Income limits have been introduced for the selection of tenants for state-subsidised rental housing from the start of 2025. These income limits apply to new tenant selections and also to inte al flat swaps within the same landlord’s portfolio. For the purposes of these income limits, we require the following documents from selected tenants:

Income Statement

• Pay slip or payslip
• Other financial reports, e.g.
  • A statement from Kela or the pension provider regarding pensions paid
  • Kela’s statement regarding student financial aid paid
  • A statement from Kela or a trade union regarding daily allowances paid

Latest tax certificate

• The tax certificate shows the person’s ea ed income, assets and liabilities for the tax year
• Every taxpayer will receive a tax certificate either with their pre-filled tax retu in the spring or in conjunction with their most recent tax assessment in the autumn. 

Any other attachments

• You may also attach to your application any other documents that you consider important or necessary and which may be seen as supporting your need for housing.

Criteria for selecting residents

Tenants are selected in accordance with the tenant selection criteria. Tenant selection is based on social appropriateness and financial need. In practice, these factors are assessed by taking into account the applicant’s housing needs, assets and income.

In the allocation of housing, priority is given to the homeless and other households with the most urgent housing needs, as well as those with the fewest resources and the lowest incomes. Exceptions may be made to this order of priority, as laid down in the Gove ment Decree, in individual cases.

An entry on your credit record will not prevent you from being allocated a flat, but if you have outstanding rent arrears with Keuruun Asunnot or any other landlord, you will not be allocated a flat.
