At the start of housing
When moving in there a few things to remember. This list will help you remember to take care of all the important things.
Keys
Keys can be picked up from 1:00 PM on the start date of your lease, unless you have been given a different time.
When picking up keys, you must bring a photo ID.
You can also authorize another person to collect your keys on your behalf with a written authorization.

Home insurance
If you do not have home insurance, make sure to purchase it before moving. The housing company’s insurance covers damage to the structural parts of the building (walls, floor, and the ceiling), but any damage to your personal property can only be covered by your home insurance.
If you already have valid home insurance, remember to notify your insurance company of moving. Please note that insurance will not cover damage that is willfully caused by the tenant.
Moving-in notification to the property maintenance company
When you move into your new apartment, make sure to notify the property maintenance company as soon as possible! Depending on the maintenance company, the moving-in notification can be made using the provided form, through customer service or online. The information of the maintenance company is available at your building. Without the moving-in notification, the maintenance company is unable to help you if you lock yourself out of the apartment, for example.
We don’t put residents’ names on apartment doors because the mail delivery follows the apartment numbers.
Electricity contract
You must make an electricity contract with the provider of your choosing. Please note that it usually takes 2–3 days from purchase until the company can provide you electricity, so make sure to conclude the contract in good time to make sure you have electricity when you move in.
Internet connection
The rent of our apartments includes a broadband internet connection provided by Elisa (speed 50M). The first rent payment always includes a 30-euro internet fee. After this payment, using the internet is free.
You can subscribe to the service online at elisa.fi/laajakaista, at an Elisa store or by calling Elisa’s customer service. If you wish, you can also pay to increase the speed of your connection.
You can also purchase services or make arrangements with other internet service providers. In this case, you have to pay all of the related costs.
Notification of change in address
You should make a notification of change of address at the latest within one week of moving-in. This will officially transfer your contact information to the new address. The notification can be submitted on Posti’s website. To use the online notification service, you need an online banking ID, identity card or a Posti user account. The notification can also be made with the form that is available from Posti or the Local Register Office.
Building rules and regulations
To ensure the safety and comfort of everyone, each tenant must comply with the same building rules and regulations. All tenants must act in a considerate manner towards the other residents of the building. The tenants must also make sure that their guests follow the rules.
Breaking the rules may lead to liability to compensate for damages or the eviction of a tenant.
