Cooperative model

This is a cooperative dwelling without real-estate speculation. Rents are cost-covering. Tenants are also co-owners and must invest in cooperative shares; the sum depends on the square meters of the private apartment and is repaid at the end of the tenancy. If no personal assets are available, financing can involve second-pillar capital or the commissioning of third parties to obtain the necessary funds.

The room is listed as "Berber - D3".
