Cooperative flat or classic rental flat? Both have their advantages and disadvantages. This comparison helps you decide.
Rent
Cooperatives work with cost rent and are therefore often considerably cheaper. Market flats are more expensive, but without a capital contribution.
Security
Cooperatives let long-term to their members and do not aim to make a profit. What applies to your flat is stated in the tenancy agreement and in the cooperative's statutes; ask before you sign.
Requirements
Cooperatives require share certificates and sometimes income or occupancy rules. Market flats are more flexibly accessible, but more competitive on price.
