Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Tenants in Common agreement

[Pare Gerou (paregerou]

Hi Francis!

Property law is very state specific in most ways, especially with respect
to TIC.  You might try calling the local law school Landlord Tenant Clinic
and try to talk them into some help from a law student to create a more
customized TIC doc.  While they serve low income clients, you can come
clean that this is definitely not low income but then sell it to them as a
novel and interesting legal topic given that the joint owners within a
cohousing community and each owner owns a portion of the commons as well,
etc.

You might also try wonderful Clifford Paulin (
https://www.cliffordpaulin.com/) so that the two owners can create a simple
contract between them of things they agree to (ie: with respect to resale,
HOA payments, etc).  They can simply start by listing things that could
become a conflict and working through the substantive issues themselves
before they reach out to him (ie: what will they do if they have a
conflict, will they agree in advance to go to mediation if that occurs?).

Good luck!  Your community looks like it is just amazing and I look forward
to watching it as you build.
