Grounds for residential selection

We comply with ARA’s guidelines for residential selection, which means that we aim to offer apartments to those who need them the most. We prioritise the homeless and other applicants in a more urgent need, applicants with limited means and low income spend.

Factors that influence tenant selection:

Urgency for an apartment
Life circumstance
Income and assets

Income and assets

When applying for ARA-funded housing, your assets must be within the limits imposed by the state. Check the table of assets and income threshold to see if you can apply for an apartment from M2-Kodit. By assets, we mean, for instance, shares in a housing company, properties, funds and securities.

The easiest way to check your assets is to check your tax return. We will check your tax records if we offer you an apartment.
