Listings, QR codes, applications, and showings

A vacancy is a workflow, not a stack of paper: list it, share it, collect applications, tour, approve, convert.

Public listings

Units flagged as listed appear on your shareable public listings page — type, beds/baths, rent, description — behind a tokened link you control, with an Apply button on every unit.

QR codes

Stonerow generates QR codes for your listings page and application form in-app — print them on yard signs and flyers, and the phone camera does the rest.

Online applications

Applicants complete a public intake form; submissions land in your review queue with statuses, application fees, and holding deposits recorded. Approve and convert to a tenant in one click — no re-typing.

Showings and screening

Schedule prospect tours by unit, date, and status. On Standard and Pro, the screening workflow adds configurable screening providers, co-applicants and guarantors, custom application questions, reusable applicant profiles, and applicant messaging; Pro adds income verification, fraud scan, and application analytics.

Fair-housing language in your ads

Advertising copy is where a small landlord most often creates a problem that costs more than the vacancy did. Stonerow runs an advisory check over listing text and flags phrases that draw complaints — including “no Section 8,” because source of income is a protected class in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. The check advises; it never rewrites your listing for you. Every listing also carries the equal-housing statement.

Common questions

Do applicants need an account to apply?

No. The application form is a public link — the applicant opens it, fills it in, and submits. No signup, no password, no app to download. The submission lands in your review queue straight away, which is the difference between a prospect who applies from the sidewalk and one who means to apply later.

Can I collect an application fee or a holding deposit?

Yes. Both are recorded on the application review screen with paid flags, so what you collected, from whom, and when is on the record before the tenancy exists rather than reconstructed afterwards.

What happens to applications I turn down?

They stay in the queue with their status and date. That dated record of who applied and what was decided is exactly the documentation a fair-housing complaint turns on, and it is worth more than the file space it costs.

Can I stop sharing a listings link?

Yes. The listings page, the application form, tenant statements, and signing links are all unguessable tokened URLs, and every one is revocable. Rotate the token and the old link stops resolving — useful when a flyer goes further than you meant it to.
