Termination of the rental agreement

The rental agreement is terminated electronically on the Kouvolan Asunnot website. Termination can also be made in writing by giving notice of termination, which can be obtained from the Kouvolan Asunnot website or Customer Service. The notice of termination is signed by the persons in whose name the rental agreement was concluded.

The period of notice is one month. You can terminate your agreement to expire on either the 15th or the last day of the month: the 15th of the current month, or the 15th or the last day of the following month, depending on your choice. A rental agreement terminated after the 15th of the current month always expires on the last day of the following month.

Moving out-cleaning and apartment inspection

Moving-out cleaning and apartment inspection

The moving-out cleaning must be carried out in such a way that the new resident can immediately take possession of the apartment. At the end of the tenancy, the apartment is inspected to check its condition and cleanliness. The apartment may also be subject to a preliminary inspection during the notice period. Normal wear and tear due to occupancy and the age of the property will be taken into account.

Return of the security deposit

The security deposit will be refunded within approximately one month of the end of the tenancy.

The landlord will cover any expenses arising after the moving-out using the funds in the security deposit. If, for example, items have been left in the apartment, it has not been cleaned, it has been damaged or furniture or keys are missing, the costs will be recovered from the security deposit or will be invoiced.
