Would you rent a 20-square-meter apartment for 450€ with shower in a different building?
How about one that you'd be required to move in to within 3 days, pay that month's rent (900€) AND a 1800-Euro-fee AND the rent for your previous apartment (since it's probably not going to happen that you could move away with 2-days' notice)?
Well, welcome to Helsinki real estate business. Apparently the rental business is very hot now (because those who owned apartments started selling them a year or two ago because the sale prices were ridiculously high - now that the loan interests are going up, people are suddenly wanting to rent again). Dozens of people show up for open house and try bid against each other to get the apartment.
It's starting to seem very appealing to continue studies forever, just to keep this student apartment, not-quite-perfect as it is.
