Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: policies and practices for including renters in your community?

Some people had other questions about our rental policy at Nevada City 
Cohousing, so here is little more info:

We have a limit of 9 rentals in the community (25%), although I think that is 
also now California law that you have to allow up to 25% of your homes to be 
rented. I tend to recommend 25% because above that you can have more trouble 
getting mortgages as banks start to think of you as an investor property. Every 
lender has a condo questionnaire that ask about the number of owner-occupied 
rentals (renting a room doesn’t count).

Our HOA policy is that you have to re-up your request to rent every year, but 
that is just in case we are getting close to the limit, which we never have. It 
also a good time to check in with owners.

We do not have any policy prohibiting investment property owners.
