https://www.aspakoti.fi/in-english/
Lappeenrannan Asuntopalvelu Oy is a reliable and secure landlord owned by the Lappeenranta city. We own approximately 200 buildings and 5000 rental apartments in different parts of Lappeenranta.
The apartments for students are shared (mainly two students per apartment) and furnished only with a bed and a mattress. This option is available this autumn more widely for new students than before, because accommodation and especially shared apartments are hard to find when LOAS cannot offer accommodation for all new students.
Rent for one month vary from 660 euros to 800 euros (+ electricity and usage fee) per apartment and will be shared to two tenants. Further information and applications: https://www.aspakoti.fi/in-english/
Remember to mention in your application (additional information) a code LUT/LAB-STUDENT!
