Residential committee members appointed for 2024
At the beginning of the upcoming year, we will conduct training sessions for the new residents’ committees. These sessions will cover the essentials of the Act on Joint Management of Rental Buildings and guide the residents in managing the resident budget. This training session is new and replaces the former training of castle wardens. The chairs of the residents’ committees are automatically nominated as members of the housing cooperation body.
The term of the new residents’ committees will begin in January 2024. The names of the committee chairs will be updated on both the website and the notice boards of the buildings at the beginning of the year.

Government cuts put a stop to the construction of student housing
We are shocked by the recent cuts of the Finnish Government which put student housing and its construction at stake. In its session on spending limits, the Government made significant cuts to the special group investment grants for student housing construction, which makes the commencement of already planned housing projects in the capital region uncertain and complicates the housing situation for students as well as the housing activities of the Aalto University Student Union (AYY).
