Cohousing-L Mailing List: Common House Use

[Kathleen Heft Nolan (kathleennolan]

We are reviewing our common house use agreements and have encountered strong
feelings on all sides, especially with regard to two areas: money and
privacy. 
 
Money: should members be able to make money in the common house, whether
they are supporting themselves, commercial business, hosting a workshop with
a fee, or fundraising for non-profit organizations.
 
Privacy: should members be able to reserve all or a portion of the
commonhouse and ask others to provide privacy so that they can host
gatherings that are confidential in nature or cannot be disturbed.
 
We invite you to share your experiences with these and other common house
use issues, including sample agreements/policies.
 
Will share ours to those interested, when updated.

Thanks, Kathleen Heft Nolan
