Providing or correcting building information on mobile

You can submit updates, corrections, or missing documents directly through the Cohabit mobile app.


Step 1 — Open your building profile

Navigate to the building where the information needs to be updated or corrected.


Step 2 — Open the building options menu

Tap the three dots (⋯) in the top corner of the screen.


Step 3 — Select “Something’s not right”

This opens a form where you can explain what needs attention.


Step 4 — Describe the issue or update clearly

Use this field to explain what should be updated. For example:

  • Incorrect compliance or renewal dates

  • Missing documents

  • Incorrect insurance details

  • Out-of-date valuations

  • Incorrect building information

  • Incorrect ownership or lot association

The clearer your explanation, the easier it is for Cohabit to review and action.


Step 5 — Attach supporting evidence (recommended)

You can upload files such as:

  • Compliance certificates

  • Insurance schedules

  • Valuations

  • Meeting minutes

  • Photos or PDFs

Providing supporting documents helps Cohabit verify and apply updates more quickly.


Step 6 — Choose whether to receive update notifications

Toggle “Notify me when this is updated” if you’d like to be notified once your request has been reviewed and applied.


Step 7 — Submit your request

Your request is sent to Cohabit Admin for review.


Providing building information from desktop

The “Something’s not right” feature is currently available on mobile only.

If you’re using desktop, you can provide updates by contacting Cohabit Support.

When reaching out, please include:

How Cohabit verifies and updates building data

To keep building information accurate and secure, all updates are reviewed by Cohabit Admin.


1. Ownership and access verification

Before making changes, Cohabit confirms that:

  • You’re connected to the building via a Lot Connection Request, and

  • You’re authorised to provide building information

This helps ensure records remain reliable for all owners and buyers.


2. Evidence review

Cohabit may review or request supporting documents such as:

  • Updated insurance certificates

  • Compliance documents (e.g. fire or lift certificates)

  • Valuations

  • Meeting minutes or resolutions

  • Proof of ownership (if relevant)


3. Updating the building profile

Once verified, Cohabit Admin may:

  • Update official building information

  • Add or replace documents

  • Correct compliance or insurance data

  • Adjust building details

  • Add notes for future reference


4. Notification (if selected)

If you opted in to notifications, you’ll be notified once the update is complete.


FAQs

Can I update building information myself?
No. To maintain accuracy and integrity, building data is updated by Cohabit Admin after verification.

Why can’t I update building information on desktop?
The reporting feature is currently mobile-only. Desktop users can contact Support.

Do I need to be a verified owner to provide updates?
Yes. Cohabit must confirm your ownership or authorised access before applying changes.

What if I’m not connected to my lot yet?
You’ll need to complete a Lot Connection Request first. Updates can’t be made until ownership is verified.

Do I need to upload evidence?
It’s strongly recommended. Requests without supporting documents may be delayed or unable to be completed.
