People and society

Satisfied tenants are our highest priority. We strive to continuously develop our services to provide the best possible housing experience for the people living in Avara apartments. Avara monitors the satisfaction of its rental housing customers and their perceptions of Avara’s services during the various stages of housing.

The safety and comfort of the residential environment are essential aspects of the tenant experience. The quality of outdoor areas and playgrounds is indeed monitored annually and the property maintenance function ensures that daily life goes smoothly. Tenant feedback plays an important role in the development of comfortable and safe residential environments.

In addition to non-subsidised housing, Avara also promotes affordable housing in Finland’s growth centres, thereby contributing to relieving the shortage of housing in the growth centres. The provision of affordable housing supports employment-based migration and offers choices to people in all life situations and income and asset classes.

Avara’s current and planned structure of real estate funds takes into account future demand for affordable housing and non-subsidised apartments.

Through its local presence, Avara has a significant local employment effect and economic impact. 

We expect Avara’s partners to manage their social and employer obligations appropriately and operate transparently. We want to promote responsible operating methods in the real estate sector in cooperation with our partners.

Avara and the real estate investment portfolios it manages are domiciled in Finland and they pay all their taxes in Finland. The tax footprint consists of direct taxes (income tax and real estate tax) and indirect taxes (value added tax, energy tax and insurance premium tax).
