# Rental registration, short-term licensing, and building-enforcement records

`POST /api/locus_rental_registration_check`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.locus.report`
- URL: `https://api.locus.report/api/locus_rental_registration_check`
- Auth: none required

Exact-building registration, short-term license, or enforcement rows. Coverage: Denver, Kansas City, Minneapolis, Montgomery County, New York City, and Seattle. Scope varies by city; returns status, dates, ids, citations, and source limits without owner or contact data. No-match is dataset-bound, not a compliance decision.
Use this when you can call Locus free tools (REST tools/call or MCP).
Use locus-rental-registration-check instead when your client can only call paid x402 routes; it returns the same records. Direct flat-body route for this one free resource; no API key, payment, or catalog wrapper. Return only the cited bounded evidence described here; this route never produces a paid brief or full report.

## Request body
