Housing applications to be resubmitted
We invite all applicants who have submitted their housing application before 25.10.2023 to submit a completely new application.
Do not make any more changes to an old housing application
Earlier, we provided information on the upcoming changes to the tenant selection process, set to be implemented in week 43, and the resulting impact on housing applications.
Under the new process, applications will be evaluated in accordance with the ARA model, which categorizes applicants based on their degree of urgency. Essentially, housing need, financial status, and income will all be treated as equally significant criteria for prioritizing applicants. When selecting tenants, precedence will be granted to those with the most pressing housing requirements and those with limited financial means.
If an applicant needs to make adjustments to an already-submitted application, they must submit an entirely new application. It's important to note that no additional annexes should be appended to existing applications, as this would impede our ability to place applicants in the correct priority category.
