Returning the keys
The keys must be returned the latest on the working day that follows the last day of your tenancy agreement by 12 noon. The keys can be returned to the mailbox of Soihtu Housing (Vehkakuja 2 B) or to our customer service within the normal opening hours. If you return the keys to the Soihtu Housing mailbox, place them in an envelope and indicate which apartment the keys belong to.
Please ensure that you return all the keys you received. Depending on your apartment, you may have different types of keys, such as:
- Apartment keys
- Spare apartment key
- Village key
- Mailbox keys
- Heating post key
It is the responsibility of the tenant to return the keys to the landlord on time. Late or incorrectly returned keys will be charged to you according to the price list.
By returning the keys, you are handing over the apartment back to the landlord. The apartment must be empty and cleaned at that time.
Return the keys on time
If you are moving out, be careful when returning the keys.
Return the keys to the Soihtu Housing (Vehkakuja 2 B) by 12:00 noon on the next working day following the end of the tenancy at the latest.
You can also return the keys in an envelope to our mailbox (Vehkakuja 2 B).
Responsibilities regarding moving out
It is the responsibility of the tenant to return the keys to the landlord on time from an apartment that is empty and cleaned. Late or incorrectly returned keys will be charged to you according to the price list.
If you do not return the keys after the lease has ended, by law you are obligated to pay rent for the period of possession. The period of possession refers to the time you use the apartment for living or storing items, or when you still have the keys in your possession.
Please remember, that before you move out you need to give the notice of your tenancy agreement (if you don’t have a fixed-term lease). Notice must always be given in writing.
