On August 1, 2017 the Claridge House Cooperative Inc. refinanced its existing corporate loans with a 3.94% 20-year term loan with John Hancock. The balance of the underlying mortgage assigned to each unit is constant and cannot be paid off.

Shareholders provide copy of each new lease to the Management Office for approval. Leases must have a term of 6 months or longer. However, Shareholders are permitted one lease per year with no regard to the term. Move in fee of $350 applies for each new lease.

The cooperative has enjoyed a net surplus over the last couple of years. The reserve funding is aggressive and meets or exceeds the capital requirements set forth in our 2024 reserve study. The Claridge House Board and Management Team have accomplished this through expanded in house services which included the hiring of a master plumber and a strict adherence to the annual budget.
