Joo Kodit residents to be offered free help for small fixes at home

The Joo Fixer service has changed. From now on, Joo Fixers will continue to support our residents in close collaboration with maintenance companies, making sure everyday living runs smoothly. You’ll see their handiwork in tidy courtyards, inviting shared spaces and an extra boost of Joo community spirit.

If you notice something that needs fixing in your home or around the property, please head to the maintenance page for instructions and help. There's no need to worry about whether it's a job for Joo Fixer or the maintenance company. When you make a service request via the Jooppi residents’ app, our team will make sure it reaches the right person.

The Joo Fixer service will first be launched in Espoo, Kirkkonummi and Oulu.

Joo Kodit wants to offer its residents carefree rental living, and part of that is helping them add personal and practical touches to their home. Residents can now book the new Joo Fixer service for small interior design and maintenance jobs, such as installing light fixtures or a washing machine, or putting up a picture or mirror.

The new service, launched at residents' request, challenges the traditional responsibilities of the tenant and the apartment owner.

– Here at Joo Kodit, we want to make rental living as carefree as possible. We have many young tenants who are moving out of the family home for the first time, and they may not have the tools or skills for installing appliances. Joo Fixer will help our residents for free so they can focus on enjoying their new home, says Asuntoyhtymä's Commercial Director Heta Kärki.

Kärki says that Joo Kodit's promise of carefree rental is made up of various different things.

– We have no deposits, and pets are always welcome. People can also rent their home furnished if they like, so all they need to bring is their own crockery, clothes, home textiles and other personal items.

Those who have already lived in a Joo apartment for some time can also reap the benefits of the new home fixing service. Besides mounting furniture and interior decoration items, Joo Fixer can be booked to perform small maintenance tasks like oiling hinges or tightening door handles.

The service is currently available at several apartment complexes in Espoo, Kirkkonummi, and Oulu. It will be expanded gradually to new locations, with the objective of offering it across all Joo apartment complexes in the future.
