Landlord or association — which are you?
The one setup question that changes the whole product, and how to tell which side you are on.
Villagely is two products sharing a foundation. Which you see is decided by the answer you give at signup, and it is not a cosmetic difference — whole sections of the software appear or do not exist for you.
You are a landlord if
- You own or manage rental property and collect rent.
- You sign leases with tenants.
- You advertise vacancies and take applications.
- You might manage on behalf of owners and pay them out.
You are an association if
- You represent a homeowners association, condominium or similar body.
- You collect dues from members rather than rent from tenants.
- You hold votes and board meetings.
- You record violations and issue fines.
What you will not see
A landlord never sees violations, board votes or amenity reservations. An association never sees rent, leases, listings or owner statements. These are absent rather than locked — you are not paying to leave somebody else's module switched off.
