All flats are stated in gross m2; gross m2 includes all shared areas like stairways, hallway, elevator etc.
For some flats you can find the netto m2 on the floor plan on our website.
The waiting list system - how does it all work?
How does it all work?
Basically this is how it all works:
You register on our website.
You add the student flats you wish to apply for to your application.
You are now on the waiting lists for these student flats.
6 weeks before your requested date for moving in you will become active and able to recieve offers.
When you are first on the waiting list for an available flat we will send the offer to your mailbox.
Be sure to give us your answer within the given deadline, otherwise your application is deactivated.
If you say yes to an offer we inform the housing association that the flat is yours.
The housing association sends you the contract, inform you about payment, where to get the keys to the flat etc.
What is the waiting list system?
There is a waiting list for each type of flat. The waiting lists are controlled by a point system, where applicants with the highest score of points are placed at the top of the waiting lists.
Applicants who live outside of Kolding get geographical starter points; this means that the further away from Kolding you live, the more starter points you get.
When your application is active you make 1 point per day. An application is active 6 weeks prior to the requested date for moving in.
When you add the flats you wish to apply for you will be on the waiting lists for these flats.
Why am I moving up or down the waiting list?
You move up the waiting list when applicants, who are ahead of you, disappear from the waiting list because they have either been offered a flat, or have accepted a flat or their application is deactivated.
You move down the waiting list when applicants with a higher score of points than you choose to apply for the same flats as you.
For instance:
Applicants with a high score of starter points, who make a new application.
Applicants who have been applying for a longer period than you and have chosen to apply for the same flats as you.
Students from abroad have the highest score of starter points and when their applications are active (6 weeks before their requested date of moving in). You will see big variations on the waiting lists.
How long will I have to wait before I get a student flat?
The demand for student flats is at its highest around July, August and September and that shows on the waiting lists. To increase your chances for getting a flat in this period it is a very good idea to apply for as many flats as possible. Later on in the year, when the busiest time is over, chances are better for getting a flat.
Will I advance on the waiting list for a student flat if I have nowhere to live?
No, the allocation of student flats follow the waiting list rules.
Termination of flats
Termination of your flat must always be done directly to the housing association that owns the flat.
