Water fee
In some of Soihtu’s residential properties, the water fee is included in the rent, while in others, water usage is billed based on consumption. Check the details for your specific property below.
As a landlord and property developer, Soihtu ensures that the electricity and water we use are as environmentally friendly as possible.
In Kortepohja Student Village (buildings A-T) the water costs of the apartment are included in your rent. In studios, one water fee is included to the rent and for extra tenants we will charge 15 € / month.
Starting from 1st of April 2025, in the buildings E and U the water fee will be charged from every tenant in addition to the rent. The water advance is 15 € / person / month. The water fee is balanced every four (4) months to correspond to the actual consumption of the apartment as indicated by the water meter.
If the tenant’s consumption is low and the advance water payment exceeds the actual consumption, the excess amount will be for future water costs. If a tenant uses water more than she/he has paid monthly, the tenant will pay the difference in the balancing invoice.
Cold water 5,60 €/m3 and warm water 13,20 €/m3. Consumption is always balanced when a tenant moves out.
The due date for the rent (and water advance) is the 6th of each month.
The consumption is always balanced when moving out, meaning that the tenant who moves out will receive a refund for any overpaid water charges, or alternatively, a balancing invoice if the water advance payment has not covered the water consumption for the last four months.
In Soihtu Korttelikylä, you pay water advance 20 € / per person / month. The water fee is balanced every four (4) months to correspond to the actual consumption of the apartment as indicated by the water meter.
