Moving in

How do I get the keys?

You will receive the keys from the maintenance company on the date of surrendering the possession of the apartment once you have signed the right-of-occupancy contract and paid the right-of-occupancy payment and security deposit and any separately agreed alterations. Please bring your ID with you, along with receipts that show you have paid the right-of-occupancy payment and security deposit!

Please take good care of your keys throughout your stay. If your keys are missing when you move out, the locks will always need to be re-serialised. If you need additional keys, please order them from your property manager.

What notifications should I make when I move?

There are three notifications.

Submit a new resident’s move-in notification to the maintenance company when picking up the keys. Submit a move-in notification for all the people moving into the apartment so that you can be entered in the house book. This is also a prerequisite for opening the apartment door for you in case you forget your keys at home.
Remember to make the statutory notification of move at muuttoilmoitus.fi. The information is updated both for Posti and the Population Information System. If you want to use a paper notification form, you can use either the Posti service point or the service point of the Digital and Population Data Services Agency.

Use the Submit button to send the form to the home inspector for information/to request action.

If you need to buy new devices (for example, a modem), you pay for them yourself. heck out your housing company’s operator’s instructions and the low-cost additional speeds offered: dna.fi/avain, elisa.fi/avain or telia.fi/avain.

How can I get a parking space for my car?

If your building does not have enough parking spaces for everyone, there is a waiting list. A rental agreement is made for the parking space, and you receive the key for the possible heat socket or parking garage at the same time.

If there are parking spaces available, you can even get two spaces. However, please note that you may need to give up your second parking space if a resident moves into the building and wants to rent their first parking space.

How do I book a sauna or laundry room?
