Securing your tenancy:

To sign a tenancy agreement, you may need two personal guarantors. They guarantee that all the terms of your agreement will be met, and that they will pay your rent for a period of three months, if you do not pay it yourself. We will check the credit history of your guarantors. Alternatively, you can pay a deposit into Petterinkulma Oy’s bank account. The sum of the deposit is your three (3) months’ rent. Ask us for an invoice to pay your deposit.
