The change applies to some of the apartments rented by the VAV group.<\/p>\n<p>The VAV Group owns around 9 300 apartments built with state support and rented by VAV Asunnot Oy. These apartments will be affected by the change in January.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the change will affect the selection of residents in VAV Palvelukodit Oy&#8217;s service homes, which are mainly run by <a href=\"https:\/\/vakehyva.fi\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Wellbeing services county of Vantaa and Kerava<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The selection of tenants for rental homes built with state support is carried out in accordance with the principles laid down by law. This means that priority is given to applicants with the most urgent housing needs, the least well-off and those with the lowest incomes.<\/p>\n<p>There are already <a href=\"https:\/\/vav.fi\/asunnon-hakijalle\/953-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">asset limits<\/a> for ARA rental housing. From the beginning of 2025, income limits will also guide the selection of tenants.<\/p>\n<h2>The new criterion comes from the government programme<\/h2>\n<p>An additional criterion will be included in Prime Minister <strong>Petteri Orpo<\/strong>&#8216;s government programme. The background to this is the government&#8217;s concern that ARA housing is not being properly allocated. In future, an ARA dwelling will only be rented to a person or household whose income does not exceed a specified maximum.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is not a big change for us. The administrative work involved in selecting tenants will only increase slightly,&#8221; says <strong>Mirka Saarholma<\/strong>, Managing Director of the VAV Group.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our apartments are already very well targeted, as they are rented to low-income Vantaa residents. For example, the average household income of a single person applying for an apartment with us is around EUR 1 600 and the average combined income of two people is EUR 2 500-2 700.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Income limits governing the choice of tenants<\/h2>\n<p>In the future, the income of a single person in a household must not exceed \u20ac3 540 per month.<\/p>\n<p>If there are several adults in the household, the income limit for each adult will rise to \u20ac2 480.<\/p>\n<p>If there are children under 18 in the household, the income limit rises to \u20ac650 for the first child and \u20ac600 for each subsequent child.<\/p>\n<h3>Examples of income limits:<\/h3>\n<table class=\"wp-editor-table\" width=\"820\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>People in the household<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Income limit<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1 adult<\/td>\n<td>3 540 \u20ac<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2 adult<\/td>\n<td>6 020 \u20ac<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1 adult and 1 child<\/td>\n<td>4 190 \u20ac<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2 adult and 1 child<\/td>\n<td>6 670 \u20ac<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2 adult and 2 child<\/td>\n<td>7 270 \u20ac<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Income limits do not apply to all VAV rental homes<\/h2>\n<p>The income limits do not apply to rental housing rented by the VAV Yhtym\u00e4, which is owned by the VAV Group.
