Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Rental cohousing?

[Judy C (cantwelldemacz]

Chat GPT Open AI  spilled out the following answer:


Cohousing communities with a majority of renters are relatively rare, as
many cohousing models are based on ownership. However, there are a few
examples in Europe where renters are the majority or at least have a
significant presence:

   1.

   *Sieben Linden Ecovillage (Germany)*: While primarily an ownership
   model, Sieben Linden offers rental options for those who prefer not to buy
   property.
   2.

   *Cohousing Projects in Denmark*: Denmark has a robust cohousing
   movement, and some projects offer rental units. For example, the
   "Bofællesskab" model often includes rental options.
   3.

   *La Borda (Spain)*: Located in Barcelona, this cooperative housing
   project includes a significant number of rental units, allowing for more
   flexible living arrangements.
   4.

   *Collective Housing Sweden (Kollektivhus)*: Sweden has a long tradition
   of collective housing, and many of these projects include rental units,
   such as Färdknäppen in Stockholm.
   5.

   *Mietshäuser Syndikat (Germany)*: This network supports collective
   housing projects, many of which offer rental units. Examples include the
   housing projects in Freiburg and Tübingen.

These communities are examples of how cohousing can incorporate rental
options, making them accessible to a broader range of people
