How do I rent business premises?

  • Find a suitable space for you

    Find a suitable space with Oikotie. Please note that some spaces are rented by tender.

    Contact the rental negotiator responsible for the property via Oikotie for more information about a property, its intended use, and rental practices.

    Browse business premises on Oikotie(Link leads to external service)

  • Find out if the space is suitable for your business

    At this stage, you should know the activities you intend to carry out in the space as precisely as possible.

    You can also ask the rental negotiators about the intended uses of specific premises.

  • Arrange a showing and make a written offer

    Arrange a showing with the rental negotiator.

    See the rental conditions and the rental offer form. After receiving the offer, the negotiator will check the tenant’s credit and company information.

  • Start your rental

    An office holder issues a written rental decision, after which you will sign the rental agreement. 

    Provide a security deposit and collect the key.

    If you have any questions during the rental period, please contact the rental negotiator.

If you want to terminate your rental contract, please send a notice of termination to kymp.yritysvuokraus@hel.fi(Link opens default mail program) . The premises must be empty at the end of the contract.
