You must terminate your rental agreement either electronically by logging into the OmaSevas service, or in writing at our office by booking an appointment through our appointment booking service. The notice period is one full calendar month. The notice period is calculated from the last day of the month in which the termination is submitted.
You cannot terminate your rental agreement by email. A signature is required from every party who signed the rental agreement. Please remember to include your phone number in the termination notice so we can reach you if necessary.
Finnish bank account
When filling out the termination form, always provide your account number in IBAN format. An IBAN account number starts with “FI” and has 18 characters. You can find your own IBAN account number on your bank statement. The security deposit can only be refunded to an IBAN-formatted account.
Foreign bank account
In addition to the IBAN account number, provide the BIC code (the bank’s unique identifier), which is 8 or 11 characters long.
When the rental agreement is in two people’s names
If the rental agreement is in two people’s names, both of you must submit an electronic termination of the rental agreement by logging into the OmaSevas service, or by filling out a paper termination form at our office.
If only one party to the agreement terminates the rental agreement and the other is staying in the apartment, the person remaining in the apartment must also submit a termination, thereby confirming that the entire rental agreement and its obligations will end. The person remaining in the apartment must fill out a new rental or student apartment application and submit new attachments. On the application, the reason for needing an apartment should be listed as the current address and the desire to continue living at that address, along with the reason for applying for the apartment alone.
