Rent increases in March 1,5 – 2,5 %
The Student Union Council of Representatives of the University of Jyväskylä, when approving the budget for Kortepohja Student Village, and the board of Soihtu business unit, when approving the budgets for Soihtu Vehkakuja and Soihtu Korttelikylä, have agreed on an average rent increase of 1.5–2.5% per month for the year 2025, depending on the apartment building and apartment type.
