Heck. Let people submit tips with proof, and split the fines with the reporters.

Then the short-term renters own customers will report the rental when they're done. And then get money. Crowdsource the snitching

Not the US, but my city actually started a snitch e-mail address.

Stuff like airbnb now need a permission, and if you suspect an address has an unlicenced one, you can ask them and they will actually tell you if it's an allowed listing.

Reported two of them, one was allowed, another one "will be checked". Not sure what happened to the latter

Believe it or not, jail.
