Cohousing-L Mailing List: RE: Boundaries of pathology: Removing a crazy person

[Rob Sandelin (floriferous]

Legally you can do nothing, Socially, you can ask them to leave, give
examples of why the ENTIRE group does not want them around. This is drastic
and last resort, but it does and can happen. Most people who have joined a
social entity as a community will get it. They may withdrawl at first, but
eventually they will leave if it is clear they are not wanted.

Rob, how do you remove a person from a cohousing community.  They've bought
a house.  Don't they have a right to continue to live there?

anyone to leave.
