Condos and co-ops usually have some upfront move-in fees, elevator reservation fees, move-in deposits, etc. The + is that for equivalent rent you usually get nicer neighbors and higher quality units through condos and co-ops vs. rental buildings.

From a tenant’s perspective, there isn’t too much difference. Typically comes down to the HOA presence in the building. Regular apartments with a management company or single landlord won’t have an HOA in place.

Condos and co-ops have HOAs with Boards that typically put in place much stricter rules/regulations for anyone living in the building (owners or tenants). If you are looking to rent either of these, I would just ask to see the HOAs rules upfront so you know how extensive they are

In apartments you are renting in a rental building/complex/community from a landlord that is likely to be a company. Whereas a condo or co-op is rented from the owner, which is likely to be an individual, of that unit and you will live in a building/complex/community mixed with owner-occupants and renters.

Co-ops / condo somewhat higher quality and more likely to have free gym. Application process / fees are a pain though
