They must meet several conditions when applying for start-up flats. They can also apply for more than one apartment at a time. “They are designed for couples, whether unmarried, married or registered. Both must be less than thirty-five years old and their combined net monthly income must not exceed 60,625 crowns. We are accepting applications at the Brno City Hall filing office until Thursday, February 3, “said Radka Loukotová from the press center of the Brno City Hall.
Starting housing is primarily intended for families with children or married couples. New tenants are selected by lot. “The priority basket is spouses and families with children, which we lose first. Mostly it gets to everyone. The other couples will be drawn later, “explained Jiří Oliva, the mayor’s deputy for housing and property management.

In the last two years, the number of start-up flats in Brno has more than doubled. There are still four times fewer than applicants. People are attracted by preferential rents. “There are currently one hundred and fifty such flats in Brno. I am glad that we have almost tripled their number in two years, because in 2020 we only had sixty. We still have about four people for one apartment. The rent is around sixty-five crowns per square meter, “said the deputy.
The average size of apartments is about sixty square meters. “These are mostly smaller to medium-sized flats in new buildings, for example at Vojtová 30, Dukelská 88, Valchařská 13 and 14, or in completely renovated houses at Mostecká 12, Plynárenské 8 or Podnásepní 2. We have larger three-room flats in older historic houses in Masaryk and Beethoven. , but these are rather exceptions, “said Oliva.

Brno councilors plan to gradually expand this type of housing in the city. “For this year, we are doing the Lomená 48 project in Brno-South. The exact number of new flats has not yet been approved by the councilors, “added the deputy.
According to Marie Hlaváčková, start-up flats are useful due to high rental prices in Brno. “In the long run, this type of housing will be needed, thanks to the current crisis of the middle class, which will not reach for mortgages. The conditions for obtaining a starting apartment look convincing at first glance and it is better than roommates, “praised the young woman.
