Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Limits on rentals with or without absentee landlords

[Kelly Bachman (happyvalleykelly]

In our 23 years, we have mostly had good experiences with long term
renters. (We don’t allow short-term rentals.) Some renters have become
owners. Renters have brought more kids into the community. Renters have
mostly been active valued members of our community. We have a non-voting
renters representative on the board. Some of our renters rent a room in an
owners home and some rent the whole unit.

We have a suggested lease agreement that spells out the participation
requirements. If renters don’t do the required work hours, owners must do
the work themselves or pay $50 a month.
