I am still trying to sort this situation out. I wish you would be a little more explicit on the problems between the Alum and Active members.

The Alums are upset about a few minor changes?

What are the minor changes?


The House Corporation owns the House?

The House Corporation is made up of a Board of Directors, correct?

Are there members of the Active Chapter who are on the Board?

I do not really know that much about you Organization, but LXA has a stingent set of guidelines which are followed for the House Corporation. Who is on the Board, how many Officers from the Alum and what Officers of the Active Chapter are on the Board!

Usually, the House Corporation owns the House as they own title to it. What the Active Chapter does is rent the House from them. They pay rent which in turn pays the bills.

Depending on what the lease agreement states upon signing is what dictates what the rights are of the people who live in the house.

If no such stipulation is given, the Land Lord still has the right to inspect the premisis. This includes private rooms. A notice must be given with a proper time date for both partys to meet at said room. If the party refuses to allow the Land Lord to inspect the room, they can be found in default and asked to vacat. If there is non payment of rent, they can be evicted.

It seems that more blanks to questions need to be filled in!

The Alums plus the co-signer have a very larg responeabilit of paying for a building. A House for Fraternity/Soroity is only a House if that Organization rents it. If not, it is just a building to be let for rent.
