HANDI

PUBLIC QUICK REFERENCE

Real Estate roles, explained clearly.

HANDI uses separate role and participation labels so people can understand who is responsible for what. One person may hold several scoped roles, but each role still needs its own evidence, authority, and current scope.

Property Owner

Ownership

A person or organization with an evidenced ownership interest or property interest. Ownership does not automatically make someone a Landlord, Host, Property Manager, or professional representative.

Scope: Property

May also be: Landlord / Lessor, Host, Property Manager

Landlord / Lessor

Rental

The party offering a property under a lease. The Landlord / Lessor may be the owner or an authorized party with a scoped mandate.

Scope: Property

May also be: Property Owner, Lease Representative, Property Manager

Host

Rental

The listing-scoped public contact for short-term or transient-stay information and consultation requests. A Host label is not proof of title, permits, or authority to transact.

Scope: Listing

May also be: Property Owner, RES, Broker, Property Manager, Stay Operator

HANDI BOUNDARY

Trusted information, not a transaction platform.

HANDI presents verified and trusted information and can route an accountable consultation request. Bookings, payments, deposits, negotiations, commissions, compensation, transactions, and agreements happen outside HANDI.

Compensation and commission workflows, ATS, and Rental Agreements are intentionally reserved for a later, separately governed phase.

REGULATORY NOTE

A label is not a license.

RES, Broker, ownership, landlord, development, representation, host, and service claims are separately evidenced and scoped. Subscription plans unlock product tools; they never create professional status or legal authority.
