ALSO GOOD TO KNOW:

Apartments with a friend (shared apartments): rarely available in Centrum and Kaleva areas, there are also many applicants for these. It is easiest to get one from Hervanta or Lukonmäki area.

Family apartments, usually three-room apartments have fewer applicants than two-room apartments. 1 room family apartments usually have fewer applicants. There are only a few 4 room apartments (in Markuksentori, Pekola and Ismonraitti), they rarely become vacant.

New and renovated locations, waiting times are usually the longest, because there are many applicants and apartments are rarely available.

In family apartments, applicants with a child/children are prioritized and therefore waiting times are shorter.
