Long-term Guest Agreement

This agreement is for non-members who live with members in Woodsworth.  The Board must approve long-term guest status.

Once approved by the Board of Directors, the new long-term guest and all members in the household must sign the  Long-Term Guest agreement with the co-op. It must be witnessed by staff on behalf of the co-op.

Management is the contact for long-term guest status.

Requesting long-term guest status:

The LTG  agreement is only signed by approved Long-Term Guests (LTGs), members in their household, and witnessed by Management.

First, members should make a written request to the board of directors to approve their guest as a long-term guest in their unit.

Please use the long-term guest request form (in the Photocopy Room and on the website.) Return it to Management so staff can make sure that the application is on a Board meeting agenda for approval.

The request must be signed by all co-op members in the household. The proposed guest must sign the request as well.

Long-term guest agreement.

For your convenience, there is also a filled-in copy.
You can  compare your long-term guest agreement with that sample to ensure that it was done properly.

Be sure to get a copy of your completed and witnessed agreement. You will need that if you decide to apply for membership in Woodsworth.

Sample of long-term guest agreement: here’s how the completed form should look

If you have a long-term guest agreement with Woodsworth, it must be signed after approval by the Board of Directors, co-signed by all members in your unit, and witnessed by a co-op staff member.

This completed form must be presented to the check-in desk at the information session by those applying for membership as an internal resident. You will not be given an application form if you do not have this form.
