Waiting lists for cooperatives

Most cooperatives in the greater Zurich area advertise online. Potential tenants can apply and, with a bit of luck, get hold of an apartment. However, there are a small number of cooperatives in the greater Zurich area which have waiting lists. This usually works by signing in and then, just as the name says, waiting. If an apartment is vacant, the people on the cooperative's waiting list will be contacted in turn. It can take years before you get an apartment like this. Anyone who is not under time pressure or plans early can get to an apartment through the waiting list of a cooperative.

Watch out: The entry on the cooperative's waiting list often has to be renewed every 6 - 12 months.
