The Cottage Rules sets out no-nonsense, easy-to-use guidelines for cottage owners who share ownership with others. It deals with everything from succession to laundry. The rules work to prevent conflicts, so that your relationship with your partners can be either as close or as distant as you desire. This book shows cottage owners how to manage their cottage like a business, which in turn prevents disputes and frees their time and energy so they can use it to enjoy the cottage. With four cornerstones to the system (meetings, bookings, banking, and work weekends), the rules are easy to implement, flexible, and reliable. The Cottage Rules can help owners attain their dream of peaceful cottage ownership. A set of forms and samples are included as part of a download kit, which includes:

Partnership contract

Sample meeting agenda

Log book forms to record events and work done

Forms to track expenses

Lists for basic pantry items and a first-aid kit

This long overdue second edition is much more comprehensive and includes the addition of 3 new chapters, 5 major lists, and 10 updated sections. It also features media quotes and reaction to the first version, insight on the cottaging lifestyle and what kind of attitude it takes to share amicably, plus more photos!

Set boundaries and regulations to avoid conflict

Ensure your viewpoint is heard and understood
