Limited rental time

The maximum rental time is 1 year. However, often accommodation can only be offered for shorter periods due to limited availablity.

Why is the rental time limited?

UAC is intended as a first place to stay when a researcher/student comes from abroad. If you are going to stay for a longer period you are expected to find other accommodation while staying with UAC.
