All our apartments available from August and September are currently booked. We can only offer housing if apartments become available due to terminations. You can wait for apartments to become available for October and November.
We ask applicants to submit their housing applications for AYY student housing despite the full capacity in September. Submitted applications remain valid, and we will offer apartments to applicants as they become available.
Unfortunately, AYY does not offer emergency accommodation. If necessary, you can seek a temporary housing solution from other housing providers. Applications for AYY student accommodation are made via the Domo system.

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.
