Collecting and returning your keys

You can collect your keys and move into your apartment from 12 noon on the start date of your tenancy agreement.

Return all keys during the final day of your tenancy agreement.
Do not leave the keys in the apartment or keep them after your tenancy agreement has ended.

  • Return the keys to the DAS office during its opening hours.
  • If the office is closed, place all the keys in an envelope and write your name on it. Leave the envelope in the mailbox at the DAS office.

Can someone else collect the keys for me?

If you are unable to collect the keys yourself, you can authorise another person to collect them for you.

Email the authorisation to DAS Customer Service at dasaspa@das.fi. Include the following information:

  • your name and date of birth
  • the name and date of birth of the person you authorise.

The authorised person must present a valid proof of identity when collecting the keys.

How many keys can I get?

The number of keys you receive when you move in depends on the type of apartment. If necessary, you can request additional keys free of charge up to the maximum number shown in the table.
 
Apartment type Keys provided when moving in Free additional keys Total number of free keys

If you need more keys than the maximum number provided free of charge, the additional keys are subject to a fee. Order additional keys by emailing DAS Customer Service at dasaspa@das.fi.

All additional keys must be ordered through DAS. You are not allowed to have additional keys made yourself. If you do so, the locks will be rekeyed and you will be charged for the cost.

Which doors do the keys open?

Depending on the property, the keys may open:

  • the main entrance
  • the door to your apartment or room
  • your letterbox
  • the padlock of your apartment-specific storage unit.

Do not try your key in doors that are not connected to your own apartment. Using the wrong key may damage or break the lock. In the worst case, the entire lock may need to be replaced.
