Housing rules

When living in an apartment building or a terraced house, it is important to comply with the house rules. The rules are the same for all residents. Their purpose is to ensure that living is safe, clean, and peaceful. When you follow the instructions, living is pleasant for both you and the other residents of the building.

Common Areas and Daily Life

• Be considerate of neighbours. Avoid noise and disruptive behaviour
  • Observe quiet hours (usually from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM)
• Adhere to reserved shifts for the laundry room and sauna
• Take care of your pets (no disturbance to others, keep on a leash outdoors)
• Keep common areas clean
  • Do not leave belongings in the stairwell
  • Store items in your own locked storage space

Waste and Cleanliness

• Sort waste correctly
  • Place bio-waste, paper, cardboard, plastic, glass, metal, and mixed waste into their respective containers
• Furniture and electronics may not be left in the waste collection area. Take them to a sorting station yourself
  • The housing company may issue a charge if you leave incorrect waste in the waste collection area
