Most housing co-operatives will have been registered under "model rules". Regardless of which rules the co-operative was registered under, it is important for all members to read them. Operating outside of the rules can lead to personal liability for bad decisions, fines from the Registrar or worse still, the co-operative being forcibly wound up.
The co-operative will also need policies which set out parameters within which the co-operative will carry out everyday business. These may also be known as "secondary rules" or "standing orders". Some co-operatives have very complex secondary rules, whilst others have virtually none. It is advisable to collate them for easy access and encourage all members to become familiar with them. It is also advisable to generate a procedures manual explaining how key tasks are carried out.

The relationship between tenant and co-operative is not a simple one.
The co-op supplies the tenant with a service (housing) according to a contract (tenancy agreement/license). The tenant pays rent in return for the housing they occupy according to the contract.

The member is responsible

a) As a member, to participate in the smooth operation and democracy of the co-operative. To attend general meetings. To participate in setting policy.
b) As a tenant, to pay rent. To behave responsibly towards other tenants and other duties as laid out in the tenancy agreement/license.
c) As a director, to ensure that the co-operative is run in a fit & proper manner. All directors are responsible for ensuring that tasks are carried out. Even when tasks have been delegated, all directors are equally responsible for monitoring them. To make management decisions.

a) To provide tenants with suitable housing, and other duties as laid out in the tenancy agreement/ license.
b) To conduct business in a fit & proper manner.
c) To keep accurate records & accounts of the business of the co-operative.

In practice many of the co-operatives tasks are delegated to individuals. However, all directors are equally responsible for ensuring they are carried out and making checks.
In Fully Mutual housing co-operatives, only tenants or prospective tenants may become members & only members may become tenants. Only members may become directors. If the committee of management is the General Meeting, all members will be directors. You cannot "opt out" of the responsibility without opting out of the housing you rent.

As a co-operative run by many people, it is important for a housing co-operative to have meetings. This is the main way in which decisions can be made in a democratic organization. Other methods (such as all members signing a proposal) are unwieldy and time consuming.

The rules will stipulate how much notice members have to be given, and how many members must be present before a meeting may take place. These rules exist to protect the democratic rights of everyone to participate in the running of the co-operative. For example, a small group cannot hold a meeting to pass policies that the majority of members are opposed to without giving them the chance to oppose such changes.

Some co-operatives use majority to arrive at decisions, whilst others use consensus. Both have advantages & disadvantages, but it is for the members to decide what is most appropriate, within the confines of the rules.

The co-operatives business is the management of housing & related services. It makes no difference whether the housing is owned, managed, on short life basis and whether services means repairs, gardening or none other than running the co-op. The co-operative has to hold regular meetings to manage its affairs. Good information can prevent disasters happening as indicators are spotted. The meeting may also decide on policy. However, this is secondary to the business of managing the company.

Minutes (records) must be kept of all meetings. This is proof that the members have acted as best they could to prevent the company trading illegally. Without this proof, limited liability may not apply and members may be personally held liable.
