Cohousing-L Mailing List: Common costs: common house, infrastructure - how to proportion?

[Linda Gluck/Treehouse (treehouse]

Thanks to Fred and all for this wonderful list-serve resource-

We are in formation and trying to figure out how contributions to the common
costs should be divvyed up. Base it on:
Larger individual house (sq.ft.)?
Number of household members? Altho that could change if the house changes
hands
Cost of individual house?
What about renters? I guess the question then would be- who owns the rental
unit and wouldn't the owner be responsible for that unit's share of the
cost?
Or are rental units owned by the community and therefore part of the common
costs?

If a house later changes hands, is that original cost added to the selling
price of the unit?
