          Ah, a housing cooperative is where everyone who lives on the property has an ownership stake in the property. There’s a bunch of different ways to organize it, but that’s the general idea. You don’t have a landlord so much a neighbors that you make decisions with when something needs to get done that will impact multiple owners. Anything that only impacts your own space is totally your call.

      And that is exactly the point. In a housing cooperative the owner is the homeowners association of which all tenents are members. If done right that means cheap rents and decent upkeep, as soon as the debts are paid off.
