Verification of right of tenancy
Buildings A-J and Q-T in Kortepohja Student Village are so called ARA student housing locations (ARA is the Housing Finance and Development Centre of Finland). Therefore the tenant selection criteria of ARA specifies the tenant selection to these student housing locations.
The right of tenancy in the above-mentioned residential buildings is regularly litigated by Soihtu. We collect the information of the membership of the Student Union of the University of Jyväskylä (JYY) from JYY’s register. The right of tenancy and verification of the right of tenancy has been defined in the terms of tenancy.
If you have received a request from Soihtu to submit a document on your right of tenancy, please follow the instructions below depending on your own situation. Submit the attachment related to your right of tenancy to Soihtu using the attached form.
Note! In fall 2023 the right of tenancy will be inspected in the buildings A-E in Kortepohja Student Village. During the verification, no contract changes will be made to the tenancy agreements of the residential buildings in question at the tenant’s request, until the right of tenancy has been verified.
Since membership of the student union is voluntary for graduate students, we have not found you in the membership register. You must submit a certificate of your studies to Soihtu with the form below by December 31, 2023, if you want to continue living in your apartment after July 31, 2024.
Accepted certificates:
- My Studyinfo link
- a study certificate (max. 3 months old) or
- Kela’s valid study grant decision, which shows the name of the student and the educational institution
If we do not receive the certificate by the deadline, we will send you a termination letter at the beginning of the year, when we will terminate your lease until the end of July 2024. If you want to move out earlier, you can terminate the lease by following the notice period of one calendar month.
For some reason, your information of the membership has not been found when comparing the data. Kindly contact JYY to know more about your membership status.

Congratulations! Since the apartments in question are primarily for students, it is time for you to move out of the Student Village by next fall. There is no rush to look for a new apartment yet, but prepare well in advance to plan the upcoming move. We will deliver you a termination letter at the beginning of the year, when we will terminate your lease until the end of July 2024. If you want to move out earlier, you can terminate the lease by following the notice period of one calendar month.
Please note that you can apply for an apartment in other housing locations of Soihtu; Soihtu Korttelikylä and Soihtu Vehkakuja.
Studies can be interrupted for many reasons: you may have gotten a job, fallen ill, started a family or planned a change of field. Maybe you have given up on your place of study completely. In any case, your studies have been interrupted for so long that your right to study has become passive.
You can continue to live in an ARA student apartment if you have registered as absent for legal reasons. Statutory reasons for absence include military service or voluntary military service and taking maternity, paternity or parental leave. If necessary, health grounds can also be taken into account. If you have interrupted your studies for legal reasons and you want to continue living in the Soihtu apartment after July 31, 2024, please send us an official explanation of your situation by 31st of December 2023.
Otherwise, we will send you a termination letter at the beginning of the year, when we will terminate your lease until the end of July 2024. If you want to move out earlier, you can terminate the lease by following the notice period of one calendar month.
