FOR SELF-MANAGED CONDOS, 2–6 UNITS · MASSACHUSETTS FIRST
Civil Livin is the shared home for our building's minutes, calendar, money, and governing documents — kept by neighbors, cited from our own pages, ready long before anything goes wrong.
ONE SHARED RECORD, FIVE MODULES: DOCUMENTS · MINUTES · CALENDAR · MONEY · ISSUE PACKET
THE EVERYDAY
Things neighbors actually say — and what a shared record does about them.
"We have no meeting minutes."
Decisions logged once — dated, searchable, agreed by every unit. No more “I thought we said…”
"Who's shoveling this year?"
A shared rota for snow, grass, and gutters — who does what, when, visibly.
"We keep meaning to review the master insurance."
Gentle annual nudges for the reviews that slip every year.
"What did we agree about shared expenses?"
Money in the open: shared costs, reserves, and who owes what — visible to every unit.
"Is that actually in the Master Deed?"
Ask your documents, get a page-cited answer — [Master Deed · p. 12] — or an honest “not in your documents.”
Kept well in good times,
ready if times turn.
WHEN IT GOES WRONG
You need your rights honored and your damages made whole — and you can't afford a retainer to do it. The records you've been keeping become your case file.
LOG
Incidents become a dated chronology instead of a midnight spiral — much of it already in the building's shared record.
CITE
Every material claim resolves to Master Deed · p. 12 — or it isn't said.
DRAFT
A firm, polite draft you edit and send yourself — an approach from a friendly place, not an accusation.
"If we can't cite it, we won't say it."
Most software would rather sound fluent than be right. Civil Livin refuses to invent rights, deadlines, or blame — and shows you what almost matched instead. Try it →
"Are quiet hours actually in our rules?"
Yes — quiet hours run 10 p.m.–7 a.m.: "Owners shall avoid excessive noise between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m."
WHAT WE NEVER DO
These aren't fine print. They're why you can trust what the tool does say.
MASSACHUSETTS FIRST
Civil Livin begins with small, self-managed Massachusetts condominiums — the two-, three-, and six-unit buildings that big management software forgot. Not apologetically: getting one state's documents right beats being vague in fifty.
