Applying, waiting lists and shares

Applications usually go through membership and the purchase of share certificates, which are repaid when you move out. Whether a waiting list is kept you find out directly from the cooperative. A Wohnify alert reports new listings as soon as they appear.

Apply with a complete application file: a debt enforcement register extract, salary slips and a short letter of motivation are part of it at most cooperatives. Many cooperatives have occupancy rules, such as a minimum number of people per room. The size of the flat should therefore fit your household. Because of the central location it pays to search in neighbouring municipalities such as Dulliken too. If you are moving from another city, clarify early how the cooperative treats members from outside and whether your place of residence plays a role in allocation.

More on shares, waiting lists and income limits is in the Guides on cooperative flats, and an overview of open lists is on the Waiting lists.
