Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Question about severe emotional distburbance/mental illnessin cohousing

[Kay Argyle (kay.argyle]

The (probably) mentally ill resident we had was a renter, which simplified
matters. Arranging payment plans to catch up on unpaid rent, through
multiple job changes, chewed up half a year of management's time (I was on
the committee that year), but otherwise was of little concern to the
community. However, when the parents in the community became alarmed, it
served as a lever to get him out, pronto.

Then we spent the other half of the year fixing the apartment. He'd
redecorated (oh my god ...).
