Explanation

In a cooperative, residents own shares in a corporation that holds title to the entire building. Each shareholder receives a proprietary lease entitling them to occupy a specific unit. Unlike condominiums, co-op owners don't own real property — they own corporate shares. Board approval is often required for unit transfers.
