Possible to rent apartment without yet having residence perm

Post by jg1234 » Fri Jan 23, 2015 9:29 pm

I'm moving to Finland and havent yet registered or applied for the residence permit, as I am still in my home country for the next 2 months. However an apartment has come up for rental on vuokravi.com which is ideally located and just what i'm after but wondering if its even possible or legal to rent an apartment without yet having official residence documents. Please let me know if anyone has an idea about this.

thank you

Nothing illegal about that. Problem is: would you rent your apartment to someone who isn't there to sign the contract?

Visa is for visiting, Residence Permit for residing.
