Most of the rentals in our community (Liberty Village, Maryland) are units
carved out of the pre-existing larger unit. So we have a couple of
basement units and a second-floor rental unit that were unfinished space
when originally built. One other one is split vertically which is
certainly different - it's actually for rent right now.

If there's a rental or two or more in a typical (whatever that is) cohousing project, are they usually owned by the community or are they extra units a member had built in anticipation of renting? Or something else. If it is the latter, isn't this another example of getting a renter who isn't necessarily tied to the mission and goals of the community? If owned by the community, how to fair housing laws affect the selection of someone to rent a unit? For that matter, what if a member of the community decides to move out and turn her/his unit into a rental? Cheers!
