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 Bern on Laos.io. As of 5 Nov 2026.

Hear about new apartments in the canton of Bern

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.

FAQ: housing cooperatives in the canton of Bern

How many housing cooperatives are there in the canton of Bern?

Our directory lists 144 housing cooperatives and non-profit landlords in the canton of Bern (as of 5 Nov 2026). The directory is not necessarily complete: very small cooperatives are sometimes missing.

Which cooperatives in the canton of Bern have apartments available?

37 cooperatives currently have active listings on Laos.io, for example FAMBAU Genossenschaft (20), Graphis Bau- und Wohngenossenschaft (13), Logis Suisse AG (12) and Baugenossenschaft Wyttenbach (7). Across all providers, 130 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.

How do I get on a cooperative's waiting list?

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 85 of the 144 providers in the canton of Bern, our directory notes a waiting list, for 73 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.

What is the difference between a building cooperative and a housing cooperative?

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.
