Cohousing-L Mailing List: Rental policies

[Richart Keller (richart.keller]

Hi all

We are considering changing our policies with regard to rental units and
would appreciate any guidance based on the experience/policies of other
cohousing communities 

Specifically, for your community:

1) How are the rental units owned?  Public agency, community, community
resident, nonresident individual, other _________ ?

2)  What policies do you have with regard to renters?  

3)  What, if any, specific reasons or goals do you have for providing rental
houses?

4)  Any advice for communities who are considering offering or allowing
rentals?


(FYI -- like many cohousing communities, our underlying legal structure is
as a condominum, we are permitted as a planned residential development, and
our local permit includes some restriction on rentals.)

Thanks in advance for any thoughts, suggestions, etc.

Rick
