Rent's going to be late again this month, sorry.

“I own eight apartments between North Adams and Lynn. After getting burned by tenants, I built and use Goodstander to keep it from happening again.”

Maintenance

The 6 AM call that never happens.

  • Reported repairs hit your board instantly — troubleshooting never delays them
  • The AI walks your tenant through safe, two-minute checks, with photos where they help
  • When a check fixes it, the ticket closes itself as resolved — what they tried is on the record
  • When it doesn't, you get a plain-English brief: what was ruled out, what to bring

Emergencies skip the checklist entirely — a no-heat report goes straight through. No tenant ever works through steps before you hear about a habitability issue.

Leases, case record summaries, and notices — built from your records, in the strongest position Massachusetts law allows.

A Massachusetts lease written to protect you as far as the law allows — a lease that breaks the rules can't be enforced.

  • On-time rent reported to the credit bureaus
  • Compliant security-deposit terms
  • Tenant pays and reaches you through Goodstander
  • Rules, insurance, move-out, and notice terms
  • Download, sign, and store in one place

Pricing

Costs less than one bad day in Housing Court.

The Massachusetts record — leases, e-signatures, messaging, rent, any number of units — is free. Free for your tenants too: no application charges, no payment surcharges, no junk fees in the tenant portal. The §15B deposit autopilot and AI compliance layer are $4.99 per unit per month — priced against the $5,000–$25,000 lost case and the treble-damages deposit mistake, not against other software. That's the whole page.
