FAQ: housing cooperatives in the canton of Genf

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

Across all providers, 6 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 9 of the 19 providers in the canton of Genf, our directory notes a waiting list, for 7 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.
