To Rental Guests

For everyone to feel comfortable, it is important that each tenant takes the other tenants into consideration. Good manners include accepting the noises of normal life. General rules should be followed to maintain a good atmosphere between neighbours. Familiarise yourself with the housing company’s own rules of order.

Checklist for newcomers

Here is a short checklist for people moving in. The list contains information that is useful to take into account when moving.

• Make an official notice of moving in good time so that the post office can find the right address. By law, the notice must be made within one week of the move.
• Make an electricity contract with an electricity company even before you have moved to your new home (does not apply to Domus). The electricity contract must start when your rental agreement begins.
• Notify the new service company that you are moving (Talo Team for Domus, Tehtaankatu 7, Linnankatu 1 and Vesta).
• If you are entitled to general housing allowance or student housing allowance from Kela, you must obtain the relevant documents for the applications and send the application to Kela.
• Remember to sign a home insurance policy for your new address.
• Check that the home has sufficient and functioning smoke alarms.
• Familiarise yourself with the new home’s rescue instructions so that you know what to do in case of an accident or fire.
