SO YOU HAVE PURCHASED A MEMBERSHIP IN A COOPERATIVE

Sometimes it is difficult to go from a family home, high-rise or apartment to buying into a Cooperative community.  Each type of housing option has it's own benefits and some not so desired benefits. 

So a cooperative living is like an apartment or rental community where you have a management team or owner that cares for the exterior of the buildings , parking lots and grounds but your day to day interior items are not part of the monthly fee because you purchased that space in the form of a membership stock in the community as an equal member.  This where a cooperative is also similar to home ownership.  You are responsible for the interior and all the furnishings.  An added bonus for you in this cooperative is you also have maintenance coverage for hot water tanks and heating source.  You also have many items that come with your membership, Roof and siding upkeep (you are responsible for the interior repairs), you have the entrance, mail house, neighborhood events and social gatherings (if you desire).

Of course the rules and payments must be kept up and paid on time as well as the taxes twice a year.  Like an apartment community you can be held responsible for breaking the rules but like home ownership you do have a say in the community and a Board of Directors to keep order and work for the greater good of all owners.
