Rent increases in March – changes also in some usage fees
Verifying the budget of the housing locations of Soihtu for the year 2024, the representatives of the Student Union of the University of Jyväskylä and the board of Soihtu business unit have agreed on the rent charged in Student Village and Soihtu Vehkakuja from March 1st, 2024. The raise will be 1,5 – 3,0 % / month depending on the apartment building and apartment type. The raises have become necessary because of the increase of interest and loan management costs and the general increase of maintenance costs.
