Hi everyone!
I am new here, so first of all, hello, I am Renée, from Brazil and living in Finland for (exactly!) three years now. I live with my Finnish husband and a big cat in a student apartment in Jyväskylä.
I've decided to join the forum because I don't know what else to do to find a new place! I am graduating now in mid-September and we need to move away from our student home Jyväskylä asap. My husband is not a student anymore, so no chance we can get a student home any time in the near future.
We started sending applications for finding a new apartment in Helsinki to all sorts of places already in June, and no offers so far! We've sent it to all the obvious providers we could find: Ilmarinen, SATO, VVO, Avara, Helsingin kaupunki, S-Asunnot Oy, and Nuorisosäätiö. Finding one from private people is possible, but unfortunately we cannot afford the deposits that exceed our tiny budget.
We need a place that is as close as possible to the city centre, or a place that has at least ok tram/metro connections. Does anybody know what else we could try? Any rent provider that we have bypassed in our search?
I thank you very much for any feedback or help or suggestion
