The tenants are able to have their say on how funds are distributed to support tenant activity. What kind of events and other activity Hoas should support and how club rooms should be furnished and equipped.
In the co-operation body the tenants have an opportunity to develop student housing in the best direction they see fit. The co-operation body has been an advocate for international students and brought up issues regarding students’ income.
