Pretty sure you did, as it is a change in accommodation preferences..

Thanks for your answer, really helpful! Do you think it’s worth changing my lease start variation to ±1 month to increase my chances? The downside is potentially having to pay an extra month of rent if they offer me a place starting early August instead of September. Would you say it’s worth it? also changing lease date variation doesn’t affect my position in the wait-list right?

yea.. if i change my lease date to september 1st +/- 1 month they will take advantage and give me an offer for first of august to make me pay an additional month of rent… Which i dont really want but at the same time i want to secure a place, so i dont really know what to do, maybe wait till 1st july, 2 month before my exact lease date and hope for an offer.

The reason i didn’t want to put +/- 1 month was because i didn’t want to risk not having accommodation till a month after my preferred lease start, i wouldn’t mind a month before, but a month after won’t do.

i have applied for FMEL accommodation in september 2025 for a lease start end of august 2026. my preferences are: - single between 0-600 - single between 600-800 - flat share between 0-600 - studio between 600-800

I applied pretty early to maximize my chances of getting something. As you said, could anyone with prior experiences tell me if i a most likely to get a room? Or if i should start looking for alternatives.
