Why use a digital solution for common rules?

Many housing associations struggle with their common rules being scattered across emails, paper archives, or old meeting minutes. When the rules are not stored in one place, it can cause confusion among residents. A digital solution ensures that everyone always has access to the latest guidelines—whether via the association’s website or the internal resident portal.

Rules for pets

Pets are a debated topic in many housing associations. With common rules, the board can ensure that all residents understand the guidelines for pet ownership. The rules can specify whether dogs or cats are allowed, any breed restrictions, and owner responsibilities—such as keeping dogs on a leash in common areas.

Rules for using common areas

Common areas are a valuable asset for housing associations but require clear guidelines to prevent misuse. Rules can clarify how green spaces, playgrounds, and shared seating areas should be used. Do residents need to book areas in advance? Are events allowed? How do you ensure that everyone cleans up after themselves?

Rules for noise

To ensure a pleasant living environment for everyone, there should be clear rules for noise levels. The rules may specify quiet hours and what residents should do if they experience repeated noise disturbances from neighbors. Additionally, the board can outline policies on parties and playing music to promote community well-being.
