They have commented in the live letter that the number of apartments can be increased, encouraging people not to worry about availability. I would think/hope that they have made increases easy because apartments was sort of a response to the lack of houses.
Personally I am going to try to get apartments on the characters that are eligble for it, because it ties in with my future plans for RP. I own a medium house, which because I couldn't find a personal use for it, I converted into an open RP space. An apartment I would be more easy on relinquishing, or giving it to someone who needed it for RP. The latter of course assuming that relinquishing for a specific person would be easy, which i currently doubt since you'll have so many players in the same place.
Like, as harsh as it sounds, people wont stop buying up multiple lots before square learns to put them in a pricerange where it is not feasible. It would only take me 2 weeks at most to get the gil for two rooms, doing just some moderate fairly low tier crafts, running aqua etc. I know it is not that easy for everyone but it is the reality for a big portion of our super populated server.
