We are a cohousing community of 48 households, with a number of nonparticipating members and renters. The owners of the rental units do not participate regularly in meetings and the renters are not allowed to vote for their owners even if the owner wants them to. The owners pay the usual COA dues for their unit so renters are allowed to participate in all ways with the community except voting. Our community has no work requirement at this time and some members and renters moved in with the assumption that they did not have to do anything and the majority of the renters do not participate in much (we have 5 full time rental units with 8 occupants and others (4 that I can think of) that are rented for part of the year). There will be at least 2 more units that will be fulltime rental units starting this summer. There is no cap on the number of units that may be rented in the community (What is the cap that other cohousing communities have?) We have had some resales already in our year and a half of living here (one unit has turned over twice, four others have resold, two more will probably be resold in the next year). We are grapling with how to integrate new members and also what we can do to make sure resales and renters are interested in participating in cohousing. This was a developer driven community and the push to sell units quickly made for some of the difficulties we are experiencing now in my estimation. Can we require prospectives to attend a meeting and meal before they make a decision about renting or buying? Can we require people to be on a team or contribute in some way to our community? What do other communities do? Gina Kruse Stone Curves Cohousing 136 E. Limberlost Dr. #101 Tucson, AZ 85705 (520) 327-1336 (home) (520) 661-4742 (cell)
