4 tickets
would outspend a full year of tracking all 5 properties. The City can issue another while the violation stands.
An unresolved lapse can also quietly block a refinance or sale.

Frequently asked questions
How is Compliance Plus billed?
Per property tracked: $14 a month per property (about $0.47 a day), or $140 a year per property (two months free). That covers up to 3 units on that property, the point at which the City itself requires an added HVAC certification; each unit beyond that adds $3 a month ($30 a year). Adding a property joins it to your existing subscription immediately, and removing one ends its charge at the close of the billing period. No contracts, cancel anytime.
What happens the moment I upgrade?
Tracking starts immediately. Your properties are checked against all eleven City and County records the same day, deadlines populate, and alerts are live from the first nightly check.
Where does the data come from?
The City of Cleveland's and Cuyahoga County's own published records: rental registrations, lead certifications, enforcement cases, tax rolls, recorded transfers, permits, and the Housing Court's public dockets, checked daily. Every status on your dashboard cites the government record behind it.
Does RentPup file anything with the City for me?
Not currently. Compliance Plus is tracking, alerting, and preparation: it makes sure nothing surprises you and everything is ready when you file. You stay the filer of record.
I only own one rental. Is it worth it?
That's $14 a month against civil tickets that land $200 at a time, as often as daily, once enforcement starts, and against the refinance or sale that a quiet compliance block can stall. Most single-property owners think of it as insurance that also does the remembering.
