Answer: Cooperative Ownership

Explanation: In a cooperative ownership, the buyer receives shares of stock in the building corporation and a lease or assignment of the seller's lease of the apartment being sold. A cooperative is an autonomous association of persons united voluntarily to meet their common economic, social, and cultural needs and aspirations through a jointly-owned and democratically-controlled enterprise. Buying a house or renting an apartment aren't the only living arrangements available in the marketplace. Housing cooperatives, colloquially known as co-ops, provide an alternative to the traditional methods of acquiring a primary residence.
