We sign contracts at the Housing Department personally with the tenant as we need your signature on the contract and we will provide a brief overview of the main clauses of the contract in the course of signing the contract. A deposit will have to be paid at the time of signing the contract – 400 kroons for a place in an unrenovated residence hall or 800 kroons for a place in a renovated residence hall.
Why does the contract show a deposit of 800 kr if I have paid 1600 kr?
The contract title page indicates the amount of the deposit per place and the amount of the rent charge for the whole room. If you change your occupancy in the room (e.g. start using the whole room instead of a place), the deposit you actually paid will change, as well as your rent charge. You will not have to sign a new contract or change your contract as the deposit and rent charge indicated on the contract title page will not depend on your current occupancy in the room.
Why will I have to give an advance notice of 30 days if I want to terminate the contract?
Termination of the contract can be initiated in e-kyla after logging in to the system with your identity card. You cannot request termination of the contract if you log in to e-kyla with just your password. If this is not possible, the respective application can be filled in either at the Hall Manager's office or in the Housing Department. You will have to give an advance notice of at least 30 days before the termination of the contract, also when moving within the same hall or from one hall to another. The advance notice period is required for finding a new tenant.
