Monitoring and developing tenant satisfaction is one of the most important things for a rental housing company's business and tenant satisfaction is affected by a wide range of factors.‍For the development of tenant satisfaction, it is of paramount importance to listen carefully to tenant feedback and make changes based on it if possible.

A good tenant experience is a considerable competitive advantage for the landlord. Landlords are responsible for many tasks when managing rental apartments: tasks range from maintaining physical condition to administrative tasks. The importance of the tenant experience is often forgotten, even though it is one of the most important factors in creating a long-term tenant relationship.

Komu Homes is a property technology startup focused on modernizing real estate processes. It’s a service used to automate inspections related to renting. Today Komu operates in more than 60 000 apartments, has 18 happy customers, and reaches up to 1500 people monthly.

Rune Niska, who just graduated from Aalto University, is interested in startups and software development. He wanted to combine these in his thesis, which is why Komu offered the perfect place to carry out the work. Rune had previous experience in software development through working in companies of different sizes and studying at Aalto University. In companies, he has programmed and designed software both in independent projects and in multinational teams.

OVV is a rental apartment franchise company that has been using Komu for almost a year. Initially, Komu was used only in Tampere, but it turned out to be so handy that its use has been extended to other offices in the chain throughout Finland.

What if inspecting apartments were quick? Most companies still make regular inspection visits and use paper documentation and inefficient email communication. These tools are outdated and unproductive compared to modern services, like Komu. Komu makes move-out and move-in inspections easy and also automates resident satisfaction surveys and other instructions to residents.

When you are moving out, the paper cleaning instructions that slip into the mailbox are easily ignored. They are buried under the moving boxes, the struggle of letting go,and new dreams. M2-Kodit, which is a part of Y-Säätiö, had this problem and therefore they decided to try Komu. After the introduction of Komu, the instructions are readand followed by up to 80 percent of tenants.

Everyone who has ever rented an apartment knows how painful it can be to change tenants. Also, the more apartments, the more to inspect. NAL Asunnot was willing to find a better way to facilitate this process. In addition, they wanted to develop ways in which the tenant’s housing experience could be improved in general.
