At a minimum, debt collection requires the following information:

- A copy of the lease agreement.
- Information regarding overdue rents, including sums and due dates.
- Indication of whether the tenant is still living in the rental apartment.
KTI Laskutus Oy is a full-service Finnish company that specializes in debt collection and management of receivables, particularly focusing on digital services. The Key Flag Symbol verifies that we are truly a Finnish company.
Our approach to debt collection is to preserve the relationship between our client and the debtor. Our strength is finding a solution for paying the receivables. If necessary, we make payment plans and also monitor them. Your tenant is an important client to us as well. We are not just faceless collectors that send bills. A polite phone call or an e-mail may often provide key information on why the rent is unpaid. We also devise solutions for these situations, making rent management more efficient.
If – Landlord insurance
As a member of the Finnish Landlord Association, you get first month free when you take out a new landlord insurance. This benefit is available for individual members with privately-owned investment properties.
Four good reasons to buy insurance for your investment property:
- You ensure your property is secured for any damages. Your tenant’s home insurance may be terminated without your knowledge. Also, the housing company may not have insurance that covers e.g. a new floor you have just installed.
- The insurance also reimburses any legal fees e.g. in disputes concerning the rent, provided that the insurance is valid on the day the lease agreement is signed.
- You are insured for loss of rental income, should your apartment be uninhabitable due to damages or your tenant intentionally damages the apartment.
- The insurance is tax-deductible.
Developed together with the Finnish Landlord Association, If’s landlord insurance snatched its fifth #1 spot in our insurance comparison test.
If you are a member, first log in to the member page to use the benefit.

Pohjola Vakuutus – Lessor’s insurance
Take out a landlord insurance (called Lessor’s insurance at Pohjola Vakuutus) and benefit from a reduced deductible.
As a member of the Finnish Landlord Association*, you get a reduced deductible with your landlord insurance, applicable to your consequential loss insurance. This benefit is available for individual members with privately-owned investment properties.
If the damage (e.g. fire or leakage damage) related to the covered loss of rental income exceeds your deductible, the deductible is not deducted from your insurance compensation. The deductible is the equivalent of 50% of one-month rent.
- The landlord insurance offered by Pohjola is suitable for all residential apartments and properties. The insurance includes the basic cover, i.e. Pohjola Home insurance, along with optional additional coverages: consequential loss insurance, legal expenses insurance and general liability insurance.
- The most competitive insurance in the insurance comparison** and one of the best providers of extended coverages for landlords.
- Lessor’s consequential loss insurance compensates you for loss of rental income if your investment property is temporarily unfit to live due to damage covered by Pohjola Home Insurance and you lose out on rental income during the renovation.
- Get a tailored insurance for your investment property’s surface materials, parts of the apartment and fixtures. You can also insure your home contents if you are renting out a furnished apartment.
- The landlord insurance offered by Pohjola also covers any extensions to maintenance liability assigned to you based on the articles of association or with a decision by a shareholders’ meeting.
- Competitive deductibles and insured values.
- If you are our owner-customer, the deductible in losses due to fire, natural phenomenon and criminal damage in your home may be as little as 0 euros.
