Why Stonerow
Named after the most honest structure in New England.
A stone wall doesn't hide anything. Every piece is visible, every piece carries weight, and it stands for a century without a contract, a lock-in clause, or a surprise fee. That's the standard we build property management software to — for the independent landlords of Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts.
The problem
The industry treats small landlords as an afterthought
If you own six units in New Britain or a three-decker in Worcester, the property management software market has two answers for you, and both are wrong. The enterprise platforms lock you out with unit minimums and monthly floors built for 200-unit portfolios. The "landlord apps" get you in free, then nickel-and-dime the essentials: a fee per e-signature, a fee per bank account, a paid tier to unlock the compliance feature that keeps you out of housing court.
And none of them — not one — knows that Connecticut caps deposits at two months while Massachusetts caps them at one, that CT publishes a deposit-interest index every year, or that an MA late fee before day 30 is illegal. In three states where deposit mistakes carry double and treble damages, national software leaves the law to your memory.
Stonerow PM is the answer we wanted to exist: one system, purpose-built for CT, RI, and MA, priced flat, with the legal guardrails in the software itself.
Our commitments
Product commitments, not marketing lines
Compliance is never paywalled.
Deposit-cap enforcement, deposit-interest accrual, statutory late-fee limits, compliance notices, the ledger, and the audit log are free on every plan — permanently. Locking a landlord out of their own legal toolkit is a liability, not a business model.
No unit minimums. No monthly floors.
Every plan — including free Core — has unlimited properties, units, tenants, and leases. The six-unit owner is our customer, not our rounding error.
No nickel-and-diming.
No setup fees. No per-bank-account fees. No per-document e-signature charges. No module you didn't enable ever appears on a bill.
Commitment is a discount, never a trap.
Paid plans run on a 12-month plan because predictability prices lower — and the early-exit rule (remaining balance due) is printed on the pricing page, not buried in fine print. A month-to-month Flexible option always exists, and downgrading to Core removes conveniences — never your records, your ledger, or your compliance tools.
No rent-setting algorithms. By design.
We never pool one owner's data with another's, and we never generate cross-landlord rent recommendations. Your building, your rent, your call.
Legal data is append-only.
Ledgers, deposits, and leases are never hard-deleted, corrections happen as visible reversing entries, and the audit log is always on. Court-ready isn't a feature tier — it's the architecture.
Local by design
Software that knows a three-decker from a tower block
Stonerow is built for the housing stock New England landlords actually own: the triple-decker with three leases and one boiler, the two-family with the owner downstairs, the rear cottage on the same lot. Roommates and co-tenants are first-class residents, not edge cases. Deposit rules follow the property's state. The ledger prints clean for the local housing court.
That focus is the moat. A national platform can't justify learning three small states this deeply. We can't justify anything less — it's the whole point.
And the moat travels. The compliance engine is modular — state rules are packs, not hard-coding — so landlords outside Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts aren't turned away: your state's requirements are scoped and enabled as part of onboarding. The name isn't a fence around New England; it's a standard — strength, rigidity, loyalty — that works anywhere buildings do.
Judge it the way you'd judge a wall.
Look at what it's built from, and whether it holds. Free Core plan, 30 days of Pro on every new organization, and your records stay yours.
