Cohousing-L Mailing List: Question re: guest room policies

[Iowa City Cohousing (iowacitycohousing]

We have been settling our cohousing community in stages, with our numbers
increasing as each new building is completed. We have two guest rooms in
our common house. Our current guest room policy allows people to reserve
one or both rooms on a first-come, first-served basis up to four months in
advance. So far, that’s been working just fine. However, as our community
continues to grow, we anticipate that the demand for guest rooms will
increase, particularly around holiday times in November and December.

We are wondering how other communities have dealt with this. Do any of you
have policies in place that set limits on how often one household can
reserve, or some way to rotate peak season reservations to give more people
a chance to use the rooms? Any wisdom you have to offer would be welcome.
Thank you!
