The real challenge: convincing the others, not yourself

In almost every volunteer board, one person sees the value of a modern tool and runs into the rest of the board: "we have always done it this way", "it is one more cost", "our residents will not follow". The problem is never technical, it is human.

This page gives you exactly what you need for that conversation: arguments in the right order, verifiable numbers, and short answers to the objections you will hear. The PDF sums it all up for your next meeting.

The 5 arguments, in the order that works

1

A transparent per-unit cost

$2.99 per unit per month, publicly listed, no custom quote or hidden tier. A board can vote a budget knowing the exact figure down to the unit.

2

Account-free voting for reluctant residents

Residents vote and consult through a simple link, without creating an account. That is what unblocks associations where 'people will not follow'.

3

Act 16 compliance included

The maintenance log and its PDF export are built in, ready for the Quebec deadline. An argument of responsibility, not just convenience.

4

Your data in Canada

100% Canadian hosting and operations, compliant with Law 25 by default. A point that reassures the board on sovereignty and co-owner privacy.

5

A trial with no commitment or card

One free month, no credit card, cancel anytime. The board can test on its real data before committing to anything.

What it really costs

The status quo (emails and Excel files) shows $0, but its real cost is volunteer hours and the risk of losing the association's history.

Association size Kohabit ($2.99 / unit / month) Emails + Excel
6 units $215.28 / year $0 + volunteer hours
12 units $430.56 / year $0 + volunteer hours
24 units $861.12 / year $0 + volunteer hours

The 6 objections you will hear

"Our residents are not tech-savvy."
That is actually the strongest argument for Kohabit: voting and consultation happen without creating an account, through a simple link. A resident who can open an email can vote. Nothing to install, nothing to remember.
"We manage fine with emails and an Excel file."
It works as long as the same person handles it. The day they leave, the history leaves with them. Kohabit keeps everything in one place, accessible to the next board: insurance against the association losing its memory.
"It is one more cost for the association."
$2.99 per unit per month, less than a coffee per unit. Compare that to the volunteer hours saved and the risk of a poorly anticipated special assessment for lack of an up-to-date maintenance log.
"We do not have time to migrate to a new tool."
The trial is free for a month, no card required, and setup takes about thirty minutes with a pre-filled demo. You test on your real data before deciding anything.
"Will our data be secure?"
Everything is hosted and operated in Canada, under Canadian jurisdiction, compliant with Law 25 by default. Your data stays exportable at any time in open formats: no lock-in.
"What if the tool is not right for us?"
No commitment, cancel anytime, and you leave with your data. The PDF kit below answers the board's questions before the trial even starts, so you decide with full information.
