You can apply for a Joo rental apartment if you are at least 18 years old, have a Finnish personal identity code, and no derogatory marks on your credit report.

Joo Kodit does not offer separate student housing. Instead, all rental apartments are open to both students and other applicants.

To reserve an apartment online, you need Finnish online banking credentials. We use them to verify your identity and credit information. If you do not have Finnish online banking credentials, please contact our customer service.

Please note that an apartment can not be booked on behalf of another person. The reservation and identification using online banking credentials must always be completed using the tenant’s details.

If you are interested in renting one or more apartments for your business, please contact our rentals team via email at sales@joo-kodit.fi.

What if I have a poor credit history?

Unfortunately, you cannot apply for or reserve a rental apartment from Joo Kodit if you have derogatory marks on your credit report or your credit information is not in good standing. We check applicants’ credit information as part of the booking and application process.

We want to make renting a new home easy and carefree for you. Here’s how it works:

1. Find a rental apartment you like in our apartment search. Click on the "Start renting" link on the advert and fill in the booking form. You will need a Finnish online banking ID to confirm your identity. If you don't have Finnish online banking codes, you have derogatory marks on your credit report or you're under 18, please contact us at vuokraus@joo-kodit.fi. If you are interested in renting one or more apartments for your business, please contact our rentals team via email at sales@joo-kodit.fi.

2. After you have made a booking on our website, you will receive confirmation by email. In this message, we will ask you to provide documentation proving your ability to pay the rent. The email includes a link for uploading the documents. We review the documents solely for the purpose of making the rental decision, after which they are not retained in our systems.

Please provide one of the following income documents or statements:

• Your most recent payslip. Please note that the payslip should also show the start date of your employment.
• Employment contract indicating whether the contract is fixed-term or permanent, the number of working hours, and salary.
• Benefit decision, for example from Kela.
• Student certificate of enrolment if a benefit decision from Kela is not yet available.
• Entrepreneur’s income statement.
• Earnings register extract.
• Pension certificate or other official proof of income.

Other attachments:

• Bank statements.
• Earnings register extract.

We review the documents for the purpose of making a rental decision. After the review, the documents are deleted without undue delay and no later than seven (7) days after they have been submitted.

3. Once you've completed your booking, our rental representative will get in touch with you to arrange a viewing or to finalise the tenancy agreement. Both can be easily done online.

4. After signing the agreement, you’ll need to get a comprehensive home insurance with personal liability coverage and an energy deal for the apartment.

5. Finally, just pick up the keys. Good luck for your new home!

Please note that an apartment can not be booked on behalf of another person. The reservation and identification using online banking credentials must always be completed using the tenant’s details.

Information on Oikotie and/or Vuokraovi and the Joo Kodit website is not always updated simultaneously, so there may occasionally be a delay before an apartment’s reservation status is reflected in external services. For the most up-to-date availability information, please always refer to the Joo Kodit website. If an apartment is marked as booked on our website, it is unfortunately no longer available.

You don’t need to view an apartment if you don’t want to. Alternatively, we can arrange a video viewing.

If you rather see the apartment in person, book the apartment first:

Find a rental apartment you like in our apartment search. Click on the "Start renting" link on the advert and fill in the booking form. Towards the end of your booking, you can request to see the apartment before signing the tenancy agreement. You can cancel your booking after the viewing in case you don’t like the apartment after all.

Our rental representative will call you within 1–2 business days. Please note that we are not available on public holidays.

You can move in as soon as your tenancy agreement starts. If the apartment is empty, that could even be on the next weekday!

You'll be able to pick up your keys at 12 p.m. on the start date of your tenancy agreement at the latest. Our rental representative will email you about when and where you can pick up the keys. Read more here.

Please remember to bring a photo ID with you when picking up your keys. Accepted documents are Finnish ID cards, Finnish driving licenses and Finnish passports. We also accept valid foreign passports with a registration of a foreigner certificate, Finnish residence permit cards, and Kela cards with a Finnish ID-number.

In most Joo Kodit apartments, there is no rental deposit. You can check the information for a specific apartment from the housing advertisement.

Joo Kodit does not accept personal guarantees or guarantee services as a form of security for rental agreements.

That’s a definite yes! As a Joo tenant you need to have comprehensive home insurance with a personal liability policy.

As a tenant, you’ll need to make your own electricity contract. The tenant is responsible for the electricity consumption of any heating and/or ventilation equipment connected to the apartment's electricity supply.

Depending on the apartment, you will either be billed a a water prepayment or a fixed water fee. Please contact our customer service if the number of people living with you changes, as it affects the amount of the payment.

If your apartment complex has broadband, we charge an apartment-specific media fee. The internet connection is not automatically on, but must be activated by contacting the service provider (e.g. Telia or Elisa). At the same time, if you want to, you can increase your broadband speed at an additional charge. Please note that you may need a modem, which must be purchased at your own expense. For more instructions, please visit the Jooppi residents' app Building info page.

Yes! We say Joo to all pets suited to life in an apartment block. Please note that you’re responsible for any damage or excessive wear and tear to the apartment caused by your pet.

Joo+ and Joo Premium rental apartments are for you if you're looking to rent a furnished apartment for a longer period of time.

Read more about our furnished apartments for companies here.

Lease agreements for private customers are valid until further notice. The lease can be terminated no earlier than 6 or 12 months after the start of the agreement. This means that the minimum rental period for private customers is 6 or 12 months. You can find the first possible end date for the rental agreement in the housing advertisement or in your rental agreement.

However, it is possible to terminate the contract before the earliest possible starting date of the notice period by paying the contractual penalty (2 months' rent) stated in the agreement. The notice period is also one calendar month in this case, meaning that the agreement ends at the end of the month following your notice of termination. Read more here.

You can fill in the move-in inspection form in the Jooppi residents' app. You'll find it on Prepare for your move / Continue preparations > Complete the move-in inspection form.

New tenants must complete the move-in inspection form. The form will open on the start date of the lease and can be filled out within 14 days from the beginning of the tenancy. On it, you can note any signs of wear and tear in the apartment that don't impact your everyday life. This will ensure you won't be held accountable for these when it's time to move to your next place. It also makes the move-out inspection smoother when you eventually leave, and helps speed up the return of any deposit you might have paid.

Kindly note that the information about the reported fault or issue submitted through the form is not automatically forwarded to the maintenance team.So, if you notice any defects that require repair or observe anything else in the apartment that needs attention, please submit a separate maintenance request or contact our customer service.

Using small nails is allowed. You can also mount a small shelf or TV bracket on the wall using appropriate fixing. Please read our apartment maintenance guidelines before making any fixings or installations. Please also note that your apartment complex may have its own apartment complex-specific instructions in which making holes may be prohibited. If necessary, please contact our customer service for more information.

Changing homes from one Joo Kodit apartment to another is a carefree option when you find yourself in a new situation in life or you discover a home that's even better for your needs. After living in our apartment for six months, you can request a transfer to another Joo Kodit apartment, as long as your rent payments are up to date and your tenancy has been problem-free.

When you make an exchange, we'll be flexible about your notice period, so you don't have to pay double rent. After the exchange, the minimum rental period for your new tenancy agreement is 6-12 months, depending on the city.

Please let us know which apartment you're interested in, and our rental representative will contact you about signing a new tenancy agreement and terminating the old one.

Water consumption is largely influenced by daily usage habits. The biggest differences between households usually result from the following factors:

Shower length and frequency Long showers significantly increase hot water consumption. Even reducing shower time by a few minutes can noticeably lower water use.

Dishwashing habits Dishwashers generally use less water than washing dishes by hand under running water.

Laundry How often the washing machine is used affects overall water consumption. Running full loads helps save water.

Toilet flushing Toilets are one of the largest water users in a home. Dual-flush systems can significantly reduce water usage.

Leaking taps and toilets Even a small continuous leak can increase water consumption by several cubic metres per year.

Household size and lifestyle The size of the household, the number of children, and daily routines all directly affect total water consumption.

You can find the unit prices for water and some example calculations of water consumption here.

It's quick and easy to terminate your tenancy of the apartment in the Jooppi app. Just open the Agreements tab and click on the three dots to the right of the tenancy agreement you want to terminate.

If the lease agreement has been signed by two tenants, both must have a Jooppi account to submit the notice of termination in the resident app. One tenant submits the termination, and the other confirms it in Jooppi. Create an account easily at jooppi.fi.

You can terminate the parking space in the Jooppi app or by contacting us directly by email at joo@joo-kodit.fi.

The notice period is stated in your tenancy agreement. However, it’s always at least one calendar month from the date you’ve sent us your termination notice. The tenancy agreement can’t end before the last day of the next calendar month.

For example, if you send us the termination notice on 5 February, the end date of your tenancy is 31 March. If you have any questions, please contact our customer services via the chat in our Jooppi app, via email at joo@joo-kodit.fi or by phone on 020 766 1390.

You can find them here.

If you’ve paid a deposit, we’ll return it to you within 2 to 4 weeks of the end date of your tenancy agreement, providing that you've paid your bills on time, left the apartment clean and in good order, and returned all the keys.

You'll find the instructions for returning the keys from the Jooppi app under Your checklist for a carefree move once we've processed your termination notice. If you've allowed email communications from Joo Kodit, we'll also send you the information via email a couple weeks before your contract end date.

You'll find the generic key return instructions for different locations here.

Please contact our customer service if you have any questions, either through the Jooppi app chat, by phone on 020 766 1390, or via email at joo@joo-kodit.fi
