    • If the Housing Agreement contains a member and a co-member both are required to sign the notice to vacate.

    • If the Housing Agreement contains a member and a co-member and the member or the co-member vacates the unit, the remaining member maintains membership in said unit without re-applying or re-qualifying. However, written notice must be given to the office that indicates which member is vacating with the request that the vacating member be removed from the membership. This document must be dated and signed by both members. There shall be no charges levied for this requirement and the total share/member deposit amount must remain with the unit.

  • Notice in Event of Death
