  1. I am looking for by-laws from your co-op or any other co-op. Problem, we have been given a by-law which infringes on the rights of the members. Example: A member cannot contact - include complaints to bodies like the Agency for Co-operative Housing, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, a service manager, a government official, a newspaper, the Co-operative Housing Federation of Canada or a local co-op housing federation....this is included in anew set of by-laws. The Members Rights clause when down to only a few things, like the co-op will rent you a unit, a park spot... All in all they are the rotten to the core. Just want to see if other co-ops became lowered a mere tenant or have upstanding by-laws. Thank you

    1. You seem to understand major co-op housing stakeholders' well enough! They use risk management to protect the co-op, board of directors, and staff. You can view or download PDF files that include by-laws from another co-op by selecting files and choose from the menu of files or photos from the following link http://tinyurl.com/d4m3dfn CHIE is a self-help site that is yours to explore and find your own answers...As administrator of this site, I don't care to use my personal time to answer visitor questions..., but will update this site so you and others may find your own answers!

    2. I have noted that the comments location will not publish links to other pages and sites, if you want to view or download files in PDF...scroll up the page, locate and click the image of the wolf & moon icon on the right side of any CHIE page.
