When to Use Society Community Marketplace
When to use community marketplace
Use the marketplace when residents want to trade or hire within the society not for official committee notices or open events where the whole community is invited.
Move-in and move-out sales
Residents leaving post sell listings for furniture, appliances, and modular kitchen fittings; newcomers browse buy without scrolling six months of WhatsApp history.
Internal flat rent and rent-wanted
Owners post rent out with optional monthly price; tenants post rent wanted keeps broker spam out of the main RWA group while staying inside verified members.
Resident services
Tutors, yoga instructors, electricians, and caterers post service offered; neighbours post service wanted for one-off help category tags make browsing faster than "anyone know a plumber?"
Pre-AGM equipment or society fundraisers
Selling old committee furniture or society-event props sell listings with clear titles so treasurer records stay separate from personal ads.
After a society poll approves a policy
When a poll limits short-term rentals or commercial activity, the marketplace moderation queue gives the committee a place to enforce reported violations not argument threads in chat.
