“Already over 7500 rental contracts has been made in Lumo web store, when in June the number was 4000. On monthly basis about 30 % of all the new Lumo contracts and about 80% of contracts regarding to new houses are done online.”
Based on a quick calculation the speed is not quite up to 1000 contracts per month, but it is not much under it. All in all, the volume is around 100-200 rental contracts online every week. This can be considered a big number when it is about contracts of thousands of euros.
