Renewal of the key cards

Tenants of Soihtu have different types of key cards in use, depending on apartment building (magnetic stripe key cards and contactless key cards). The key cards are valid for a limited time after which the keys have to be renewed by the tenant or changed to new ones, depending on the type of the key card. You can find more detailed info on this page.

If you forget to renew or pick up a new key card and have to ask the Soihtu Facility Services to open the door, the service will be charged from you. If your key card is worn-out (magnetic stripe doesn’t work), you can change your card to the new one without extra fee. Please return your worn-out key card to the service point when picking up the new card.

It is not allow to make a hole for a ring to contactless the key card because the card will be damaged and useless.
