Moving in

Keys

You will receive your key(s) at the beginning of your rental period once you have paid the security deposit and signed your lease agreement.

  • If your lease begins on a weekday, you can pick up the keys and move in on the same day your lease starts.

  • If your lease begins on a weekend or public holiday, you can pick up the keys and move in on the following weekday.

Depending on the property, the keys provide access to the main entrance, your apartment/room door, mailbox, and the storage unit padlock.

Apartment keys: For shared apartments and studios, one set of keys is provided per resident; for one-bedroom apartments, two sets; and for two-bedroom apartments, three sets.

The Apartment Card and Inspection

Check the apartment’s condition immediately after moving to the apartment. The Apartment Card is filled out electronically. You will receive a link to your email in the beginning of the first month of your tenancy through which the card can be filled. If you are to report faults that require maintenance, remember to fill out a separate Note of Fault in the end of the card.

By checking the apartment, you are making sure that you are not responsible for the possible flaws that have been caused by the previous tenant. Be thorough for your own good. In unclear cases, contact maintenance service.

Moving Checklist

  1. 1
    Submit a change of address notification

    File a change of address notification with the Digital and Population Data Services Agency and Posti in good time. If necessary, purchase Posti’s mail forwarding service.

  2. 2
    Set up an electricity contract

    Remember to make an electricity contract for your new apartment early enough.

  3. 3
    Internet connection

    DASnetti is a Telia building internet service. The contract for the internet connection is made directly with Telia, and when moving out, the resident terminates the contract through Telia’s customer service. DASnetti is included in the rent.

  4. 4
    Insurance

    Obtain home insurance – it covers damage to the building, your belongings, as well as bicycles and other equipment. Home insurance is an inexpensive way to cover costs for any damage caused to neighbors or to the foundation’s property.

    Check the condition of the apartment

    Immediately after moving in, inspect the condition of your apartment and report any defects when filling in the electronic apartment condition report.

    All DAS buildings follow public order regulations as well as the rules of Domus Arctica Foundation, prepared together with the tenant committees for the benefit of all residents. The house rules were sent to you with your housing offer, but you can also read them via the link below.
