Who can rent a Lumo apartment?

A Lumo apartment can be rented by an adult who has regular income and a clean credit history. When renting through the online store or submitting a contact request, we check that:

• You are at least 18 years old
• Your credit history does not contain serious entries
• You have no unpaid rent to Kojamo Plc

If you are renting the apartment with a spouse or a friend, we will check both of your details. A rental agreement can only be made if both of you meet the above criteria.

Identification in the Lumo online store is done using your personal online banking credentials. At the same time, we will also ask for:

• Your current address
• Your email address
• Your mobile phone number
• Your employment status
• Your income
• Your estimated duration of residence

If you have lived in Finland for less than 3 months, unfortunately you cannot rent an apartment directly through the online store. However, this does not prevent you from getting an apartment. In that case, please submit a contact request regarding the apartment.

We ask our customers to authenticate themselves in the Lumo online store because we want to provide better customer service in a reliable and secure way. After authentication, we can better assist in finding a suitable apartment.

Renting an apartment through the Lumo online store and submitting a contact request both require authentication. We check the credit information of all adult applicants from the credit register of Suomen Asiakastieto Oy and the Digital and Population Data Services Agency, as well as your previous tenant history if you have lived with us before.

If your credit issues are serious or you have unpaid rent to us or other landlords, you cannot rent an apartment or submit a contact request through the online store. Any problems in your previous tenant history with us may also prevent renting. A binding agreement requires that the information provided is accurate and that you act in your own name. We reserve the right to reject a rental agreement if there is reason to suspect criminal activity.

Your personal data will be stored in our customer register. Read more about how we process personal data: Privacy policy.

Renting asset-limited apartments apartments is subject to the tenant selection criteria of the Housing Finance and Development Centre of Finland ARA. This means the applicant’s income, assets and the need for an apartment are taken into consideration. Read more about income and asset limits. These homes are rented via a housing application.

Lumo Homes has three senior housing buildings that follow ARA’s tenant selection criteria. These properties are: Agronominkatu 7, Helsinki; Porvoonkatu 12, Kerava and Vaihdekuja 4, Jyväskylä. Since these homes are intended for seniors and people with reduced mobility, priority is given to applicants whose housing need is based on the need for special accommodation support.

Assisted living facility Hoiva Viikki provides basic services from Monday to Friday, which are available to all residents of the building. In addition to rent, a basic service fee of €120/month per person is charged. The basic services include, for example nurse consultations twice a week, and daily service guidance.

When selecting residents for assisted living apartments, the applicant’s primary residence, which they own and occupy is not considered as part of their assets. Other assets are assessed according to the general asset limits for asset-limited housing in Helsinki.

Porvoonkatu 12 offers safe senior and accessible apartments near the center of Kerava. Priority in tenant selection is given to applicants aged 55 and over.

There are four apartments suitable for people with reduced mobility located on the ground floor. The building has 28 residential units across the first four floors, all with glazed balconies. All apartments are connected to a door phone system, and the main entrance is equipped with an electric door opener. The building also features emergency and safety lighting systems.

The entire building has been leased for use by a assisted living provider.
