Notice of termination/moving out

Termination of the lease
If the tenant gives a notice of termination, the period of notice is one calendar month. The tenancy terminates on the last day of the month following the month of the notice. For example, if the tenant gives the notice in the month of May (i.e. between the 1st and the 31st of May), the tenancy will terminate on 30 June. The notice must always be given in writing. The notice for a family flat must be signed by both spouses.

At the same time you give the notice for your flat, you must also give a notice for your parking space, your sauna hour, and your internet connection contract. Also give your bank account number so that your deposit can be returned. And don’t forget to file a notice of removal.

Vacating the flat and returning the keys
The flat and the common premises must be vacated and cleaned and the keys returned on the termination day at the latest or, if the termination day is a Saturday, Sunday, or official holiday, on the working day before it. Please clean your room and the common premises carefully; for advice, consult the cleaning instructions. Don’t forget to remove your possessions out of your storage closet and the outdoor storage room. Lock the doors when you leave and return all the flat keys and the car-park keys to our office. If you do not return all the keys, the locks of the flat will be changed at your expense.

Moving out cleaning

When you move out you need to clean your room/flat and the common areas of a shared flat. In shared apartment tenants are together responsible for condition, furniture and appliances of shared areas of the apartment.

If Joensuun Elli needs to take away things or otherwise clean room/apartment it will be done at tenant`s expense

The vacating inspection
When you move out, the maintenance-man will make a vacating inspection in your flat when his timetable permits. If you want to be present in the vacating inspection, you can appoint an inspection time by contacting our customer service or maintenance. We suggest you do this well ahead of time.

Returning the deposit
The deposit collected at the beginning of the tenancy will be returned to the leaving tenant’s bank account one month after the termination of the tenancy. The preconditions of the returning are that the flat is in proper condition, the rent and other fees have been paid, and the keys have been returned to our office.

*The fees and charges were determined 1 May 2007. Joensuun Elli has the right to change them.
