The Student Union of Aalto University, AYY, the Student Union of the University of Helsinki, HYY and the Häme Student Foundation have sold the Property Company Ida Aalbergintie 1 in Pohjois-Haaga, Helsinki, to SATOkoti Ltd. Management of the property and 164 rental flats with their residents will be transferred to SATO from 1.7.2016. As a result of the transferral, flats at Ida Aalbergintie 1 can no longer be applied for through the Domo system.

The rents for July will be paid on the basis of previous payment information and SATO will send tenants new rent bills during July. From 1.8.2016, the rent will be paid into the account of SATOkoti Ltd with a personal reference number. If residents have any questions about the transferral of the rental contract or other practical issues, they can contact the customer service of SATO directly.

Provision of reasonably-priced student accommodation near the place of study is a core member service of AYY. The campus of Aalto University is concentrated in Otaniemi and AYY is developing its property stock to meet the needs by constructing new student flats on the campus or within good transport connections to it. At the moment, AYY is constructing a new student hall in Jätkäsaari in Helsinki and preparing a new project in Otaniemi. In addition, many of the older accommodation sites have come up to the time for a complete renovation. The next ones to be renovated are Jämeräntaival 7, 5 and 3 in Otaniemi. The work is beginning with Jämeräntaival 7 C in January 2017.
