System update in Domo on Wednesday 16th of January
Domo system will be updated on Wednesday the 16th of January and the system will be out of use for an hour starting 4 p.m. During the downtime it is not possible to accept apartment offers or renew applications so now is a good time to log into Domo system and check that everything is in order.
During the downtime the system will also update the order of the applications made for Miestentie 2 and Jämeräntaival 3 C apartments. This means that the order of the applications will change. Before the apartments were offered, the order of the applications was raffled. Now that all the apartments have been offered, the placement of the applications in the queues will be based on the scoring and the submission date of the application. Therefore your application’s place in the queue can change considerably on Wednesday.

Good news for residents in shared apartments: Here’s how you can receive your own housing allowance while living in a friends’ apartment!
A joint liability rental agreement may affect the housing allowance, as Kela typically grants only one housing allowance for a shared household, which is influenced by the income of both residents. However, residents in friends’ apartments may receive separate housing allowances if Kela reviews them as separate households. This requires tenants with a joint liability rental agreement to draft a mutual possession agreement for the apartment and submit it as an appendix with their housing allowance application to Kela. Tenants draft the possession agreement by themselves.
