Cohousing-L Mailing List: RE: send those pet policies

[Rob Sandelin (floriferous]

People who have pet allergies will not enjoy that pets are in the
commonhouse. Our pet policy forbids this for that reason.  We have three
members who can not be in a house where cats live, and two who have the same
issue with dogs. This limits their ability to come to private home parties,
tv shows, etc.

The Pet policy was the most flaunted of our agreements and so we added a set
of steps, which move through mediation, to fines, to pet removal by the
board to give it teeth. This worked, and those who found the pet policy
ignorable, no longer do so.
