Apartment maintenance

This section gives clear and simple information about how to take care of your home and keep it in good condition. The responsibility table shows which maintenance tasks are your responsibility and which are the responsibility of the lessor or maintenance company. On this page, you will also find Espoon Asunnot’s property repair programme and information about repairs and renovations in the properties.

Cooperation is the key to comfortable and functional living. As the property owner, we make sure the buildings stay in good condition. We carry out regular maintenance and repairs, keep the surroundings clean, and respond quickly to any problems. 

As a tenant, you are responsible for keeping your home tidy and reporting any faults or damage in time. This way, we can jointly ensure that the apartments remain in good condition.

Repair programme

We draw up a repair programme every year. This is a list of maintenance and care repairs that we have planned for the year. In addition to the planned repairs, we carry out unforeseen repairs, which may be due to water damage, for example.

We usually carry out minor repairs to individual homes when the tenant changes.

We inform residents well in advance about upcoming renovations

For example:

  • We inform residents about kitchen and bathroom renovations six (6) months before the renovation starts.
  • We aim to inform residents about window renovations at least two (2) months before the renovation starts. 

Usually, residents can stay in their homes during the renovations.

We plan renovations based on the building’s age, condition, and inspection results

We always plan and make repairs to properties according to the needs, the age and condition of the building and the inspections carried out. Below you can find indicative schedules for the most common renovations.

Age of the property: 20–25 years

  • renovation of bathrooms (vinyl flooring)

Age of the property: 25–30 years

  • renovation of bathrooms (tiled flooring)
  • kitchen renovation

  • condition surveys of heating and plumbing systems
