We build homes of different sizes for different life situations, homes located near good services and with good transport connections in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area and its surrounding municipalities. From the beginning of 2019, the operating area has also been extended to some of the other larger urban regions in our country which have a high demand for affordable rental housing. In addition to building approximately 400 new rental homes each year, we also promote timber construction and housing innovations.
In the selection of residents, we follow the ARA resident selection guidelines. In practice, this means that the applicants are grouped on the basis of urgency of housing needs and wealth. When selecting residents, we strive to offer the homes to those who need them the most.
Our new housing locations are applied for using the same electronic form as for other A-Kruunu homes. You can find the housing application here. We add the basic information about new housing locations before the construction work is completed. By joining the mailing list for the location, you'll be notified by email when the application process begins.
If you need a paper application form, please contact our customer service on 0207 207 100, Mon-Fri, 12:00–14:30.

3. Sign tenancy agreement
We will send the tenancy agreement for you to read through in advance. After reading through the agreement, you indicate whether you accept it and then sign it. When making a tenancy agreement, you will receive a valid rent bill that extends to the end of the year. The bill has a standard reference code, so make sure you store it safely until the end of its period of validity. The rent is due on the 5th of every month.
The tenancy agreement can also be signed electronically. In this case, you will need your banking codes.
When you sign a tenancy agreement, you will receive a bill to pay the deposit. The deposit may be a cash security or a commitment to pay provided by Kela. In A-Kruunu rental housing, the deposit amount is €250, unless you have a bad credit record, in which case the contract deposit will be set on a case-by-case basis at between one and three months. Provide a receipt of the paid deposit or commitment to pay. If you are entitled to a commitment to pay, please send this by email to vuokraus@a-kruunu.fi or by post to A-Kruunu.
4. Welcome home
You will receive the keys to your home from the locksmith on presentation of your personal ID. Take good care of the keys. When the tenancy agreement ends, all keys received plus any additional keys made are returned to the locksmith. If not all the keys are returned, the lock is re-keyed and the bill is sent to the departing resident.
Why not also get involved in the lively resident activities? As a resident, you can take action and have an impact, get to know new people and work together with your neighbours to make your surroundings more pleasant.
It’s great to have you as a new resident!
You can start receiving your rent bill conveniently as an electronic e-invoice directly to your online bank if you go to your online bank and enable A-Kruunu e-invoicing.
With its electronic format, an e-invoice sent to an online bank is an easy and secure way of paying bills. You can check and approve the bill quickly or process the bills automatically if you so choose. The bills will also be archived to your online bank.
The carbon footprint of an e-invoice is only one third of that of a paper bill.
