Secure collective housing with Mietshäuser Syndikat

Buy the building together and keep it off the market

The Mietshäuser Syndikat helps self-organised house projects in Germany: residents form a cooperative, the syndicate takes a stake, and the building stays permanently out of speculative resale.

What you can do

• Read how the Syndikat model withdraws homes from the private market
• Contact the network if your group is forming a self-organised house project
• Visit an existing project to see how residents share costs, repairs, and decision-making

How it works

A founding group finds a building, sets up a limited-liability housing cooperative, and invites the syndicate to co-own a non-voting share. That lock keeps the property community-held even when individual flats change hands.

Why it matters

Collective ownership turns rent pressure into shared stewardship. Neighbours who control their block can invest in efficiency, childcare, and common rooms together.
