What is a Cooperative?
-
Claridge House’s shareholders, buy shares of the building; they hold the right to occupy and transfer residency of their units upon Claridge House’s management approval.
-
Shareholders pay for the building mortgage, maintenance fees, property taxes, and utilities (if applicable).
Tenants are subject to costs based on their respective sublease agreement between themselves and their shareholder/landlord.
-
Shareholders are individual owners, so they may be more open to negotiating lease duration, rent price, move-in dates, and included utilities. Shareholders often base rent on covering their maintenance fees and mortgage, not on maximizing profit like commercial landlords.
