How about home-sharing?
At times the thought of living alone may not feel right for financial reasons or because you would prefer to have some company. That is when it is a good idea to consider sharing a home with your friends.
SATO homes are available for sharing between two or more people, but the actual lease agreement is always only signed with a maximum of two tenants. In other words, if you rent a home from us with a group of friends, two of you will need to be the main tenants and the others will need to be subtenants of the main tenants. This means the main tenants will bear the primary responsibility and liability towards SATO about the apartment, while the subtenants will be responsible and liable towards the main tenants.

Moving to another city
Are you moving to a new town, or looking for your first rental home? We've collected some tips and information on how to get started here: first rental home.
When moving to a completely new city to go to university or trade school or such, we highly recommend for you to choose also some ARA apartments to your application. With those apartments we comply with the so called need-based consideration when choosing the residents. One of the positive considerations is if you are moving to study.
