One Kontu – all services
Kontu was formed when six Finnish property management companies merged, combining their expertise into one. In June 2024, ISTO, JIP, and M3 joined forces, following the earlier integration of MTR, Walttari, and STIO. Together, we serve housing companies across more than 50 locations, backed by decades of experience.

Essential support for the board
– The roles of the board and the property manager are clear, with the property manager taking responsibility and providing essential support to the board. The board doesn’t need to be experts in renovation or financial management, though they can use their expertise. The board acts as the decision-maker, while the property manager, as an expert, offers recommendations and resolves issues, both daily and in larger projects.
Effective meetings make the board’s work easier, especially with the help of a professional property manager.
– Katja Valli, Chairman, Asunto Oy Temppelikatu 4
Improved meeting practices and more efficient technology
– With the new property management company, we were introduced to more efficient use of technology and a move toward a paperless office. We have adapted well to the change, and I am open to adopting sensible new practices in the future. Our meeting practices have improved, and meeting time is now used more effectively to address matters.
– Erkki Wahlfors, Chairman, Asunto Oy Salpaus, Lahti
Finding the right solutions together
– Property management has been particularly successful in resolving uncertainties related to our housing company’s pipe renovation and ensuring everything is completed. I am satisfied with the solutions we found together and believe that our collaboration will continue positively moving forward.
– Chairman, Asunto Oy Mäkelänkatu 12, Helsinki
Effective collaboration with the local property manager
– We’ve had a long-standing partnership. I greatly appreciate the efficient collaboration. Their expertise extends to construction matters, not just theoretically but also practically. The cooperation has been smooth, reliable, and firm.
– Markku Laine, Chairman, As oy Riihitarhankatu 3, Lahti
What’s agreed upon gets done
– Everything is handled as it should be. If the property manager doesn’t know something, they’ll find out. Our collaboration with the property manager works well, and we are very satisfied with them.
– Sinikka Kähäri, Board member, As Oy Käpytapio, Varkaus
Active partnership in a large housing company
– Over the years, we’ve faced water damage, fire incidents, and other unexpected issues requiring management expertise. We have consistently received the necessary support, solutions, and leadership for concrete actions from both administrative and technical property management.
– Timo Olander, Board Member, As. Oy Vanamonkuja 1, Vantaa

What does the board of a housing company do, and who can serve on it?
The board is responsible for managing the company and organizing operations appropriately, making decisions within the budget approved by the annual meeting. The board can’t decide on significant matters affecting living conditions or costs—these decisions are made at the annual meeting. However, in urgent cases like water damage or fire, the board can act to prevent further damage without waiting.
Typically, 3-5 members are elected to the board. Any adult, not bankrupt or legally incapacitated, can serve, including tenants and investor-owners. No special property expertise is needed—common sense, diligence, and a willingness to contribute to the community are enough. If you’re interested in influencing housing matters, join your annual meeting where the board is elected annually!
Happy places, happy faces
While we take our work seriously, we don’t take ourselves too seriously. Our respectful and encouraging work culture is everything to us. Our doors are wide open to those who believe in positive change and innovation.
