What is a Common Area? What is an Amenity?
Common areas are places on a property accessible to all Residents. Anyone who lives there will have access to these areas just by the basis of living there. This could be a hallway, a gym, etc. Residents have access to these areas without having to pay any additional fee.
Amenities exist for the times when a property needs to have areas that are like common areas, but the property wants to be able to decide to grant access to some Residents and not others. These are often paid, such as storage areas or parking, or could be a pool or gym available only to Residents over the age of 18.
You’ll need to designate both of these in your Property Setup to assign common area or amenity access.
