Who It's For · Unit Owners

Know where your unit stands. Prove you fixed it.

No more wondering what the letter meant, whether the office got your plumber's invoice, or when your unit was last inspected. Your unit's whole story, in one place, from anywhere.

Sound familiar?

“Action required” — but you're 1,200 miles away

A letter says your unit needs something fixed. You're at your other home for the season, the office is closed by 5, and you're not sure exactly what was found.

You fixed it — can you prove it?

The plumber came, the valve was replaced, the invoice went… somewhere. Months later the unit still shows as outstanding because the paperwork never landed.

Every question is a phone call

When was my last inspection? How old is my water heater? Where's the current budget? Today, each of those means calling the office and hoping.

What changes

Your unit, self-service

  • See your unit's status, its inspection history, and exactly which repair items are open — with what was found, in plain words
  • Upload proof of a repair straight from your phone's camera. Your unit moves to Pending Review on its own, and becomes Compliant once management approves every item
  • If a submission is rejected, you see the reason and simply resubmit — no phone tag
  • Your unit's equipment panel: water heater age, valve and PRV replacement dates, so “how old is it?” has an answer
  • The documents your association shares — bylaws, budgets, minutes — searchable without calling the office
The owner portal for a demo unit: open repair items with Upload proof buttons, inspection history, repair progress, and the plumbing guide Demo data
Also yours

The binder your unit never had

Every unit accumulates facts nobody writes down: the filter size, the water-heater model, the breaker that trips, the appliance guy who actually shows up. My Home Manual is where those live — private to your household, on your phone, and ready the moment a vendor is standing in your unit asking for a model number.

  • Appliances and equipment with make, model, serial number, install date and a photo of the rating plate — plus a link to the manufacturer’s manual, so you find it once and never again
  • Filters and batteries recorded by spec — “16x25x1 MERV 11”, where it goes, when you last changed it — with the next change worked out for you. It’s waiting when you open the page; nothing emails you about a filter
  • Your own checklists, notes and trusted trades: the housekeeping instructions, the homewatch walk-through, the number of the appliance tech you actually call
  • Hand a vendor a one-page PDF of just their trade. You see exactly what’s on it before it exists — and your private notes, and every other vendor’s number, are not on it
  • Your association’s own records for your unit — water heater, valves — sit alongside yours for reference, read-only. Nothing you write changes the association’s copy
  • Own a cabana, a garage or a parking space too? Each keeps its own records in its own section of the same page, so the plumber coming to the cabana gets the cabana’s sheet and nothing else

Three things owners ask about it

Can management read it?

Only if you let them. No HelmHOA screen shows your home manual to anyone but you and your unit’s co-owners — unless you turn on sharing, which you control and can switch off at any time. Not your manager, not your board, not the front desk, not inspectors.

A share you do turn on lasts an hour, a day, or up to a week and ends by itself — and while it’s on, you can see every time it was opened and everything that was changed.

What happens when I sell?

Your appliance list stays with the unit. That’s deliberate — makes, models, serial numbers and filter sizes are genuinely useful to whoever lives there next, and leaving them costs you nothing.

Your checklists, notes and vendor contacts are personal, so they don’t. Tap Clear my notes before you go and they’re deleted, appliance list untouched — or leave them for the buyer if you’d rather.

What does it cost?

Nothing extra. My Home Manual isn’t a module and isn’t an upsell — every owner at every association on HelmHOA has it, on every tier, from the day their association starts.

Like the rest of the portal, it runs in any browser and can be added to your phone’s home screen — which is where you want it when you’re photographing a rating plate.

The Condo Owner Plumbing Guide

Free, no login

What every condo owner should know about their unit's plumbing — shut-off valves, PRVs, water heaters, and the small parts that cause big water damage. Read the guide →

Inside your portal too

The same guide is linked from your unit dashboard, right next to the equipment it explains — so it's there when the inspector's finding mentions a part you've never heard of.

What powers the owner portal

Owners never pay to log in — your account comes with your association's subscription.

UnitCheck

Every tier

Mobile unit inspections, repair-proof workflow, equipment lifecycle.

RecordCheck

Every tier

The "Website Law" portal — statutory document library with completeness meter.

Fla. Stat. § 718.111(12)(g)

My Home Manual

Every tier

Your unit’s private binder — appliances, model numbers, filter sizes, service dates, your own checklists and trusted trades. Private to your household unless you turn on sharing.

Rather not type it all in? Connect your account to Claude, Anthropic's AI assistant, and tell it what's in the unit — it writes the entries, and each one waits for your one-tap approval. ChatGPT and Gemini are on the way.

“Another portal to log into?”

Almost never. HelmHOA reaches you by email for the things that matter — a new repair item, an approval, a reminder — so you only sign in when there's something to do. When you do, there's no new password to invent: sign in with Google, or with a one-tap email link.

And there's nothing to install unless you want to. The portal runs in any browser, and on your phone it can be added to your home screen and used like an app.
