How does that make sense? They do have their own lot type now, why wouldn't we want to upload them as rentals..?

They are residential as much as apartments are. You just pay differently for them.

If I download a rental lot from the gallery marked as residential, won't I have to turn them into rental lots myself? Or will they magically pop up as rentals? And isn't it a little unintuitive if we can't even look for rentals specifically, since I myself decorate rentals in a different way than I decorate homes, and I assume others do too?

Yes, you need to change the lot type to rental. I don't know about decorating, rentals are houses you rent for living, why would they be decorated differently? You don't get any different functionality from them. I make mine very basic, like hotel rooms, so they fit with any sim that rents the place.

Not all houses on the gallery are basic. Some have kids' rooms with tons of toys, and that's not what you usually see in a rental house. Sometimes residential homes just have more character, they can be done with a specific family in mind (that's what I usually do too).
And even if a house is basic, for example, 4 bedroom house on the gallery usually means 2-3 kids bedrooms. Residential homes are more family-oriented, and what I would expect from a rental property is more generic bedrooms, maybe even with double beds only.

Well, if you like the house enough to add it to your game, then it should not be a problem to change it's lot type. The only thing that matters is the number of people it can accommodate, but even so, Graham showed in the live stream that you can rent additional beds and other stuff from the mail box.

Sure it's not a big problem, but it would be nice to easily find houses that people have designed as rentals.
Hashtags are useful, but some builders just don't use them.

Like I said before, they are houses, there's nothing to make them special as rentals other than the rental price. Their most important feature is the number of beds and bathrooms. I would think it would be a good idea to have a separate rental lot type in the gallery if you want to search by rental cost. I imagine some mansions would be very expensive to rent.

Well, it depends on how you gonna use them. For me, they are quite different. For example, I would like to rent a house for a wedding/a fancy party. So there's should be a wedding arch, a reception area, some places for entertainment, etc. Some stuff you don't usually find in a common residential home. Maybe in a mansion with ten bedrooms.
I'm going to build something like this myself, anyway, because it's a very specific lot, but tagging it as “residential” on the gallery would feel strange.
Why can't we just have the lot type.

Because some like options even though I see what you saying but some just like the option of DLing an lot already with the lot type designated with rental and not going in and change the type. I do not see no problem with lots having an residential or rental designation. Lots before DLing can be designated as rental or residential as you can choose between unfurnished and furnished currently. Options in most of the cases in this game are best.

As far as I know you can only elope while on vacation so there will be no fancy wedding.

I'm not arguing against it, just trying to understand why it's difficult to change the lot type.

You absolutely are but that's beside the point.

Look if I'm looking for, say, 10 rentals for Newcrest, I'd like to a) be able to search for lots people have built as rentals, not homes (and yes, sorry, most rentals don't look like actual homes), b) not have to go into 10 different builds just to change the lot type when that lot type already exists.

To me this looks more like an oversight than a feature (??) but it's cool, oversights happen. It'd just be neat if they could fix/add it. Again, you might not give two cents but it would make my life easier without impacting yours. And I'm sure I'm not the only one that thinks so.
