Resident selection
Who can apply for rental housing at Vähänkyrön Vuokratalot Ki Oy?
Our rental homes are ordinary rental homes, homes for all of us. But because they are ARA-funded, there are a few rules we have to take into account when choosing tenants.
The rental apartments in Vähänkyrö Vuokrataloja are ARA-funded and there are asset limits for the apartments. ARA supports the construction of affordable rental housing and the rents charged for ARA rental housing are regulated. The Centre for State-subsidised Housing (Varke) promotes and supports affordable housing Read more about Varke. ( www.varke .fi/en)
Resident selection criteria
We follow the guidelines set by Varke in our selection of tenants, i.e. we try to provide housing to those who need it most. Priority is given to homeless and other applicants with the most urgent housing needs, the most deprived and those with the lowest incomes.
The choice of tenant is influenced by factors such as the urgency of housing needs, life situation, income and wealth.
Other factors to consider
Default notice
If you have lost your credit history, it can be difficult to find a rental property on the open market.However, defaulting on your payments is not a barrier to getting a home from Sevas Homes. The loss of your credit will affect the amount of security requested and the form of the contract.
Minors
It is possible for a minor to move into a rental apartment in Vähänkyrö Rental Houses. In this case, the guardian/guardian is responsible for the child's rent and accommodation until the child reaches the age of majority, in which case the guardian's consent form must be filled in.

When the keys are handed over, it is checked that the tenant receives the necessary number of keys and that no keys have been lost or left with the old tenant. The tenant who moves out must leave all the keys they have received on the kitchen floor of the apartment, where they will be found by the maintenance staff when they check the apartment.

When will the deposit be returned?

Water charges in rented accommodation
Water is billed according to consumption.
Everyone's water consumption is individual and your choices can influence it.
Water meter locations
Each apartment has its own water meter for hot and cold water. The apartments at Varpuunen, Tinurintie 5, 66500 Vähäkyrö do not have individual water meters.
The water meters are read once a year, and on the basis of this, the resident is sent a settlement bill for water consumption. Any additional bills will be invoiced with the next rent bill. If the amount of the credit bill is small, it will be returned to the tenant or credited to the next rent bill.
Water consumption is a responsibility for all of us, but it is also a great opportunity to do small things that make a big difference to our environment. With small actions, we can directly influence how much water we use. And the good news is that Motiva's website provides up-to-date information on water consumption and sustainable water use.
Information on sustainable water use can be found in from the link below: https://www.motiva.fi/koti_ja_asuminen/energiatehokas_arki/vedenkulutus
Pets
Pets must be kept tied up outside the apartments. They must not disturb the occupants of the building or soil the building or grounds. Animals are not allowed in the areas reserved for children's play and in the immediate vicinity.
Insurance cover
We recommend that all our residents take out home and liability insurance for their contents with their own insurance company.
Move to
Moving day
The move-in date is the start date of the rental contract. The date can be obtained from the office of Vähänkyrö Rental Houses.
Notification of move
Notification of a move into or out of an apartment is updated in one step both in the Population Information System maintained by the Local Register Offices and in the Post Office. The notification can be made by calling 0295 539 225 or online at www.muuttoilmoitus.fi. Remember to also inform Vähänkyrö Rented Houses of any changes for updating the house register.
Migration check
When you move in, check the condition of your home.
The purpose of the move-in inspection is to guarantee the legal protection of the new tenant so that you are not liable for any damage that may have occurred when you moved in.
At the beginning of your tenancy, we will send you an electronic home inspection form where you can attach your observations on the condition of your home. The inspection report must be completed within two weeks of receipt.
We will check the form you send us when it arrives completed and if you have notified us of any defects or deficiencies in the property that require action, we will contact you to rectify them and arrange a time to put them right. The completed form will also be compared with any defects and damage to the dwelling discovered during the inspection of the dwelling when you move out, as to whether they were already present in the dwelling when you moved in. If there is any damage to the dwelling which is not normal wear and tear, the tenant is liable to pay for the damage caused.
If there are any deficiencies in the cleaning of the apartment, please contact the office of Vähänkyrön Vuokratalot Ki Oy immediately.
Exit
The period of notice is one (1) calendar month, counting to the end of the month following the month of termination. So if you want your tenancy to end at the end of December, for example, you must give notice by November at the latest. You can print the notice of termination from our website or use the electronic MySevas service.
Termination is always made in writing by sending the termination form available on our website, completed and signed with all the information, to our office. Termination cannot be made by e-mail. A signature is required from each of the parties who have signed the lease.
Outgoing cleaning
Before you move out, the property must be cleaned up to a standard that is suitable for a demanding new tenant. Particular care should be taken to clean the kitchen, toilet and bathroom. Remember to defrost the fridge and freezer and leave the doors open. If Vähänkyrön Vuokratalot Ki Oy has to order cleaning services, the cleaning costs will be charged to the tenant who has moved out. After we have received the notice of termination of the tenancy, we will send the tenant a final cleaning instruction and information about our policy for handing over the keys to the tenant. The cleaning instructions must be completed and signed and left in the apartment for inspection.
Also clean and empty your warehouses and take away all your belongings. Items etc. must not be left lying around in storage rooms or in the common areas of the house. You will be charged for the removal of any items left in the apartment, storage rooms and common areas.

All waste taken to the point must be sorted according to the waste management regulations of the Vaasa region and placed in a separate recycling container. It is not allowed to leave separate unsorted waste bags and waste that does not belong in the bin, such as car tyres, furniture, textiles, etc. outside the bin. Residents must deliver them directly to the Vähänkyrö recycling station, Kopentie 10, Vähäkyrö or to a similar recycling station or ecopoint in the Stormossen area. The cost of removal and disposal of unsorted and unsorted waste not belonging to the waste collection point of the property will be charged to the resident who brought the waste.
For rent
Can the rent due date be postponed?
The rent is always due on the 4th of the month. However, automatic payment reminders only go out after mid-month, so if the rent has not been paid by then, we will send you a reminder invoice. If the bill is not paid despite the reminder, the customer will receive a new payment reminder, after which.
Is the rent reference number the same every month?
We invoice your rent once a month and all future invoices will have a different reference number, regardless of the invoicing method used to send the rent invoice to you - by letter, post or e-invoice to your online bank. It is therefore important that you always pay your rent with the correct invoice and reference number for each month, as stated on the original rent invoice. If you are paying rent for January, please enter the reference number of the January invoice in the payment. This will ensure that the incoming payment is correctly allocated in our billing software and our system will allocate the incoming payment to the January invoice based on the reference number.
Why do I get an electricity bill from the electricity company even though I have moved out of my Sevas apartment?
It is the tenant's responsibility to sign and terminate the electricity contract with the energy company of their choice.
For rent
Rent, water and parking fees are payable by the 4th day of each month or on the date indicated in the customer's rental agreement.Vähänkyrön Vuokratalot Ki Oy will provide residents with rent payment instructions.
When paying, use the correct reference number and check that the amount you pay is correct. Keep your payment receipts or bank statement as proof of the rent paid.
If the rent is overdue, the tenant will be charged the interest rate, a reminder fee and collection costs in force at the time. The signatories to the tenancy agreement are jointly and severally liable for the payments due under the tenancy agreement.
HOW DO I GET A RENTED e-LASK FOR A NETWORK BANK?
Vähänkyrön Vuokratalot recommends and encourages its residents to sign an e-invoice agreement with their bank and pay their rent bills using e-invoices.
- Make an e-bill agreement in your online bank (or at a branch of your bank), see the rent payment guide for details.
- Choose Vähänkyrön Vuokratalot Ki Oy as your biller
- For identification purposes, use the reference number of the rent payment instruction (or collection) (NOTE: the reference number of the deposit is not valid).
- Once you have signed the contract, your monthly rent invoice will be sent directly to your online bank as an e-invoice. The e-invoice agreement must be signed by the 15th of the month at the latest, so that the e-invoice is sent from the beginning of the following month.
After you have signed an e-invoice contract, please check whether the next month's rent invoice is an e-invoice. If there is no e-invoice, pay the rent by bank transfer and contact our customer service if necessary.

You must always give written notice of termination. The period of notice is one full calendar month. The notice period is calculated from the last day of the month in which the notice is given.
The notice of termination must be done either by using the form on our website and delivering it to us, for example by visiting our office or by leaving it in the mailbox at the main entrance of Vähänkyrö House, addressed to our company. A signature is required from each party who has signed the lease. Please remember to include your telephone number in your notice of termination so that we can reach you if necessary.

The application must state the reason for needing accommodation at the current address and the wish to continue living at that address, as well as the reason for applying for accommodation on your own.
Facing death
The staff of Vähänkyrön Vuokrtalaot Ki Oy is sorry to hear of the passing of a loved one. We bring the following to the attention of the partners of the estate regarding the effects of the death on the lease and the tenancy.
Notification
For contact purposes, the name and contact details of the person in charge of the estate should be notified immediately to Vähänkyrön Vuokratalo.
Continuation of the tenancy
The death of the tenant does not end the lease. The estate of the deceased is responsible for meeting the conditions of the lease (payment of rent, careful maintenance of the apartment, etc.). The spouse of the deceased tenant who was living with the tenant is responsible for the obligations of the lease until the tenant moves into the apartment.
The tenant's spouse, child or parents have the right to extend the tenancy agreement, unless V'uhänkyrön Vuokratalö has a justified reason to object. The same applies to a person who has rented an apartment together with a deceased tenant.
Anyone wishing to extend the tenancy must notify Vähänkyrön Vuokratalo in writing within three months of the death of the tenant that the tenancy is to be extended. Vähänkyrön Vuokratalot Ki Oy will conclude a new tenancy agreement with the tenant.
End of tenancy
If the estate wishes to terminate the tenancy, the agreement must be terminated in writing. Death also entitles the tenant to terminate a fixed-term contract in the middle of a rental period. The period of notice is one (1) calendar month. The rental contract shall expire on the last day of the month following the month of termination. On a case-by-case basis, Vähänkyrön Vuokratalot Ki Oy is prepared to negotiate an earlier termination of the lease.
Moving day
As stipulated in the lease agreement, the apartment must be vacant and available to Vähänkyrön Vuokartalo, cleaned and the keys returned to our office by the end of the notice period.
Return of keys
The keys must be left in the apartment when you want to hand it over to us and at the same time inform our property manager Petsi Matinlas tel. 045 542 278 that the apartment has been cleaned, the keys are in the apartment and the apartment will be handed over to us.
Smoke alarm beeps continuously
It is up to the occupant to change the batteries in the smoke detector.

THE ROOF LAMP IS BURNT OUT, WILL THE RENTED HOUSES OF KYRÖN VUOKRATALOT KI OY FIX IT?
Replacement of all light bulbs is the responsibility of the resident.
Waste management and waste sorting
WASTE MANAGEMENT AND WASTE SORTING
Household waste and other rubbish must be put in a container. The regulations on waste sorting must also be taken into account. The removal of non-household waste is the responsibility of the residents themselves. Waste that is harmful to the environment must be taken to the places designated by the waste management authority.
Make sure you follow the recycling and collection instructions for the waste collection points in your home. Waste points are not landfill sites, where you can leave broken appliances and furniture, for example. You will be charged for the removal of items left at the waste points.
Open the home sorting memo Here.
Electric/hybrid car charging
Charging of electric/hybrid cars is strictly prohibited on all other properties except Paavonkuja 5. There, the cost of electricity for the car charging points is charged to the homeowner's meter and the resident pays the cost of the electricity. Charging at Paavonkuja 5 should be done as a slow charge in the home so that the load on the home's main batteries does not become too high and damage the home's electrical system.
Fixing of panels to walls
Your home must remain intact and usable for future occupants. If you are fixing paintings and furniture to the walls, drill only a reasonable number of holes and use appropriate fixings.
We recommend using suitable Velcro fasteners that are easy to remove from painted and tiled walls, for example, without damaging the surface.
If you want to make changes to your home, always contact your property manager first. The tenant is responsible for the cost of restoring the property.
Dishwasher fixing and installation
If the sites are equipped for dishwashers, the installation should be carried out by an authorised plumbing company.
Washing machines
You install washing machines in your home at your own risk and expense. Make sure that the washing machine and dishwasher connections are properly installed. The responsibility for the installation lies with the installer chosen by the customer, who must have the necessary professional qualifications.
When removing appliances, remember to plug the connections properly when you move out. Carefully store the cabinetry in the dishwasher space in your storage unit and reinstall it when you move out (cabinet installation is not part of the service company's job). The dishwasher is not part of the equipment of Vähänkyrön Vuokratalot Ki Oy, so it must be removed when you move out.
Bug reports
A fault report is made to our customer service info@poista_tämä.vuokratalot.net . For urgent cases, please contact our property manager Petri Matinlas tel. 045 542 2278. Contact the property manager or report to our customer service. Problems requiring immediate attention (e.g. leaks) should be reported immediately. It is the responsibility of each resident to report any damage or defects, failure to do so may result in liability.
When a maintenance worker comes to fix a problem in your home, he or she will first ring the doorbell. If no one is home, he uses the master key. When making a maintenance call, you may also wish to be contacted by telephone before entering the home. If you have pets, move them to a place where they feel safe and do not interfere with the maintenance work. Also report pets when reporting a fault so that the service technician knows to be prepared.
Please refer to the property management responsibilities table that you received when you signed the lease. The responsibility table shows which party (the company or the tenant) is responsible for the care and maintenance of the property.
Stocks
There are shared storage facilities for outdoor equipment, prams and bicycles.
During the winter, it's a good idea to keep your bikes in bike shelters out of the way of snow work. Bicycles etc. must not be stored in stairwells.
All apartments have individual storage cupboards. The storage room number is the same as the apartment number. When you move out, the storage locker must also be emptied and cleaned. If any items are left there, you will be charged for removing them.
It is not allowed to store fire-safe items such as mopeds, batteries or fuel in the storage rooms. It is also forbidden to store any bulk goods in other common areas and storage rooms. Vähänkyrön Vuokratalot Ki Oy is not responsible for goods left in places where they do not belong.
Sauna hours and reservations
There is a separate fee for the use of the sauna, to be set annually.
A booking list with sauna dates and times can be found in each sauna room at the destination. You can book the time you want by entering your name and apartment number on the list. The sauna shifts are invoiced every few months with the rental invoice.
Make sure you leave the sauna rooms tidy so that the next sauna-goers are comfortable to come and have a good time.
What is housing advice?
Could you benefit from a meeting with a housing adviser?
You can get support, help, guidance and advice from a housing adviser.
- In various general housing-related situations
- For financial matters related to housing
- Settling housing-related debts and monitoring rent payments
- On applying for housing and preventing homelessness
- In dealing with housing disturbances, disputes with neighbours and neglect of the home
It is a good idea to contact a housing adviser at a low threshold to prevent major problems (homelessness, eviction, large debts, etc.). The service is free of charge.
Housing advisers have networks with multi-professional services such as financial advice and social services, and can refer their clients to the right expert when needed.
You can also find a guide to housing on Hiedäki's website: click here for a link to the housing guide https://www.vaasa.fi/app/uploads/2023/02/c4c12608-asumisenopas_vaasa_taittoversio_suomi.pdf
