Housing co-operatives

A housing co-operative is run for and by its tenant members. It’s similar to a housing association but co-operative tenants actively manage their homes and communities.

You have to be a member of the co-operative to live in a co-op home. They usually have a one-off joining fee and you must attend a monthly meeting, as a minimum, to help with the management of your co-operative.

Only you and your neighbours can be members of your co-operative. You all have equal rights and an equal say in how your co-operative is run.
