Norwegian term

boligaksjeselskap

Norwegian to English Bus/Financial Real Estate
Explanation:
Since 1960 it has been obligatory to establish "borettslag" instead of "boligaksjeselskap". However, there are still many "boligaksjeselskap" that were established before 1960. They are governed by different laws: for "borettslag" it's borettslagsloven and for "boligaksjeselskap" it's aksjeloven.
Proposed translations (English)
4 +2 limited liability housing company
4 housing stock company
4 housing cooperative stock corporation
3 incorporated housing cooperative

Adrian MM. (X) Dec 31, 2011:
LLC Thanks Sven. I have and was unaware of the US hybrid corporate-partnership form of a limited liability co. In the UK, this might be more akin to an LLP - a limited liability partnership. PS The hit musical about the record US corporate bankruptcy of ENRON was written by an English playwright who referred to a company with shares, rather than a corporation with stocks.

Tom Thumb would be well advised to study: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited_liability_company
Adrian MM. (X) Dec 30, 2011:
For a BrE or AmE readership? 2 of the answers use the AmE term stock which, in BrE, is a consolidated chunk of shares. Joint-stock companies went out of the UK a long time ago, but is still going strong in translat(or)ese.

neutral Adrian MM. (X) : I can't see how the term 'parses' - a company holding housing stock or a housing co. limited by (AmE) stock = (BrE) shares.

housing cooperative stock corporation

Yes, it's windy, but it's what used in the translation of husleieloven. See § 13-2 of the act in the links below. In the Norwegian version, the reference appears as a stand-alone sentence. In the English version, it's labelled as subsection (f). The translation also appears at http://www.huseierne.no/Utleie-/Viktige-engelske-ord-og-uttr...

incorporated housing cooperative

Actually, I would simply call it a "housing cooperative," as these take many forms and their form isn't usually identified in their title.
I suppose it would be possible to write "housing cooperative (LTD)" - or housing cooperative (LLC).
