Submit a written notice of termination
Termination must be done in writing on the resident pages. You can find the notice of termination on the homepage of the resident pages, under the heading ‘Housing Services’.
If you are unable to log in to the resident pages, you can submit the termination using the designated form. The termination form requires the signature of every party who signed the tenancy agreement. Please submit the signed notice of termination to customer service as an attachment to an email at info@setlementtiasunnot.fi.
Notice Period
The notice period is at least one calendar month. Please note that you can terminate your tenancy earlier than one month in advance – in that case, please inform us which month-end you wish the tenancy agreement to conclude.
The notice period begins on the last day of the calendar month during which you submitted the termination. For example, a termination submitted on June 15th ends the tenancy agreement on July 31st. However, you can terminate the apartment in advance, for instance, on April 3rd, to end on July 31st.
The tenancy agreement end date is also the date of handover for the apartment and keys.
In Case of Separation
Life sometimes brings unforeseen changes. If a relationship ends and a separation is imminent, matters related to the tenancy agreement should be handled calmly and clearly.
Often, the simplest and smoothest solution is to agree on the matter together. When one party decides to move out, they can terminate their part of the tenancy agreement. In this case, their obligations related to the tenancy end according to the normal one-month notice period. However, if an agreement cannot be reached in all situations, the matter can be brought before a court if necessary.
If a separation raises questions regarding housing, you can always contact us.
In Case of Death
If our tenant passes away, responsibility for the tenancy agreement transfers to their estate. The estate can choose to terminate the tenancy agreement or transfer it to a person who will continue to reside in the apartment. For example, a spouse, child, or parent of the tenant or their spouse may continue living in the apartment if they were already residing there with the deceased.
If no one continues to reside in the apartment and the estate wishes to be released from the responsibilities associated with the agreement, the tenancy agreement should be terminated as soon as possible. In this case, the normal one-month notice period applies. The termination requires the signature of all heirs of the estate or powers of attorney from those heirs who do not sign the notice themselves. Additionally, an official certificate stating the tenant’s date of death must be attached. This document can be obtained from the parish office of the church or the Digital and Population Data Services Agency.
If residence in the apartment continues and the tenancy relationship is to be maintained, the estate must notify us in writing within three months of the tenant’s death. Once the notification is made, the responsibilities of the tenancy agreement transfer to the new tenant, and the estate’s responsibility ends.
It is important to us that the transition is handled as smoothly and respectfully as possible – you can contact us at any stage of the process.
