Heka is harmonising its lease agreements – consistent terms facilitate better housing comfort

We will be harmonising our tenants’ lease agreements in stages over the coming years. This will involve updating the content of our lease agreements so that in future all of our tenants are subject to the same terms. Because of this, we will be preparing new lease agreements with our tenants for their current apartments, which will replace their existing lease agreements. The harmonisation will change some of the terms of our tenants’ lease agreements, but will not affect rent.
