Your challenges by role

Three roles. One platform.

Every role in a condo board has its own challenges. Here is what Kohabit actually changes for each one.

You were elected president or treasurer. You have a real job on the side.

Without Kohabit
  • · Three evenings a month chasing approvals by email
  • · Excel sheets sent as attachments, never up to date
  • · Stress before every AGM: where are last year's minutes again?
  • · Bill 16 and Law 25: no idea where to start
With Kohabit
  • One-click approvals with automatic audit trail
  • Budget and shares calculated in real time for everyone
  • All AGMs, minutes and votes archived and findable in 5 seconds
  • Bill 16 maintenance log and Law 25 file provided by default

General meeting

The general meeting, from the notice of call to the minutes

The general meeting is where your co-ownership actually decides, and where the smallest procedural slip is expensive. Kohabit holds the thread: notice within the legal deadline, advance voting, the meeting run item by item, minutes delivered to everyone.

  • Notice of call sent within the Civil Code deadline, with delivery tracking
  • Advance voting opened before the meeting, for those who will not attend
  • Proxies recorded, along with the fractions each proxy holder carries
  • Quorum and majorities recomputed on every arrival, every departure, every vote
  • A room console for those who vote by show of hands, with no phone and no account
  • A wall screen for the room, and a remote view for those following from home
  • Minutes pre-drafted from what actually happened, then archived

Governance

Official votes, without mandatory meetings

Create ballots in a few clicks, single choice, yes/no/abstain, or multiple choice. Share weighting and quorum are calculated automatically.

  • Ballots with configurable quorum (e.g. 50%, 60%)
  • Automatic weighting by shares
  • Real-time results with visible participation
  • Full history of archived votes
  • Email notification to all residents on publication
  • Vote directly by email, no account required

Community

Involve residents in decisions

The idea box lets every resident suggest improvements, vote, and track progress. Top ideas can be converted to an official ballot. Involving residents early defuses opposition on the day of the official vote.

  • Idea submission open to all residents
  • Vote for/against with visible score
  • Statuses: draft, published, in progress, completed, rejected
  • Convert an idea to official vote in one click

Communication

Keep everyone informed, simply

Post announcements with priority levels and choose your audience, all residents or board representatives only.

  • Visual priorities: normal, high, urgent
  • Read tracking per announcement
  • Discussion thread on each announcement
  • Email delivery based on each resident's preferences
  • Archived announcement feed
  • Attach documents from the library directly to an announcement
  • Announcements delivered by email, even without an active account

Messaging

A direct channel between residents and the board

No more lost emails. Residents contact the board directly from the platform, and the team communicates internally in one place.

  • Direct resident ↔ board conversations, private and traceable
  • The board can initiate a conversation with any resident
  • Internal messaging between board team members
  • Full history of exchanges, accessible at any time
  • Email notifications for every new message

Agenda & events

Every date in one place

Create events, collect attendance, and keep the full picture: events, votes, meetings, contribution-call deadlines, and Law 16 maintenance all appear in one unified calendar.

  • Events (AGMs, meetings, activities) with attendance tracking (RSVP)
  • Your co-owners confirm attendance by email, without creating an account
  • Unified calendar: events, votes, AGMs, deadlines, and maintenance in one place
  • Month navigation and chronological agenda view
  • Calendar subscription (iCal export) to sync with your own

Budget & finances

Clear financial management for everyone

Plan your annual budget, calculate charges by ownership shares, and generate contribution calls automatically. Co-owners get a transparent view of their association's finances. No more spreadsheets or allocation errors: every contribution call is justifiable down to the share.

  • Annual budget by expense categories
  • Charges calculated automatically by ownership share
  • Periodic contribution calls generated in one click
  • Payment tracking and balances per co-owner
  • Downloadable payment receipts
  • Financial dashboard for board members

Maintenance

Handle issues before they get worse

Residents report an issue directly from the app. The board assigns, tracks and resolves, with comment thread and photo attachments. Every issue's history stays available, even several boards later: nothing gets lost between mandates.

  • Categories: plumbing, electrical, HVAC, elevator, security…
  • Statuses: open, in progress, pending, resolved
  • Assignment to board members
  • Attachments (photos) and comment thread
  • Automatic reopening if resident replies

Maintenance log

The complete history of your building

Record every intervention with date, vendor and notes. Compliant with Quebec's Bill 16 requirements. The log fills up as you go rather than in a panic before the deadline: every intervention documented today is proof of compliance ready for tomorrow.

  • Chronological history per component
  • Linked to your vendor directory
  • One-click register export
  • Bill 16 compliant, mandatory maintenance log in Quebec

Everything about the Bill 16 maintenance log

Your trusted vendors, always at hand

Documents

All your documents, in one place

Centralize bylaws, meeting minutes, contracts and financial reports in a secure space, organized by folder. No more attachments lost in email threads: everything is one click away, filed by folder.

  • Folders by category: legal, finances, meetings, technical
  • Visibility configurable by role (board, owner)
  • Documents linked directly to an announcement from the library
  • Traceability: audit log and 30-day recovery
  • Search and filters by category and year

Frequently asked questions

Does Kohabit replace a professional condo manager?
Kohabit is built for self-managed boards, without a manager. It replaces the mess of emails, spreadsheets and paper binders with a single tool: announcements, votes, finances, maintenance and documents in one place. If you have a manager, Kohabit saves them time; if you don't, it makes self-management sustainable.
Do I need technical skills to use it?
No. Kohabit is designed for volunteer administrators, not IT specialists. If you can send an email, you can post an announcement, launch a vote or generate a contribution call. Every screen gets straight to the point, with no unnecessary settings.
Can I hold a general meeting with Kohabit?
Yes, end to end. You send the notice of call within the Civil Code deadline, open advance voting, then run the meeting item by item: quorum, proxies, majorities and results are recomputed as you go. At the end, the minutes are pre-drafted from what actually happened, delivered to every co-owner, and archived alongside the notice of call. Anyone without a phone or an account votes through the room console, operated by the secretary.
How does Kohabit help with Bill 16 compliance?
The maintenance log centralizes your components (roof, elevators, fire alarm, etc.), their recurring tasks and the intervention record. In one click, you export the register as a PDF, ready for the Bill 16 deadline. No more rebuilding history at the last minute.
Do co-owners have access to the platform?
Yes. Every co-owner gets access with a transparent view of announcements, votes, their charges and official documents. This transparency reduces tension and repeated questions to the board.
Can we migrate from a spreadsheet or another tool?
Yes. You can start with your existing data (units, ownership shares, budget) and import your documents. Your data stays exportable at any time in open formats: no lock-in.
Is Kohabit suitable for a small condo?
Yes, and that's where it makes the biggest difference. A small condo has neither a manager nor a budget for enterprise software: Kohabit gives it the same tools as a large board, at a price designed for volunteers.
