There is no public statistic for St. Gallen that separates cooperative and market rents. Cooperatives let at cost-based rent; the prices are in the listing. On the cooperatives' profiles you find the way to the website and, where known, to the waiting list.

Applying, waiting lists and shares

Membership and the purchase of share certificates are usually a condition for moving in. You get the share certificates back when you move out. Some St. Gallen cooperatives keep a waiting list, others advertise flats at short notice. An alert covers the second group.

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. Note that many cooperatives have occupancy rules, such as a minimum number of people per room. The size of the flat should therefore fit your household. You will find a template in our application letter guide.

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.
