The guarantee fee is kept in Sevas’ bank account for the duration of the whole tenancy. The deposit will be returned to the tenant when the tenancy has ended, if the tenant has fulfilled all obligations and the apartment is handed over cleaned and in a normal condition with all keys. The landlord has the right to keep all those receivables arising from the terms of the rental agreement.
Personal guarantee
The tenant will provide us with a guarantee commitment signed by two (2) persons who are in full-time employment. The guarantee commitment should be given one week prior to the signing of the rental agreement. For further information, please contact us at the Sevas office.
Housing benefits
People on a low-income can live in good quality homes by applying for state-funded housing benefit from Kela (The Social Insurance Institution). There is more information on housing benefits at Kela’s website
