In the Sharingwood Legal documents, homeowner dues are a primary lien, which
means they survive bankruptcy. In the event that a bank forecloses on a
property, the bank, pays the existing back dues and also ongoing dues until
the property is acquired by another owner. We had this actually happen and
the bank paid straight away the previous owners considerable dues debt.
One thing many cohousing groups do is collect 3 months of dues as "working capital". This gives a 90 pay ahead for delinquint dues. Also charging interest or penalty on late dues is another means.
On the other hand, we have allowed owners in financial hard times to do community work and other options, including gifts and loans to help them out. The group decides.
