Description:

With the low supply of affordable housing out there and long wait-lists, co-ops are feeling the pinch and are being pulled in all directions. Properly housing their under-housed members, finding a way for the over-housed to downsize, dealing with different household compositions and requests for sublets - this is your chance to ask your tough legal questions of our lawyer panel.
