Üürimaju

Üürimaju is an Estonian term that translates to "rental building" or "apartment building" in English. It refers to a residential property designed to house multiple separate dwelling units, all of which are available for rent to tenants. These buildings are a common form of housing in Estonia, particularly in urban areas.

The ownership of an üürimaju typically rests with a single individual, a company, or a cooperative. The owner or owners are responsible for the management and maintenance of the building, including common areas, structural integrity, and sometimes utilities. Tenants in an üürimaju rent individual apartments and pay a monthly fee to the owner. Lease agreements outline the terms of occupancy, rent, responsibilities, and duration.

Üürimaju can vary significantly in size and style, from small, older buildings with a few units to large, modern complexes with dozens or even hundreds of apartments. They often include shared amenities such as parking areas, laundry facilities, or communal green spaces. The concept of üürimaju is fundamental to the rental housing market in Estonia, providing a significant portion of the available accommodation for individuals and families.
