Who this article is for

  • Owners who have connected an apartment in Cohabit

  • Owners who want to update their apartment’s details

  • Owners managing multiple apartments across buildings

You’ll need to have connected an apartment before you can manage its details.


What “apartment details” means in Cohabit

Apartment details are the only pieces of information owners can personally edit in Cohabit.

These details relate to your specific apartment (lot) — not the building as a whole.

They help Cohabit:

  • Show building information in the right ownership context

  • Personalise notifications and communications

  • Support future features (such as payments and owner services)

They do not change building records, Health Scores, or Expert Insights.


Where apartment details live

When you click on an apartment card, Cohabit opens the Building Profile for that building.

Inside the Building Profile, owners see an additional tab called My Apartments.

This tab is:

  • Only visible to owners

  • Where all apartment-level details are managed


Opening your apartment details

  1. Go to Apartments

  2. Click an apartment card

  3. In the Building Profile, open the My Apartments tab

You’ll see the apartment(s) you’re connected to in that building.


What you can update in My Apartments

From the My Apartments tab, you can view and edit details for your apartment, including:

Apartment basics

  • Apartment number

  • Occupancy status (owner-occupied or rented)

Tenancy information (if applicable)

  • Tenant name and contact details

  • Lease start and end dates

Property management details

  • Managing agency

  • Property manager contact details

Communication preferences

  • How you receive levy notices

  • How you receive building-related communications

These settings apply only to your apartment.


Editing apartment details

To make changes:

  1. Open the My Apartments tab

  2. Select the apartment you want to update

  3. Click the Edit icon

  4. Update the relevant fields and save

Changes take effect immediately.


How this relates to building information

While you’re in the Building Profile, you’ll also see building-level tabs such as:

  • Overview

  • Building Snapshot

  • Expert Insights (where available)

These tabs always show building-wide information:

  • Health Scores apply to the entire building

  • Expert Insights are written for the building

  • Financials, compliance and works are building-level

Apartment details simply tell Cohabit which lot you own — they don’t alter the building data itself.


Managing multiple apartments

If you own more than one apartment:

  • Each apartment appears separately under My Apartments

  • You can switch between apartments within the same building profile

  • All apartments share the same building-level data


What you can’t change here

From My Apartments, owners cannot:

  • Edit building records

  • Change Health Scores

  • Modify Expert Insights

If something at building level looks incorrect, see:
