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.
