-- Liz Stevenson Southside Park Cohousing Sack-o-tomatos, CA ---------- > 1) Do you have policies/requirements for renters as far as participation? We don't have requirements. We felt it would be an undue imposition on the owners who needed the income from renters to have to try to find only those who were interested in participating. Most of the renters have been participants anyway, and several of them have been very valuable members of the community. > > 2) How do you work community assessments?

Since we are one of the very few communities to have subsidized houses for low and middle income members, we decided to base HOA dues strictly on square footage. No help there, I'm afraid. We had a very unusual situation where the renters were actually off site, but participating, and I think we charged them a small fee. > > 3) Is there a rental agreement that roommates sign saying they agree to > community rules, etc.? Nope. The owners are trusted to screen people and deal with them if they are a problem. After all, they have to live with them. > > 4) Anything else you would like to share. We try to have few rules about peoples' behavior. You can't legislate that sort of thing anyway, and it takes too long to decide what the rules will be. And nobody EVER wants to be the enforcer. Trust the people with whom you've spent all this time building community.
