🛡️ Safely: check the landlord's or company's details (Business ID from YTJ) and make a written rental agreement before advance payments. Adverts are published only after email confirmation.
Premises for rent and wanted
The owner or tenant of the premises reports a free office, commercial or storage space. The company seeking premises states what it needs. Advertising is free of charge, and you agree on the rental directly between yourselves.

- City business companies (Business Tampere, BusinessOulu, Turku Business Region) assist free of charge in finding premises and plots.
- In commercial and logistics premises, underutilization is only 1–5 %, so it's worth booking a good premises in advance.
- 8.9 % of A-class offices are empty, while the average for the entire capital region is 18.6 %: there's most room for negotiation in older properties.
- Areas have large differences: in July–September 2026, underutilisation increased by 3.3 percentage points in Aviapolis and decreased by 1.1 percentage points in Keilaniemi. Compare multiple areas.
- The law on business premises leases was amended in connection with the reform of the Rent Act, effective 1 October 2026. Request an up-to-date contract template and check the terms before signing.
