How to apply for a rental apartment in a new property

You can only apply for a rental apartment in a new building once the first application period is announced as having commenced. This usually happens around 3–4 months before completion of the apartments.

1. Submit a housing application

Once the application period has commenced, you can submit a rental apartment application on our website. In the application you can state what kind of housing you are looking for or what kind of housing you do not want (e.g. that you do not want a street-level apartment). You can also apply for a particular unit, but your chances of getting an offer will increase if you do not have too many restrictions on what you want or do not want.

The first application period will last at least two weeks. After this, we will select tenants. Those who applied within the first application period will take priority in receiving housing. If there are still unassigned apartments left after the first application period, the vacant apartments may also be applied for after the first application period.

2. Wait for an apartment offer

We aim to select residents immediately after the first application period ends. We will send the first housing offers within a week of the end of the application period.

We follow predefined criteria when selecting tenants for non-profit rental housing.

If you have been selected, our sales representatives will send you a housing offer that meets the search criteria you specified. After receiving your offer, you will have a few days to accept it. If you wish to accept the offer, please follow the instructions in the housing offer and provide us with the requested additional documentation. Our sales representatives will also send you complete instructions for submitting the requested additional documentation.

Unfortunately we cannot offer viewings of units that are under construction.

3. Submit the necessary additional documents

If you are offered a non-profit rental apartment, we will request a number of additional documents when we offer you the apartment. Learn more about the required additional documents.

The additional documents are only required for non-profit rental apartments for which there are income or wealth limits. If there are no such limits, you do not need to submit these additional documents. Our sales representatives will send you complete instructions for submitting the necessary additional documents.

4. Sign your agreement

Agreements are signed during the construction stage, as soon as possible after acceptance of the housing offer. Agreements can be signed either online or in person at our office. Our sales representatives will provide further instructions on where and how you can sign your agreement.

5. Pay the security deposit

Security deposits are generally equivalent to two months’ worth of rent. You will be sent a bank transfer form for the security deposit when the agreement is signed. The security deposit will be due around a month before completion of the apartments.

6. Check your letter of relocation for more information about moving

When signing the agreement, your sales representative will provide you with more information about matters to do with moving.

Completion dates for new-build sites are always only estimates. You will be informed of your final moving date as soon as it is confirmed to us, at the latest one month before completion. As your move approaches, we will send you a letter of relocation, which contains more details about matters to do with moving.
