Filling in an application

Apply for housing by filling in an electronic application form. Your application is valid for three months, and you can update and extend its validity at any time through the applicant's online service.

We have introduced a new housing application form. 

Submit a new application immediately or by March 31, 2024, at the latest, and your housing application will continue without interruption. All housing applications submitted from March 13, 2024, onwards will be saved in the new system and will be valid for three months.


Due to the large number of applicants, we cannot offer an apartment to everyone. Hence, our most important advice is: 

Fill out the application carefully. 

  1. Before filling out the housing application, check the wealth limits for ARA rental apartments. If your wealth exceeds the limits, explore our non-subsidised rental housing. If the limits are not exceeded, fill out a housing application.
  2. On the housing application, you can express preferences related to the apartment's location, size, rent amount, and equipment. If we offer you an apartment, it will be based on the information and preferences in your application. Therefore, it is important that you carefully select your preferences.
  3. Fill in the details of all persons moving into the apartment.
  4. The electronic application is activated immediately after submission, while a paper application is activated within two weeks of its receipt.
  5. The application is valid for three months. You will receive an email confirmation that your application has been received and until when the application is valid.
     
Please note that a call to our customer service will not help you in getting any housing offers quicker. We cannot provide any interim information as regards the applications. We serve all our customers equally and also take into account applicants who are unable to contact us when making the tenant selections.
