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 30th of June. You can finish the contract online or at Joensuun Elli office. 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 booking, and your internet connection contract. And don’t forget to file a notification of move in a local register office.

The vacating inspection

When you move out, the maintenance 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 lease has finished. 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.
