Cohousing-L Mailing List: Speaking of renters...

[Marty Roberts (MartyR]

We are wanting to create a renters handbook to give to people that rent 
someone's house in their absence.  It would also be useful to give to 
renting roommates.  this would be something to let them know in a 
concise way what the general expectations and agreements are in the 
community.  Are there any samples of something like this that you could 
send me?

Also, do people have a written rental agreement with renters and 
roommates that includes some expectation of participation?  Our 
experience here so far has been that roommates participate very, very 
little if at all.  This seems very uncohousing-like, but the owners say 
they need the income from whoever they can get.  And one of our houses 
has been rented out for almost a year to a family that has participated 
very little (when they do, we love it).  Interested in any discussion 
of these issues.
Thanks,
Marty Roberts
