Security Deposit 💶

All tenants are required to pay a deposit fee before signing a tenancy agreement. The deposit serves as a guarantee that tenants will fulfill their obligations and take good care of the apartment.

Deposit Amounts 💰

• Shared apartments: 250-300 €
• Studios and family apartments: 400 €

Key Things to Know ☝🏽

1. Once you pay the deposit, you’re legally committed to the rental agreement
2. The deposit is separate from rent – you still need to pay your monthly rent
3. Social assistance vouchers from Kela are not accepted for the deposit

How to Pay Your Deposit 💳

1. You’ll receive an invoice with your housing offer
2. Pay by the due date or your offer will expire
3. Always use the reference number from your invoice when paying. Enter the reference number in the designated field. If this field is not available, use the free text field instead.
4. Payment options:
   • Regular bank transfer (within Europe)
   • Online transfer through psoas.transfermateeducation.com (recommended for non-European payments)

Getting Your Deposit Back 💸

You’ll receive your deposit back within one month after moving out. For example: If you move out in May, you’ll get your deposit back in June. Exact date for the refund cannot be provided.

1. Fill out the deposit refund form with your banking details.
2. Ensure you’ve met all conditions:

• All payments have been made
• The apartment is in good condition and cleaned according to instructions
• You’ve returned all keys

Note: Failure to provide bank account details in time may delay the refund.

Watch Out For ⚠️

Your deposit might be reduced if:

• The apartment needs cleaning (minimum 50 € charge)
• You leave items behind
• You don’t return keys or keys are returned late
• You have outstanding payments
• You’re using a non-European bank (30 € + transfer fees may apply)

”If you respect the apartment during your stay then everything is alright”
