Life circumstances or housing needs can change quickly and your current home may no longer be suitable for you. In this event, you can apply to switch from one Heka apartment to another.
Heka will complete its new property at Maustetehtaankatu 2 in Aurinkolahti, Vuosaari, at the end of February. The apartments range from studios to four-room family apartments. The application period for the apartments starts on Tuesday 2 December. You can apply for the apartments by submitting an application to the City of Helsinki.
In future, the short-term subleasing of Heka apartments is prohibited and apartments can no longer be subleased through Airbnb, for example. Until now, Heka tenants were allowed to sublease their apartment to another person for a short period of time with Heka’s permission.
Resident satisfaction at Heka has increased in all areas. In the 2025 resident survey, 52% of respondents rated Heka as a good or excellent landlord, up from 39% in the previous year.
Heka location Palovartijantie 6 in Tapulikaupunki is undergoing a complete transformation in its renovation. Although many things are being refurbished, there is no need to change the functional layouts of the 1970s era apartments.
We inform our residents of any rental or other debts accrued also by text message. With the text messages, we aim to reach residents who have accrued rental debt or other debt to Heka more quickly and effectively so that their rent payment can be sorted out. We will continue to contact residents in case of problems with rent payments also by phone, email and letters.
This year, Heka is taking two important steps towards more ambitious energy efficiency work. Today, we were among the first to sign a new energy efficiency agreement and one of the first rental housing companies to adopt an energy management system in line with the ISO 50001 standard.
The cool and damp nights can feel cold after summer. Many people try to see if their radiators are already warm. In the autumn, when the heating comes on, it is often still warm enough outside that the radiators do not feel hot. Heka, however, has already begun the heating of homes.
As of 1 October 2025, our telephone customer service will be open from Monday to Thursday from 9:00 to 11:00.
