Who can use the SATOhome shifter's benefits?
You can utilize the benefit if you have lived in a SATO home continuously for at least one year (your most recent contract being over 6 months old), and you have an incident-free residential and payment history. The benefits apply to those residents who have either signed a lease agreement with SATO or who have been reported as residents of their SATO apartment via OmaSATO.
When you swap from SATO RentHome to another, we will be flexible with the lease termination times when needed, and you will not have to pay double rent for that period°. And if the home you are moving into is empty at the time, we will give you three free moving-in days before the lease's starting date.
Already signed a home swapping lease? You can redeem your benefits at OmaSATO if it's under 30 days until your lease starts. The benefits are redeemable for 30 days after the starting date of your lease.
For more information about home-swapping opportunities, please contact SATO Customer service.
°Please note that terminating the ending lease agreement is the tenant's responsibility even when moving from one SATOhome to another. Notice of termination must always be given in writing.
How about part-ownership apartment?
SATO FlexHome is a new form of part ownership where you get access to an urban home of your dreams with a small initial capital outlay as soon as you've signed the contract. After five years of part ownership, you can purchase your home in full.
