Cohousing-L Mailing List: Following through on community decisions

[David Heimann (heimann]

        This hasn't come up yet in my group.  However, I did live in a
condominium for some time.  An aggrieved party could complain to the
board of trustees.  If the board felt the complaint was justified, they
could send a letter to the owner of the unit.  If it was a financial
matter, for example a serious arrears in condo fees or damage caused by
the owner or their tenants to common property, the board could put a lien
on the unit.  I'm not sure what they could do in case of a non-financial
matter, for example pet poop or playing loud music late at night.  Perhaps
they could levy a fine or carry a complaint in the condominium
association's name to the police.


        I'm curious myself as to what experience cohousing communities who
are "living there" have in dealing with this decision non-compliance.

Kay argyle mentioned dog poop as an issue. Pets in general are in the top 3
conflict issues of almost any community. The point of this thread is, IF
your community has made a decision, and a person or people are not following
it, how does your community follow up on it?

Making decisions that are undermined by people not following them seems to
be a common experience. How do you deal with it?
