SCHEDULE A TO THE RULES
THIS OCCUPANCY AGREEMENT is SCHEDULE A to the Rules of Ford Road Housing Co‑op and is effective as and from the date on which the Rules come into effect and governs
FORD ROAD HOUSING CO‑OP, a co‑operative association incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia,
(the “Co‑op”)
- AND -
Each member of the Co‑op in respect of the residential housing unit assigned to the member on the records of the Co‑op
(the “Member”)
in relation to use and occupation of certain residential premises.
WHEREAS:
The Co‑op has been incorporated under the Cooperative Association Act of British Columbia (the “Act”) as a not for profit housing co‑operative for the purposes of acquiring and leasing residential housing units on land by the Co‑op and more particularly known and described as: Lots 4, 5 and 6, Section 36, Block 6 NOrth, Range 1 East, Plan 928 NWD 18975, 19041 and 19675 Ford Road Pitt Meadows, B.C. (the “Lands”) with the intent that the members of the Co‑op may lease the residential housing units thereon (the “Development”);
This occupancy agreement (the “Occupancy Agreement”) is granted to the Member, subject to and under the memorandum of association of the Co‑op (the “Memorandum of Association”) and the Rules of the Co‑op (the “Rules”), to which this Occupancy Agreement is scheduled, of the Co‑op.
The right of the Member to possession or occupancy of a residential housing unit assigned to the Member hereunder is dependent upon the Member complying with in all respects the obligations of the Member under this Occupancy Agreement and continuing to be a member in the Co‑op and to hold the number of shares of the Co‑op (the “Shares”) required by the Rules.
This Occupancy Agreement and the term hereby created shall be subject to the conditions herein set forth, and at the option of the Co‑op, shall cease and determine upon any breach of or failure by the Member to observe or comply with any of the obligations of the Member herein.
The term of the Occupancy Agreement and possession of the Unit by the Member is subject to:
[a] the terms and conditions set out in the Rules and policies of the Co‑op from time to time;
[b] relevant and applicable zoning, health, or other laws of the municipal, provincial, or federal governments; andandandand
[c] the terms and conditions of any mortgages or other agreements between the Co‑op and any federal, provincial or municipal authority .
If an order of foreclosure is made by any court of competent jurisdiction foreclosing the interest of the Co‑op in the Lands or the Development, this Occupancy Agreement shall thereupon immediately cease and be void and of no effect.
The Directors shall have the right to terminate the Occupancy Agreement if the Member is declared bankrupt, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or a receiver of the Member's property is appointed, or the Member's Shares in the Co‑op are claimed, seized or charged under any legal or equitable process, or sold pursuant to any agreement whereby the Shares were attempted to have been pledged as collateral security.
No trustee or receiver of the Member or the Member's Shares or person claiming any interest in the Shares pursuant to any bankruptcy assignment, pledge or security is entitled to any right to or possession of the Unit.
The Co‑op leases to the Member for the term (the “Term”), commencing with the date on which occupancy of the Unit is granted by the Co‑op to the Member and ending with the earliest of the withdrawal from, termination or cessation of membership of the Member and the death of the Member, subject always to earlier termination as herein provided, the residential housing unit assigned to the Member on the records of the Co‑op or subsequently assigned to the Member (the “Unit”).
The Co‑op hereby grants to the Member during the Term, in common with the other members of the Co‑op, the non-exclusive use for their proper purpose, the entrance, passageways, roadways, sidewalks, common grounds and other common areas of the Development throughout the Term.
If the Member shall cease to be entitled to occupy the Unit, the right of persons in the Member's household, whether or not members of the Co‑op and all other persons occupying or visiting in the premises, to continue to occupy or use the Unit shall cease and determine at the same time and without further notice being required.
The Member shall be entitled during the Term of this Occupancy Agreement to the use of one (1) parking space for use for parking of vehicles owned by the Member or persons residing with the Member.
The Member agrees to comply with Co‑op policies concerning parking allocations, recreational vehicles, and guest parking, as are applicable from time to time.
The Member shall pay the Co‑op on the first day of each and every month, commencing on the first day of the month of occupancy (or if occupancy occurs on a day other than the first day of the month then the first payment shall be on the day of occupancy), during the term of the Occupancy Agreement, a housing charge as determined and assessed by the Co‑op from time to time (the “Housing Charge”) and notified to the Member in writing.
The Member shall pay when due to the Co‑op the Housing Charge, any additional or supplemental charge and any other amounts due to the Co‑op under this Occupancy Agreement to the Co‑op at the office of the Co‑op or at such other place as the Co‑op may from time to time designate in writing, and in the form and manner determined by the Directors of the Co‑op with no right of set-off or abatement under any circumstances.
From time to time the Directors of the Co‑op shall set and recommend to the members of the Co‑op the monthly Housing Charge payable hereunder by estimating the amount of money which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors shall be required by the Co‑op during each fiscal year for the maintenance of the corporate existence of the Co‑op and the carrying charges on the Lands and the Development, including taxes, and the sums in lieu of taxes, licenses, assessments, insurance, costs and adequate reserves for repairs, replacements, upkeep, maintenance and operation, and all other fees, costs and expenses incurred in the management of the Lands and the Development, and also including the amount, if any, as may be required to meet any deficit in the preceding fiscal year, all of which shall be approved by ordinary resolution at a general meeting of the Co‑op, subject to the requirements as to approval by any federal, provincial or municipal agency or authority having jurisdiction.
If the members of the Co‑op, by ordinary resolution at a general meeting of the Co‑op, approve a levy to raise additional funds for any purpose, the Co‑op may levy and collect an additional sum from the Member, which sum shall be payable by the Member upon notice to the Member.

Notice by the Member shall not excuse the Member from any obligation hereunder and shall be without prejudice to an action or proceeding which the Co‑op may wish to undertake including termination of this Occupancy Agreement.
If the Member's cheque for monthly Housing charges is returned for non‑payment or as otherwise unacceptable by the Member's banking institution the Member will be deemed to have failed to make payment of Housing Charges as required hereunder and shall be cause for termination of membership by the Directors and termination of this Occupancy Agreement and upon such termination, the Member shall vacate the Unit. In addition the Member shall be liable for bank charges incurred in the processing of the returned cheques and any penalties or fines set by the Directors.
If the Member's cheque is returned as contemplated in Subsection 4.09 the Member shall, unless excused in writing by the Directors, make all future payments of Housing Charges and supplemental and additional charges by bank draft or money order payable to the Co‑op.

The Member agrees to pay for all Shares of the Co‑op required to be subscribed and paid for at the date of occupancy of the Unit or in accordance with a payment plan agreed to by the Co‑op. If the Member fails to pay for the Shares as and when required, this Occupancy Agreement shall be null and void and the Member shall immediately cease to be a Member of the Co‑op and agrees to immediately surrender possession of the Unit as directed by the Directors.
The Directors may make calls on the Member for any of the money unpaid on the Shares and a call is deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorizing the call was passed.

The sum payable to the Member from the sale of Shares pursuant to Subsection 19.01 above, after satisfying the Co‑op's lien pursuant to Subsection 19.03, or if the Co‑op elects, the redemption proceeds shall be determined by the Co‑op, and shall not in any case, exceed the amount the Member has paid for the Shares.
If the amount realized on the sale of Shares pursuant to Section 19 is insufficient to fully satisfy all indebtedness by the Member to the Co‑op, any balance of the indebtedness shall be due and payable by the Member immediately upon notice notwithstanding that this Occupancy Agreement has terminated.
The rights and remedies hereby created are cumulative and are in addition to all common law and statutory rights and remedies, and the use of one remedy shall not be taken to exclude or waive the right to the use of another, and said remedies may be proceeded under simultaneously or successively.
Any failure by the Co‑op to terminate this Occupancy Agreement or the Member's membership because of any breach by the Member of any of the provisions hereof or any extension of time granted to the Member for the payments of any amount due under the provisions of the Occupancy Agreement, shall not in any way be construed as a waiver of any of the Co‑op's rights hereunder or as an implied future waiver or extension on any subsequent default by the Member.
The failure of the Co‑op to insist in one or more instances upon a strict performance of the Member of any covenant herein contained, or the failure of the Co‑op to exercise any right or option herein contained, or to serve any notice, or to institute any action or proceeding hereunder, or to terminate the Occupancy Agreement, shall not be construed to be a waiver or relinquishment for the future of such covenant, option or right, but, on the contrary, every such covenant, option and right shall continue and remain in full force and effect.
The receipt by the Co‑op of any sum due by the Member, with the knowledge on the Co‑op's part of any breach by the Member of any term, covenant or provisions hereof shall not constitute a waiver of the breach, and the Co‑op shall not under any circumstances be considered to have waived any breach unless the waiver shall have been expressed in writing signed by two of the Co‑op's officers pursuant to authority thereunder given by a resolution approved by the Co‑op's Directors.
If in the opinion of the Directors the Member has ceased to occupy the Unit as the principal residence of the Member during the term of the Occupancy Agreement, the Co‑op may terminate this Occupancy Agreement or, at its option, without terminating the Occupancy Agreement, enter into the Unit and re-let the same, for the account of the Member, and upon terms and conditions satisfactory to the Co‑op; and for the purpose of the re-letting, the Co‑op may make any decorations, repairs, restorations, changes, alterations or additions in or to the Unit that may be necessary or convenient, and if a sufficient sum is not realized every month from the re-letting after paying all the costs and expenses of the repairs, restorations, changes, alterations, additions or decorations, and expenses of the re-letting and the collections of the Housing Charges accruing therefrom each month, to satisfy the monthly installments, Housing Charges, or assessments above provided to be paid by the Member, then the Member shall satisfy and pay the deficiency each month upon demand.
The Co‑op shall pay insurance premiums on policies of insurance required to be held by the Co‑op in accordance with this Occupancy Agreement, and shall pay the mortgage interest and principal amounts due and owing by the Co‑op from time to time.
The Co‑op shall maintain and manage the Development, keeping the same and the grounds surrounding in good condition, and repair, free from obstruction, and shall keep the passageways, roads, sidewalks and common grounds in good repair and order and well lighted.
The Co‑op shall keep in good repair the foundations, walls, supports, roof, gutters, beams, pipes, electrical conduits and other equipment or machinery required for the proper operation of the Development and the Co‑op may, upon notice as herein required, enter into and upon any portion of the Unit for any of the purposes aforesaid.
The Co‑op shall keep the Development insured (except that this does not include insurance of personal property of the Member) against loss or damage by fire and other perils as the Directors in their discretion may determine, and in case any of the Development shall be partially damaged by fire or otherwise, the Co‑op shall have the same repaired as speedily as possible at the Co‑op's expense and in conformity with the plans and specifications on which the Development was erected, except as may be required by law or by special resolution of the members, and subject to the provisions of any mortgage charging the Lands. In the case of destruction of substantially all of the Development or total destruction of the Development by fire or otherwise, this Occupancy Agreement shall thereupon terminate unless the insurers shall elect to rebuild and shall rebuild the Development within a reasonable time, in which event the Occupancy Agreement shall continue in force with respect to corresponding premises in the Development so rebuilt, and all assessments herein provided for shall cease from the time of such destruction and until such rebuilding shall have been completed, subject always to the provisions of any mortgage charging the Lands, the provisions of any head lease and all laws having application.
The Co‑op shall have an appraisal made of any damage done to each Unit by reason of fire or otherwise, and shall expend any insurance moneys collected by the Co‑op proportionately in repairing such damage in accordance with the ratio shown by the appraisal, subject however, to the provisions of any mortgage charging the Lands and Development.
