Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: requirements about maintaining private property

[Muriel Kranowski (murielk]

I'm the original poster. The "bad-yard" household doesn't care who might do 
the weeding for them, but we have no history of the HOA taking on outside 
maintenance for neglectful homeowners, let alone billing the homeowner for it.

What would we do if the owner refused to pay? I think it would be very hard 
to get consensus on suing a member over this kind of problem.
