Helsinki is offering young people the chance to rent a cheap apartment in an old people's home, if they agree to spend time socialising with the elderly residents.

芬兰首都赫尔辛基将允许年轻人以低廉的租金租赁养老院公寓，前提是他们要陪老人聊天。

The city council is seeking applications from renters under the age of 25 who will commit to spending between three and five hours each week with their older neighbours, at a care home in the eastern Laajasalo district. In exchange, they'll get a studio flat measuring 23 sq m with a private kitchen, bathroom and balcony for 250 euros per month, public broadcaster Yle reports.

该养老院位于赫尔辛基东部的拉夏萨罗区。据当地公共电视台“Yle”报道，想要享受此项优惠的人需要满足市议会开列的以下条件：年龄在25岁以下；每周愿意陪伴老人三到五小时。作为交换条件，这些年轻人能以每月250欧元的价格租赁一间23平米的一居，有独立厨卫和阳台。

Currently only three flats are available, but the scheme is part of a wider effort to tackle a lack of accommodation for young people in the capital. Ordinarily a studio costs about 600 euros a month, depending on the area, one local university advises.

目前这家养老院只有三间公寓可以出租。不过，当地还推出了更多计划，旨在解决年轻人在首都缺少住房的问题。当地一所大学称，租金高低取决于所处地段，通常情况下，小一居每月租金约600欧元。
