Apartments for rent

If you are looking for a rental property, you can ask the municipality for a rental property. Municipally owned rental housing is usually state-subsidised rental housing, which is subject to legal tenant selection criteria.
Municipalities have no legal obligation to provide rental housing for their citizens, but they are responsible for developing housing conditions in their area. Most municipalities build rental housing and offer it for rent either directly to their residents or through a rental housing company they have set up.

In Varkaus, Wartalo Kodit Oy is responsible for renting out housing. Wartalo Kodit Oy is a limited liability company owned by the city of Varkaus, which owns blocks of flats, lofts and terraced houses with a total of 1300 rental apartments in different parts of the city, close to services.
