Members pay a monthly housing charge to live in a housing Co-operative.
As a not-for-profit housing provider, Co-op members pay housing charges to cover the cost to operate and maintain the Co-op’s property and building. Members also have input on the budget for operating and maintaining the Co-op.
As a member of Guise St. Housing Co-operative, you are expected to pay your housing charges on time so that the Board of Directors is able (through the property management company) to pay for the Co-op’s monthly expenses to manage and maintain the property including staff costs, maintenance costs, repair costs, energy costs, insurance, and mortgage payments.
Guise Street Housing Co-operative Inc. is a Non-Smoking property. Smoking includes inhaling, exhaling, burning or carrying a lighted tobacco, vaping or marijuana or similar product whose use generates smoke.
The No Smoking Policy was passed by the Board of Directors due to health and safety concerns, along with additional costs associated, with smoking. It was approved by the members of the Co-op and applies to any member, resident, guest, business invitee or visitor within the building, or on the property.
