FAQs

Can Landlord Studio manage an HOA?

Plus Icon

Yes, for small self-managed associations. Set up the community as one property and each home as a unit, then collect dues, track expenses and keep records in one account.

Can homeowners pay HOA dues online?

Plus Icon

Yes. Owners can pay online by bank transfer or card, and on Pro, automated email reminders go out before dues are due. Each payment is recorded against the right home.

Does Landlord Studio handle voting, violations or architectural requests?

Plus Icon

No. Landlord Studio covers dues, expenses, documents and maintenance. If your association needs online voting, violation tracking or architectural review workflows, dedicated HOA software may be a better fit.

How is an HOA priced?

Plus Icon

Set up each home as its own property or unit. The free Go plan covers up to 3 units and 1 user. Bank feeds, automated email rent and lease expiry reminders and Schedule E reports are on Pro.

Should I use Landlord Studio or HOA management software?

Plus Icon
If you run a small, self-managed association and mainly need to collect dues and keep clean books, Landlord Studio covers that without per-door minimums. If you manage a large community with a management company, dedicated HOA software may be a better fit.

What is an HOA?

Plus Icon

An HOA (homeowners association) is the organization that runs a planned community, condo or townhome development. It sets and enforces the community's rules and collects dues from each homeowner to pay for shared costs like common-area maintenance, insurance and reserves. Smaller HOAs are often self-managed by a volunteer board of homeowners rather than a management company.
