Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Hosts for visitors [was: short term rental policies

[Main Email (zabaldo]

Good morning all… this is so funny, Fred. 

I also got locked out of the guestroom something like 5 AM in the morning in a 
cohousing community I was visiting.

 Thankfully, they had a person who was in charge of the guest rooms. I sat on 
the floor  outside the room, practice my ohm and deep breathing and waited 
until about 7 AM When I heard people moving around in Common House.

I wonder how many other people have been locked out of their guest room in a 
common house?  Maybe it’s a red badge of courage…
