What Payments in Cohabit are
Payments in Cohabit allow owners to view, track, and pay their strata levies directly through the platform.
Once your apartment is connected, Cohabit can:
Show upcoming levy amounts and due dates
Track what’s been paid and what’s outstanding
Let you pay levies through saved payment methods
Keep a clear record of levy payments over time
Payments are tied to your specific apartment, not just the building as a whole.
Why use Payments in Cohabit?
Payments in Cohabit are designed to be simpler and more efficient than the typical levy process.
Traditionally, levy payments involve:
PDFs emailed by the strata manager
Manual bank transfers
Reference numbers that are easy to mistype
Little visibility once a payment is made
Cohabit brings this into one place, accessible on both mobile and desktop, so you can manage levies without juggling emails, documents, or reminders.
Less manual work, fewer errors
Cohabit reduces the need to manually enter payment details.
When you receive a levy notice, you can:
Scan or upload the levy notice, and
Have the key payment details automatically added to Cohabit
This saves time and helps avoid mistakes with reference numbers or amounts.
If needed, manual entry is still available, so you can enter details yourself.
Stay on top of due dates
Cohabit helps you keep track of levy timing and history.
You can:
Receive alerts when levies are due
See upcoming payments at a glance
Track how much you’ve paid and when those payments were made
This is especially useful if you:
Own more than one apartment
Pay levies quarterly or in instalments
Want a clear payment record for budgeting or tax purposes
When the Payments section becomes available
You’ll see the Payments section once:
You’re signed in as an Owner
You’ve connected at least one apartment
Levy information is available for your building
If you haven’t connected an apartment yet, Cohabit will guide you to do that first.

Track payment history and statuses
Some features may vary depending on how your building and strata manager operate.
