Remember to update the Village key card
If you haven’t updated the contactless Village key card after May (when all tenants needed to pick up the new Village key card), you key card will expire within next few days.
With the device located in the lobby of Rentukka (next to the info desk), the tenants can add to the validity period on their card. You can update the card at any time convenient for you, and the device increases the validity period by 6 months at a time. For example, the key cards for the autumn’s new tenants are valid until January, so the tenants could update the validity period of their card, for instance, before leaving for Christmas holidays.
