The Document Repository

Upload tips

  • Use clear file names: “Insurance_Certificate_2025.pdf” not “doc1.pdf”
  • Choose the right category so residents can find it later
  • Add tags for extra filtering, such as “AGM_2025” or “Section_20”
  • Replace outdated versions rather than adding duplicates

Resident access

Residents can view and download most documents but cannot upload, edit, or delete them. This keeps the repository clean and trustworthy.

Tips

Upload after every meeting

Minutes and agendas are most useful when available within days, not months

Store insurance renewals

Replace the old certificate immediately after renewal to avoid confusion

Link to issues

Attach inspection reports and contractor quotes to related maintenance issues

Back up critical files

Keep offline copies of leases, deeds, and insurance for safety
