Complete the housing application carefully

Resident selection is made as based on the information you provide in your application. Therefore, consider carefully which preferences you set regarding the size, features, and location of the flat. You will not be offered flats that do not match the wishes you state in your application. For example, if you apply only for flats with a balcony, you will not be offered flats without one. The same applies to your preferred location. Selecting as wide an area as possible will improve your chances of receiving a housing offer. Similarly, if you want a flat only in a specific area, limit your search accordingly.

When completing the application, you will be asked for your income and asset information. You can find your income details on your payslip or the income register extract, which you can obtain from the OmaVero service. Asset details can be found in your tax decision and its breakdown. Equivalent information is also required for any other adult applicant moving with you.

Assets include, for example, flats, properties, savings, listed shares and mutual fund units, as well as land assets, such as forest plots or shares in them. You can ask an estate agent for the value of a flat or property. The balance of a savings account or possible share values can be shown with a copy from online banking. Asset limits vary by municipality.
