Qasa is a secure and reliable rental service for long-term accommodations. Our aim is to revolutionize the experience of the housing rental market and offer protection for both tenants and landlords. Here's how we do it:
Why choose Qasa
Did you know that 80% of home seekers have at some point felt unsafe on the rental market, and 1 in 10 have actually fallen victim to scams involving deposits or advance payments? We are determined to change that!
As a tenant, your safety and security are our top priorities. By signing a rental agreement through Qasa, all payments and deposits are handled securely through our partner Keyhole. Also, our support is available to support you and answer any questions during your tenancy, should any issues arise.
No need for deposits!
We understand that starting a new rental can be financially challenging. Therefore, as standard practice, you don't need to pay a deposit when renting through us.
In some cases, after a credit check has been performed, a deposit may still be required. In such instances, we securely store the deposit in a deposit account during the whole rental to prevent fraud. We also handle all rental payments on behalf of the landlord and with our partner Keyhole, ensuring your first rent is not transferred to the landlord until you have moved in and confirmed everything is in order.

No hidden fees
You will only pay a service to your monthly rent. The fee is clearly stated already in the listing, allowing you to know the total monthly cost before contacting the landlord. No additional fees are charged. The service fee ranges from 2,49% up to 4,98%, and is added to your monthly rent, depending on when the ad was published.

Do you qualify for deposit-free renting?
- You must have a Norwegian personal identification number (D-number is not accepted).
- You must not have any payment remarks or outstanding debt.
- Your monthly income must be at least 2.5 times the monthly rent.
- The check is based on your tax return from the previous year and credit information from Norway.
- The credit check is only performed on the main tenant. However, if there are several tenants, you can combine your incomes by adding a co-tenant.
If the credit check fails due to your income, you will be offered the option to complete another check using more recent data.
Please note: If the credit check fails due to payment remarks or outstanding debt, you will unfortunately not be eligible for the deposit guarantee.
How it works step by step
-
Create a profile: Set up a profile where you introduce yourself to landlords by providing information about your background, occupation, and previous references. The more detailed your profile, the higher the chances of finding suitable accommodation.
-
Contact landlords: Contacting a landlord is easy; simply click "Contact" in the ad and send a message. Contacting a landlord does not commit you to anything. You'll find our easy-to-use chat on the Qasa website that will help you communicate without handing out your personal contact information.
-
Sign the rental agreement: Once you and the landlord agree, it's time to sign the agreement. The contract is signed digitally through Qasa with BankID. Using the digital agreement protects you and provides assistance throughout your tenancy. The lease is of market standard and created by Norwegian real estate lawyers to ensure both parties' safety.
- Payment: Qasa invoices the tenant on behalf of the landlord, and all payments are handled through our partner Keyhole. This ensures a safe and fraud-free rental experience. Never pay anything directly to the landlord or share your bank or card details.
