You like to keep the apartment clean&tidy, don't cause any disturbance to the neighbours and remember to pay the rent on time. So if you are a party animal, please stop reading this ad and move on - thank you! =)

It takes about 30 minutes (includes walking to the bus stop) to Helsinki, Kamppi by bus (you can also travel to Kamppi by bus + metro) so this apartment is also good for a person who begins her/his studies/work in Helsinki for example at Hanken School of Economics or at University of Helsinki.

Basically you can just bring your suitcase and start living. Ask for a more detailed list of the items included. The list of items that are included can be modified based on what you want/need.
✨COSTS
NOTE! The rent depends on the rental period and how many persons are moving in. The payment overview that Housing Anywhere platform shows to your requested period may differ from the actual payment plan because the listing price shown is based on a one year period for one person. See below for examples:
🔹965 e/month for ≥ one year
🔹1085 e/month for less than one year (minimum six months)
🔹1165 e/month for less than six months between January and August (minimum three months)
🔹1235 e/month for less than three months between January and August
🔹1295 e/month for less than six months between August and January. Minimum rental period is Aalto University's autumn period (August - December).
🔹Ask for the rent for some other period and/or for two persons.
Water + electricity (+ Wi-Fi if you want) are all ready to use when you move in...so you don't need to start making any utility contracts with different companies. Utility fee for water and electricity is 60 e/month (for one person) OR 100 e/month with Wi-Fi. The utility fee is paid monthly on top of the rent. Nothing works with gas. Central heating + waste management + bike storage + a separate laundry&drying room space are included so no extra costs from those.
Refundable security deposit is EITHER 1 x the monthly payment (rental period ≤ six months) OR 2 x the monthly payment (rental period ≥ six months). The security deposit is paid via Housing Anywhere before the move-in day.
Bed sheets, towels and a private bicycle are available by request.
One weekly sauna turn is included in the rent.
Private sauna turns and/or a car parking space are available by request and cost extra.
The tenant has to purchase an extensive home insurance from a Finnish insurance company (costs about 10 euros per month). I will help you with the insurance so don't worry about this thing. :)

No parties/pets/subtenants/subletting/air b&b/couch-surfing or anything similar!

Frequently asked questions for this offer
What happens after I make a reservation?
Once you send a reservation request, the landlord is notified that you are interested in their offer. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your reservation.
Landlords are mainly interested in the profile of their tenant. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your reservation will more likely get approved.
What is the standard furnishing of flats?
All the apartments on offer on HousingAnywhere must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and internet connection included.
What is a medium-term rent?
The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the landlords offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without HousingAnywhere is not that easy.
Can I go through the contract before I make a reservation of the housing?
You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every offer. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.
While arranging a contract on HousingAnywhere, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the landlords on HousingAnywhere.
Can I see my chosen accommodation in person before I sign the lease agreement?
Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on HousingAnywhere from the comfort of your own home.
If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the landlord and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.
If you move in and find that the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on HousingAnywhere at the time the reservation request was sent to the landlord, you can withdraw from the lease agreement under certain circumstances explained in this article in our help center.
Also, under our "secure move-in" policy, we'll assist you with moving to an alternative accommodation if you report within a certain period of time that the rental unit doesn't match the ad and the landlord doesn't fix the problem immediately. You can read the details in our help center.
How can I pay?
On HousingAnywhere, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.
How can I cancel my reservation?
How you can cancel a reservation varies depending on what stage the reservation is in.
Is your reservation request still waiting for landlord approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!
However, suppose the owner has already approved your reservation request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the reservation before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the landlord accepts your reservation, their property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.
Do you have an approved reservation and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your reservation, contact HousingAnywhere customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
