FAQ
What are housing cooperatives?
Housing cooperatives are collectively organized housing companies that offer their members secure and affordable housing. In contrast to private housing companies, they do not pursue the goal of maximizing profits, but act in the interests of their members. Anyone wishing to rent an apartment in a cooperative becomes a member and usually acquires cooperative shares. These shares entitle them to use an apartment and give members a say in the management and organization of the cooperative.
