Paying the rent
The due date of the rent is always the 6th of each month and the rent is paid onto our bank account. The due date cannot be altered. You can also activate the e-invoice in your online bank account and all our invoices will come directly to your online bank.
Alongside the rent, we charge a monthly utility fee, which includes the tenant’s calculated share of water, electricity and wastewater costs. DAS tenants are therefore not required to make contracts for water or electricity suppliers and there are no surprising equalization bills for the water.
In 2026 the share of water is 14€ and the share of electricity is 10 € of the utility fee of 24 euros. In those apartments which have water consumption-based billing the utility fee is 10 €.
Water consumption-based billing: DAS Kirstinkoto, DAS Venla, DAS Juhani, DAS Tuomas, DAS Aapo and DAS Simeoni. In these buildings the previous months water consumption is billed monthly afterwards. Water bills have a standard 14-day payment period, so the due date for these bills does not coincide with the rent payment.
A delayed payment?
If an invoice remains unpaid after the due date, it may be referred to a collection agency 14 days after the due date, in accordance with the Debt Collection Act. No additional charges will accrue before this time. Our system sends tenants a text message reminder about overdue bills, provided we have their current phone number on file.
DAS’s debt collection is handled by Intrum. If you receive a collection letter from Intrum, please handle all payment-related matters directly with them: Intrum Customer Service
DAS follows the regulations Finnish Act on debt collecting.
Cost-Recovery Principle
The rents of DAS apartments are based on a cost-cover principle, meaning that we do not make a profit from your rent, but is divided into capital rent and maintenance rent. The capital rent includes the interests and loan repayments of the foundation’s construction loans. The maintenance rent includes the costs caused by maintaining the buildings, for example heating, cleaning, caretaking, laundry and renovations.
The DAS board confirms rents and prices yearly when making the budget. As our tenant, you have many ways of affecting the amount of maintenance rent.
