RE: Public use of the Common House at Winslow cohousing

At Sharingwood all outside users have to have a community host who agrees to
be held responsible for the group. We have maybe half a dozen outside groups
using the commonhouse in a year.  We have a commonhouse useage agreement and
require a fee for closed (private) use of the commonhouse. Our insurance
covers any use of the building already.  Since we require all groups to have
a member host I think it has both kept the usage by outsiders low, and also
has good supervision. In the past, when this has come up for discussion, it
has been very clear that we do NOT want outside groups dominating our
commonhouse. Thus outside useage tends to be light. You might want to use a
shelter scale or some other similar polling method to see how people in your
community feel about it.

Here are some questions we are dealing with here:

1) Do you allow outside groups to use your common house?
2) Has there been any insurance implications for your group because of this?
3) Have you had to do any legal paperwork in order to do this?
4) Do you ask for any payment for the use of your common house?
5) Anything else you would like to add?
