PSOAS strives to provide equal opportunities for all applicants seeking tenancy in our apartments. The following guidelines govern the tenant selection process.
1. Application Processing
Applications are processed in the order they are received and placed in a sequential queue.
2. Application Period of Validity
Applications are valid for 60 days. Applicants can renew their application by contacting the housing office, such as by email (asuntotoimisto@psoas.fi)
3. Eligibility
The applicant must be a student at a post-secondary institution in Oulu (e.g. university, college, junior high school, senior high school, vocational school or equivalent).
4. New Student Prioritization
During the peak period of August-October, new students arriving from outside of Oulu are prioritized in the apartment queue. Internal transfers are not offered during this time. If no new students apply in October, apartments may be offered to other qualified applicants.
5. Academic Restrictions
For state-subsidized housing units, tenant selection must adhere to the prevailing rules and regulations. These regulations require consideration of applicants’ income and asset data when offering tenancy. For example, researchers employed by the University may be offered apartments without state subsidies. Degree-seeking students are always prioritized.
6. Impact of Credit
Applicant’s credit history is reviewed as part of the evaluation process and may affect housing.
