Housing
Wohnungsgenossenschaft
Housing Cooperative
Simple Definition
Non-profit housing offering cheaper rents but requiring active participation.
Why this matters to Expats.
Hard to get into (waitlists). Rents are cost-based (very low). Requires buying "Share Capital" instead of a deposit.
Securing a Rental?
The market is tough. Get an edge with professional relocation assistance or deposit insurance.
