Our 'Renters and Guests' agreement (go to our website in my signature below to see agreement) was one that we crafted before move-in. I think it helped that we did address it ahead of time while it was still theoretical, rather than after we had folks with vacant rentals they were trying to fill. In a nutshell, the agreement says that: - renters are folks who stay more than 3 months, whether they pay or not - guests stay less than 3 months; hosts are responsible for their guests - renters are expected to become community members and participate in community activities (we have a membership application process) For the most part, this has worked well for us. We've had lots of very good renters and a couple not-so-good ones, but you could probably say the same thing about our owner members. :-) - Mac -- Mac Thomson Heartwood Cohousing Southwest Colorado http://www.heartwoodcohousing.com "We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time." - T.
