Notice of termination of tenancy

Printable form: Notice of termination of tenancy

You can terminate your tenancy electronically by signing in to the electronic services using your credentials. If there are two or more parties to the agreement who wish to terminate their tenancy, each person must use their own credentials. You can also print the notice of termination of tenancy from our website or collect a form from the service centre and return it to us.

Remember that the notice period for terminating your tenancy is one calendar month. Make sure you submit your notice of termination of tenancy in good time. You can terminate your tenancy to end in the middle of a calendar month or at the end of month.

Example 1: If you terminate your tenancy agreement on or before the 15th day of the month, your tenancy will terminate on the 15th day of the following month, or at a later date, if you wish.

Example 2: If you terminate your tenancy by the last day of the month, you will be liable to pay the rent for at least the following month.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR TENANTS MOVING OUT

Thank you for choosing a VTS-kodit flat! When moving out, please consider the following:
Make sure you cap the dishwasher water supply properly to avoid water damage! You can order a capping service free of charge at palveluisannoitsijat@vts.fi (at least five business days before moving out). The tenant is responsible for disconnecting and removing the dishwasher. The cupboard that has been removed does not have to be reinstalled/brought back. Inadequate capping and any resulting damages will be charged to the tenant moving out.

Return your keys to the VTS-kodit office on the first business day after the termination of your tenancy agreement by 10 am. Put the keys in an envelope and clearly mark the address and number of the flat on the envelope. Missing keys may lead to the need to replace the locks, the cost of which will be charged to the tenant moving out. We do not accept copied or damaged keys or keys that are handed in late.

Submit a notification of change of address. The fastest way to submit the notification is to use the electronic service at www.muuttoilmoitus.fi. Terminate your electricity contract.

Submit a notice of moving out to the facility management company within three days of moving out. You can submit the notice in electronic format on our website at www.vts.fi.

If you have any further questions, please contact asuntotarkastukset@vts.fi at least two weeks before you move out.
