Type: from the name – foundation, municipality, company or association where the name shows it, otherwise cooperative (not verified against the commercial register). Apartments: total number of apartments as stated by the provider, all cantons (– = unknown). * Waiting list noted: an entry in our directory, not checked individually – whether the provider keeps a list, and for whom (often only existing tenants), is stated on its own website; a link, where given, is the sign-up link on record, not checked by us (– = none noted). Active listings / listings: the provider's listings in the canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden on Laos.io. As of 5 Nov 2026.
Instead of checking every cooperative's website: Laos.io collects their listings. With a search alert and Premium (CHF 15 a month, 5-day free trial) you get new apartments by e-mail or WhatsApp as soon as we pick them up; without Premium, new listings become visible on Laos.io after 24 hours.
Set up a search alertOur directory lists 14 housing cooperatives and non-profit landlords in the canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden (as of 5 Nov 2026). The directory is not necessarily complete: very small cooperatives are sometimes missing.
4 cooperatives currently have active listings on Laos.io, for example Wohnbaugenossenschaft Hemetli (5), Wohnbaugenossenschaft St. Gallen (1), Alterswohnungen (1) and Genossenschaft Alterssiedlung Kronenwiese (1). Across all providers, 8 listings for cooperative apartments in the canton are active, including listings from property portals. Check with the landlord whether an apartment is still available. Listings are often only online briefly – a search alert tells you about new ones.
Whether a provider keeps a waiting list, and for whom, is stated on its own website – some lists are only open to existing tenants or members, others are closed, and many providers let apartments only through listings. For 8 of the 14 providers in the canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden, our directory notes a waiting list, for 5 of them with a sign-up link (not checked individually). Where a list is open, you usually register online or by e-mail and may have to confirm your registration regularly.
In everyday use both terms mean the same: a cooperative that builds or buys apartments and lets them to its members at cost rent, without a profit margin. Names such as housing, residential or estate cooperative usually also refer to non-profit housing providers.
