HOA maintenance requests, reported once and tracked to done

The short answer: Rebel HOA is an HOA maintenance request and work order system. Residents report a repair from their phone with photos and how urgent it is, the board assigns a vendor and schedules the work, and the resident is told when it is scheduled, who is handling it, and when it is done.

From the report to the repair, in three steps

1. The resident reports it. From the app, with photos, a category and how urgent it is.
2. The board assigns it. A vendor from the community’s own list and a date for the work, set on the request itself.
3. Everyone knows where it stands. The resident is told when the work is scheduled, which vendor has it, and when it is complete.

The requests are organized. The spending is the board’s.

• Which vendor does the work.
• What gets fixed first.
• Whether a repair is the association’s to make.

Repairs sit in one inbox beside architectural requests and residents’ notes to the board, so nothing waits in a volunteer’s personal email.

Six things nobody has to chase

• Photos from the start. The resident attaches pictures when they report it, so the board sees the problem before anyone drives over.
• How urgent, at a glance. Each request carries its priority, and the board can change it.
• Your own vendors. Assign the work to a vendor from the community’s list.
• Overdue work flagged. A date for every job, and a flag when that date passes before the repair is resolved.
• The resident kept informed. Scheduled, vendor assigned, complete: each step reaches the resident without anyone writing an email.
• One inbox for every request. Repairs, architectural requests and residents’ notes to the board, together, so nothing is lost between them.

Questions boards ask

What is an HOA maintenance request system?

One place for residents to report repairs and for the board to assign, schedule and close them as work orders, with the resident kept informed. Rebel HOA runs it from the resident’s phone to the board’s inbox.

Who is responsible for repairs, the HOA or the homeowner?

Your governing documents decide. Most make the association responsible for the common areas and each owner responsible for their own home and lot.

Can residents attach photos and follow the status?

Yes. Photos go with the request, and the resident is told when the work is scheduled, when a vendor is assigned and when it is complete.

Can renters report maintenance?

Yes. Renters can report repairs, even though they do not see the owners’ dues or violations.
