Workshop Details
Hoarding can manifest in various ways within your co-op, and the Board has the responsibility to take decisive action in addressing these situations, particularly when they pose a threat to the lives, safety, and health of members and the community at large. While managing hoarding can be challenging, it is imperative to tackle it effectively and discreetly. There may not be specific laws against hoarding, but there are numerous legal and effective strategies that your co-op can implement to address problematic hoarding behaviors successfully.
