Developer proposes rent-to-own model to improve housing access in Slovakia

A Slovak developer has suggested that combining rental agreements with future ownership opportunities could help address housing accessibility issues in the country. Under the proposed cooperative housing model, members would contribute to paying off the housing cooperative's loan while gaining the right to use their apartment. This arrangement would allow residents to build toward eventual ownership while initially renting, potentially making housing more accessible to those who cannot afford immediate purchase but want long-term security.
