Getting to know the apartment
When we have found a suitable apartment for you, we will send you a text message, e-mail message or letter. The message contains information on the apartment and whom you can contact if you wish to see the apartment first. In many cases, the apartment will be presented by its current occupant or the house maintenance company. Visit the apartment first, and then please let our office know whether you take the apartment or not.

Before signing the rental agreement, you must pay the rental security deposit to us. Depending on your previous rent payment history, the amount of the rental security deposit corresponds to one or two month’s rent or at least 350 euros. Alternatively, you can deliver a voucher given by Kela. A receipt of the payment of the rental security deposit must be presented before signing the rental agreement.
We will refund the rental security deposit to you after the rental agreement has finished, when the rents have been paid in accordance with the agreement, when the apartment is clean after moving out, and if the apartment has not been damaged intentionally or due to negligence.
