Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: participating in community

[Kay Wilson Fisk (kwwilson]

We had an orientation process for renters during our construction phase, but
have not continued it. Our landlords do their own orientation, and it is
clearly not working. I would appreciate any tips you might have. For
example:

- Who does the orienting of renters? Do you have a certain person or
committee to do this?

- Is completing orientation a pre-requisite of signing a lease?

- Is there a participation agreement they sign?

We orient renters and require them to abide by community rules and expect 
them to participate in community chores.  So if an owner has left and then 
rents, we have some work done by the renters.
