Waitlists

With a GenossenSchaffen subscription, you will receive an email when an advert for a cooperative flat goes online. Most cooperatives in the greater Zurich area advertise directly on their websites. Anyone who sees the advert can apply and, with a bit of luck, get a flat. However, there are a small number of cooperatives in the greater Zurich area that keep waiting lists. This usually works in such a way that you register and then, as the name suggests, wait. When a flat becomes available, the people on the waiting list are contacted in turn. It can take years to get a flat in this way. If you are not under time pressure or plan early, you can get a co-operative flat through waiting lists. Please note that you often have to renew your waiting list entry every 6 - 12 months.

Please note that some cooperatives own properties within the city of Zurich as well as further outside. These are listed twice. We regularly update the links. Should you find any issues please do not hesitate to contact us.
