Important information for applicants:

1. 1. No studios, family apartments or shared apartments available
      • All our apartments have currently been offered. All the apartments that are terminated during September will only become vacant from 1ˢᵗ November. Unfortunately, we cannot promise an offer to all applicants, and we recommend that you apply for accommodation from other housing providers as well.
   2. Website’s Apartment search not real-time
      • If you see an available apartment in our Apartment search, it is likely already offered to someone else. Please do not select individual apartments for your application at this time of year. Instead, submit a broad application.
   3. Kuopas has no queues
      • According to ARA regulations, the urgency of housing need, stable monthly income, and assets determine tenant selection and the speed of getting an apartment. This means that each applicant’s situation is individually assessed, and an apartment cannot be directly offered to those requesting it.
   4. The apartment application cannot be modified
      • If you want to add areas or change information, please submit a new application. New application always replaces any possible previous applications of yours. As Kuopas doesn’t have queues, the date of submission of the housing application does not affect the housing offer.
   5. Housing situation in September and October
      • We aim to offer an apartment or room you have applied for. However, our apartments are already limited at this time of year, so we cannot always send an offer for the exact property you applied for. Therefore, we may offer an apartment/room that closely matches your criteria.
   6. Submit a broad application
      • Remember to choose as many different areas and addresses as possible in your application. This increases your chances of receiving an apartment offer. Check the Applying guide for more detailed instructions.
