Important Resident Documents

As a member of Two Rivers Homeowners Cooperative, you're part of a resident-owned and self-governed community. Living here means being involved, informed, and invested in the well-being of our neighborhood. The documents below help guide how we live together and keep our community strong, stable, and affordable. Cooperative Management, Inc. (CMI), our property management company, supports the Board and residents by helping manage day-to-day operations and community coordination.

Community Rules

Our community rules are designed to promote safety, respect, and a clean, peaceful environment. They cover things like noise, parking, pet policies, yard upkeep, and common space use. All residents are expected to follow these rules to help maintain the quality of life for everyone.

Lease Agreement

Each member signs a long-term space lease for the lot their home occupies. This agreement outlines your rights and responsibilities as a homeowner in the community—including monthly lot rent payments, maintenance expectations, and adherence to community rules. 

Bylaws

The bylaws are the foundation of how TRHC is governed. They explain how decisions are made, how the Board operates, and how members can participate in shaping the community. As a member, your voice matters in meetings, elections, and big-picture decisions.

Need-to-Know Info for Residents

Looking for help with a specific issue? This section covers some of the most common resident needs—including how to request changes to your site, file a concern or complaint, and respond to violation notices. These processes help keep our community fair, consistent, and well-maintained.

New Occupants/ Extended Stay Guests

If you have a guest staying more than 14 days in a 6-month period, they may need to be approved as a household occupant. This helps ensure that everyone living in the community has been properly screened and approved under our co-op’s rules.

Anyone who plans to stay beyond that 14-day limit—unless they are a legal caregiver for a resident with a disability—must apply to the Board and meet the requirements outlined in the screening policy and bylaws. This includes a background check and, if approved, a signed agreement with the co-op.

Site/Home Change Requests

Planning to update your home or lot? Any exterior changes—including painting, adding a porch or deck, installing a shed or fence, major landscaping, etc.—must be approved by the Board before work begins. 

​

After you submit your request, the Board will review it at their next meeting. If approved, the Board will notify you directly with a written approval. You are then responsible for providing a copy of this approval to CMI. Depending on meeting schedules and whether more information is needed, approval can take up to a month or longer—so please be patient with the process. Our Board is made up of volunteers from the community.

Violations/ Notices

Before reaching out to CMI or a Board member, please review the information on this page. It explains how to understand your notice and what steps to take. You can also submit your required response using the provided link.
 

All notices require a written response—either using the form included with your notice, CMI’s online response form, or via email.
 

If you need more time or assistance, don’t hesitate to ask. You’re welcome to call our property manager for help understanding your notice and what needs to be corrected. However, a written response is still required.

Complaints

If you have a concern related to community issues, policy violations, or neighbor conflicts, please use the official CMI Complaint Form to ensure your concern is properly documented and reviewed. You may submit your complaint to CMI or the Board of Directors.

​

Be sure to follow the guidelines provided on that page carefully. Incomplete complaints may not be enforceable or may delay action. All complaints must be submitted in writing using the form. Verbal or anonymous complaints cannot be formally addressed.

TRHC Policies

Policies are community-wide guidelines adopted by the Board to help keep daily operations fair, consistent, and transparent for all residents. These policies cover specific topics that are not always outlined in the co-op’s bylaws or lease agreement, yet are important for smooth and respectful community living.

Policies are reviewed and updated by the Board as needed. Following them helps ensure everyone shares a clear understanding of expectations and procedures.

Screening Policy

All new residents must complete a screening process before moving into the cooperative. This may include background checks and other eligibility reviews, depending on the type of application. Screenings are handled by CMI and reviewed by the Board in accordance with fair housing laws.
 

This policy applies to anyone over 18 joining a household, whether purchasing a home or moving in with an existing resident.

Clubhouse Reservation

The clubhouse is available for private resident use by reservation. To reserve the space, you must submit a request and follow the policy guidelines, including any applicable fees and cleanup requirements.
 

Reservations are reviewed and approved by the Board. Please plan ahead—availability is limited and not guaranteed until confirmed in writing.

Preferred Vendors

The Board may choose to hire vendors who have previously provided reliable service and fair pricing to the co-op—without seeking additional bids. This helps maintain quality, reduce delays, and support continuity with trusted providers.
 

Vendors are selected based on past performance, cost-effectiveness, and familiarity with the community’s needs.
