Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Background Checks

[Muriel Kranowski (murielk]

Can an already built community prevent someone from buying, moving in, and
joining the community (based on criteria they establish that are legal to
use, whatever those might be)? Supposing I needed to stay on my meds or had
a violent-crime record, what could the community do about that if they knew
it when I first expressed interest?

I'm thinking that it might be easier to discourage someone problematic when
you're still in the forming stage, but once it's housing for sale, what
recourse does the community have?
