This guide describes the NEPREM Portal as of November 2026 (version 2.12.727). If a screen looks slightly different, the steps are usually the same. Questions: team@neprem.com or (617) 683-1148.
Your association has a bookkeeping and dues arrangement with NEPREM. NEPREM keeps the association's books, collects dues from owners, pays approved bills and prepares financial reports. The board arranges repairs, vendors and day-to-day building operations.
The Board Member Portal is your governance dashboard. From it you can:
You probably also own a unit. Your own dues, statement and Auto-Pay are on the board portal too, and in full on the Owner Portal (see the Association Owner Guide).
Posting, uploading and messaging owners need NEPREM to have confirmed your board seat (see section 2).
First time, or forgot your password:
The Set your password button in a welcome email from NEPREM ("Your NEPREM resident portal is ready") opens the same page with your email filled in. That email does not expire; the link the page then sends you works for 24 hours, once. After 5 wrong passwords in 15 minutes, sign-in to your account from that phone or computer pauses for 15 minutes. Setting a new password ends the pause.
If a link takes you to a page that needs you to be signed in (for example your statement, notification settings, repair requests, change password or Report a problem), the page shows a Sign in button. After you sign in, you come straight back to that page.
Two-step sign-in is optional but worth it for a board account:
Each code works only once.
NEPREM records which association's board you sit on. This is your board seat. NEPREM sets and confirms seats, so you cannot change your own. The portal header reads "Board dashboard for" and your association's name.
While NEPREM confirms a seat, a blue note at the top says so. Until then you can see the association's announcements and shared documents. Its repair requests wait too, so the Open Requests tile reads 0 for now. These stay hidden: documents and messages for the board only, the financial reports, the bills sent to the board, the violation notices, renters' vehicles, residents' phone numbers, emails and emergency contacts in All Units (it lists names only), and the delinquency list. Notices and meetings marked for owners and the board only reach you before then only if you own a unit at that association. The Units Directory on the Association Page still shows residents' names and emails, as it does for every owner. You also cannot post announcements, message owners or fellow board members, upload documents, edit shared-area requests, or issue or change violation notices. If you open the Pets and Vehicles page before then, it says NEPREM is confirming your board seat. If you are still waiting after a few days, email team@neprem.com.
At the top, Association Page (Governance) opens the shared association page (section 10). Some associations also show a blue Stripe notice titled "Online payments: Stripe setup in progress". It means NEPREM is still setting up your association's Stripe account. Owners can pay online meanwhile: their payments go to NEPREM first and are forwarded to the association. There is nothing for you to do, and the notice's Email NEPREM button opens an email to NEPREM.
| Tile | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Total Units | Units in the association. |
| Portal Accounts | How many units have at least one portal account linked ("18 of 23"). It is not a vacancy rate: owned units whose owner has no portal account count as not linked. |
| Bills Pending | Bills waiting for approval that NEPREM has emailed an approval link for. The line under it says whether to review them below or approve from your email, and how many approval links have expired. A bill whose approval email has not gone out yet is not counted, so the tile can read 0 while the Bills for card lists a bill. Check the card. |
| Delinquent Accounts | Units a month or more behind. Charges from the current month are not counted. |
| Open Requests | Common-area and building-wide maintenance requests that are open or in progress, plus any you filed yourself or that are on your own unit. |
| Unread Messages | New messages from NEPREM and owners. |
Under the tiles is a row of jump links to each section. Once NEPREM has confirmed your seat, the row ends with Vehicles, which opens the vehicles renters have registered (section 11).
When you have notices, the first jump link shows how many, for example 3 notifications (or 1 notification). It jumps to your Notifications list at the bottom of the page. It counts the notices from the last 90 days that you have not dismissed, and it is hidden when there are none. Each notice has a Dismiss button, and Dismiss all clears the list.
Governance first, then your own unit:
The bottom of every page has Report a problem (it files a support ticket with the page you were on), Need help? (it opens an email to NEPREM), the office email and phone, Sign out and a Dark / Light switch.
Bills that need board approval reach you two ways: by email, and in the Bills for card on your board portal. Either way works. The first board member to decide decides for the whole board, and that person's name is recorded with the decision.
The Bills for card lists each bill waiting for approval: vendor, amount, bill and due dates, reference and memo. It shows View invoice when a file is attached, and Review and decide. Review and decide opens the same confirmation page with Approve and Deny, and records the decision under your name. Below the list, Decisions in the last 12 months (tap it to open) shows each bill, the decision, who made it and when, and the reason given for a denial. A bill that NEPREM approved itself shows as "approved by NEPREM (manager decision)".
Good to know:
The card lists each unit a month or more behind: Unit, Owner(s), Past due, Oldest unpaid (the month the unit fell behind) and Last charge, with a Total past due at the bottom. Only owners are named; residents who rent are not. It only counts charges from before this month, so a new assessment is not "late" yet. A bank payment that is still clearing counts as paid. When everyone is current it says "No account is a month or more behind". Print list prints just this card.
The list is shown only to board members whose seat NEPREM has confirmed, for the association on screen.
Delinquency information is confidential. Do not share it outside the board.
Where your association's books are connected, the Financials card shows reports live from QuickBooks. Choose Period (a month, or Year to date) to load the Profit and Loss and Balance Sheet. For the current month, the Balance Sheet is dated today, not the last day of the month. You can Print them or Download CSV. Figures are as kept in QuickBooks and are not audited.
Other associations see a Monthly financial reports card with the latest package NEPREM prepared, or a Financial statements card that points to it. NEPREM prepares the statements in QuickBooks.
When NEPREM finishes a month, it can email board members the report package. The PDFs are attached when they are small enough. If they are not, the email says so and you use its View financial reports button. A corrected package has "Corrected:" in the subject. The Monthly financial reports card shows the latest month, and Open monthly financial reports (neprem.com/financial-reports) also lists earlier months. These emails still reach you if you unsubscribed from NEPREM email.
NEPREM can also send each confirmed board member their own copy of a monthly summary email, "Your [month] board summary for [association]". For that month it covers:
In the Paid in [month] list, a check NEPREM has written but not yet mailed shows "written, not mailed yet" after its check number. The bill counts as paid, but the vendor has not been sent the check yet.
It names owners and unit numbers (as your board portal does) but no phone numbers or emails. Nothing is sent automatically: a NEPREM manager previews each association's email and sends it. If you unsubscribed or turned off NEPREM emails, you will not get it. Treat it as confidential board information.
The Your unit card (Your units here with two or more units, below the governance cards) shows only your own unit(s) in the association on screen, with the same pay area as the Owner Portal: Pay by bank (free), Pay by card (+5.49%) and Pay a different amount, your transaction history, and a Print statement button for the unit. All my units: Owner Portal opens your full owner view. If your own Auto-Pay will pay what is due, the pay area says so ("Auto-Pay will pay this on Nov 5 ..."). Card payments add a 5.49% card fee. Bank payments are free and take 1 to 4 business days to clear.
From January 1, 2027 (the 2027 management agreement), for you and for every owner: the card fee becomes Stripe's processing cost, passed through at cost: 2.9% of the total charged plus 30 cents, about 3%, and NEPREM keeps none of it. Debit cards are not accepted from that day, and money orders are accepted with no fee (payable to the same name as a check, mailed to 1 Beacon Street, Floor 15, Boston, MA 02108). Bank transfers stay free. Until then, the 5.49% card fee applies.
The General Announcements and Meeting Announcements cards let the board post to the whole association. Posts appear on the Association Page and in residents' portals. Posting needs a confirmed seat.
For an Owners and board only meeting, the calendar link in each email and the Add to Calendar button are personal: they work without signing in only for the owner or board member they were made for. A forwarded link, or an older link from before this change, asks you to sign in first, and then opens only for owners, the board and NEPREM.
Residents RSVP from the email, the Association Page or their portal. An RSVP link opened from the email while signed out shows "Opening your secure NEPREM page..." for a moment first. The page that opens asks them to confirm (for example Confirm: No, can't attend), and nothing is recorded until they do. The day before, people who said Yes or Maybe, and invited owners and board members who have not answered, get a reminder. Once a meeting has started it no longer takes answers.
Under each meeting the board sees RSVP responses: how many owners and how many invited people answered, the Yes, Maybe, No and No answer yet counts, and a table of names with unit, owner or resident, answer and time (including who has not answered). People who have since sold or moved out are left out. Print and Download CSV are there too.
A board member with a confirmed seat can edit, cancel or delete any post at the association, including posts NEPREM or another board member wrote. Check whose post it is before you change or delete it.
The Documents & Bylaws card starts with Quick access tiles for Bylaws, Handbook, Master Insurance and Flood Insurance. Tap a tile, or Download in the list, to open a document. A tile can still say "Not on file" when the document is filed under another category or name, so check the list; its Request from manager link emails NEPREM. Below the tiles is the full list: association-wide documents plus files for your own unit. Documents shared with Board members only appear once NEPREM has confirmed your seat.
Uploading needs a confirmed seat.
You can Archive a document you uploaded yourself. Archiving hides it from the portals and keeps the file. The board cannot delete documents or archive other people's uploads. Anyone who saved a link to a document can still open it after it is archived. If something was published by mistake (for example minutes to everyone instead of the board), archive it and email team@neprem.com right away so NEPREM can change who can see it or remove it.
The HOA Violations card is where the board issues notices and records outcomes. Issuing and changing notices needs a confirmed seat. Until NEPREM confirms it, the card says so and the association's notices stay hidden.
The card shows the Open and Closed counts (Closed covers the past 12 months) and the Fines owed amount (posted and not yet paid). Closed counts resolved, waived and fined notices. Below that is one row per notice, newest first. Use Show (All notices, Open or Closed) and Unit to narrow the list. A Show ... older notices button reveals the rest. Tap a row to see the notice text, the dates, the emails sent to the owner (and who could not be reached), the owner's replies, and your actions.
Owners can reply to a notice, or request a hearing while it is open, from their Owner Portal. You get their message by email and see it under the notice. Reply to that email to answer the owner directly. While a hearing request is open, no fine can be posted. Record the decision first (Appeal denied, Mark resolved or Waive this notice).
Owners see their own notices on the Owner Portal.
Your board arranges repairs for your association, not NEPREM. Owners can still submit requests from their portal, and NEPREM sees them.
The card starts with a form to Report a common-area issue at your association (hallways, roof, grounds, elevator, building systems). Add a subject, priority and description, and up to 3 photos if you like, then tap Send to NEPREM. Below it, the list shows the common-area and building-wide requests at the association on screen, each with its request number. The list opens on Open + In Progress. Use the Show buttons to see Resolved or Closed requests, and the other filters for priority and category.
Requests inside owners' or renters' units are private to that household. The board does not see them, on the portal or by email. You can still see requests you filed yourself and requests on your own unit, the same as any owner.
The board can update any request filed as Common Area (status, notes and details), including the ones you file with the form above. A status only moves forward: Open, In Progress, Resolved, Closed. Shared-area reports that residents file themselves ("Common area (resident report)") are view only until NEPREM files them as Common Area.
Board members are emailed when a new common-area or building-wide request is filed at the association. You are not emailed about a request you filed yourself, or if you turned off maintenance request emails.
Walkthrough (inspection) reports appear only if NEPREM inspects your property under your agreement, newest inspection first. Tap View / Print to open one; use your browser to print or save it as a PDF. Only submitted reports are listed. You are emailed when a new one is submitted.
Association Page (Governance) opens neprem.com/association-page, the page owners see, with:
Back to my portal returns you to the board portal.
All Units lists every unit in natural order with the people linked to it (each marked Owner, Renter or Resident), their emails, phone numbers and emergency contacts, so the board can reach residents in an emergency. Type in Find a unit or person to filter the list. Once NEPREM has confirmed your seat, Print roster prints it. "No portal account" means nobody linked to that unit has a portal account, not that the unit is empty. "No email on file" means NEPREM has no real email for that person.
In All Units, emails, phone numbers and emergency contacts appear only once NEPREM has confirmed your seat; before that it lists names only. They are private: use them for association business only. The directory on the Association Page (section 10) shows names and emails to every owner and board member, confirmed or not. All Units adds phone numbers and emergency contacts.
Renters list their vehicles (and pets) in their own portal. Once NEPREM has confirmed your seat, the Vehicles jump link opens Pets and Vehicles, a read-only page of the vehicles renters in your association have listed, for parking: unit, renter, each vehicle (make, model, color, plate and state) and when it was last updated. The board sees vehicles only: renters' pets are not shared with the board. Back to my portal returns you. Use it for parking and association business only.
Owners who reply to your message reply to you, in the portal. Open a message and tap Reply to answer anyone who wrote to you. You can attach up to 3 files (JPG or PNG photos, or PDFs, up to 10 MB each). Only the people you send it to and NEPREM can open them; files are never attached to the email. You can send up to 10 messages an hour and 30 in 24 hours.
The Profile & Settings card is the one place to update your name, company, phone, email, emergency contact and mailing address.
The card also holds the one paper mail setting (Digital only: stop paper mail). If NEPREM cannot email you, paper still comes. The card also holds phone alerts. Phone alerts are the Push notifications control: tap Turn on on each phone or computer where you want alerts. On an iPhone, add the portal to your Home Screen first.
On the Notification settings page you can switch off Email alerts, Maintenance request emails, New document emails and New message emails, then tap Save Preferences. Email alerts is the master switch: off stops the other three, and also the walkthrough report emails and the monthly board summary. These switches do not stop bill approval emails, violation emails, announcements, meeting notices or the monthly financial reports.
Unsubscribing from NEPREM email (the Unsubscribe from NEPREM email link on that page, or an unsubscribe link in an email) stops announcements and meeting notices, dues reminders and emailed monthly statements for your own unit, new-message notices (except messages NEPREM staff write to you alone), new-document notices, and the monthly board summary. Bill approval emails, violation emails, new common-area and building-wide maintenance requests, walkthrough reports, the monthly financial report packages, payment receipts and past-due notices still reach you. Even so, avoid unsubscribing while you serve on the board. If you did, use Resume email in Profile & Settings or on the Notification settings page, or ask NEPREM.
Those need NEPREM to have confirmed your board seat. A blue note at the top of your portal says when your seat is still being confirmed. See section 2, or email team@neprem.com.
Tap Email me a new approval link on that page, or decide from the Bills for card in your portal. If the page says a newer email replaced the link, use the newest email. Section 4 has the details.
Open Bills for in your portal: every bill waiting for approval is listed there, and you can decide from it. Then check your spam folder, and check that NEPREM has your real email address in Profile & Settings. If a bill is still missing, email team@neprem.com.
No. The board sees common-area and building-wide requests only. You can still see requests you filed yourself and requests on your own unit. See section 9.
Your board does, not NEPREM. See section 9.
Yes: in the announcement form choose Send to: Owners and board only. It is emailed to owners, the board and NEPREM, and only they see it in the portal and on the Association Page. Still, keep anything confidential out of announcements: anyone who receives one can forward it. For a private conversation with owners, use Messages and choose All Owners in My Association.
Archive it if you uploaded it yourself. Otherwise email team@neprem.com. The board cannot delete documents. Archiving hides a document but does not close a link someone already saved, so tell NEPREM if it was shared with the wrong people.
Ask NEPREM to reverse the charge. Tell the owner.
Check your spam folder, and check that NEPREM has your real email address. Then look at Notification settings and use Resume email if you unsubscribed (section 13). Bill approval emails still reach you after an unsubscribe.
One card fee of 5.49% of the payment. Bank transfers (ACH) are free.
It counts units with a portal account linked, not occupied units.
