Moving out

Terminating the rent agreement

The notice of termination for an open-ended tenancy agreement has to be given in time. When you want to terminate the tenancy agreement, you must send a notice of termination in writing to clavis@ovv.com. The period of notice is one calendar month for the tenant. (For example, if you want to move out on 31st of July, the notice of termination must be sent before 30th of June.)

Fixed-term agreements end on the date stated in the tenancy agreement and the tenant has to move out on the last day of the agreement.

A resident who has completed their university degree is entitled to keep their room in Clavis until the end of the semester during which the degree was completed. The same applies to a resident who leaves the university without completing a degree. Exchange students’ right of residence is determined in accordance with the duration of the student exchange period.


Final Cleaning

The room has to be empty and clean after the tenant has moved out. Here you can find more precise instructions for the final cleaning:

All the stuff that you borrowed from Clavis has to be returned to their respective places when moving out. When returning big furniture, please contact the janitor. Contact information here.


Returning the keys

The keys are returned to the Helsingin Lukkonikkari Oy office (contact details below). The keys have to be returned during office hours.
NB! When planning the move out, make sure to have time to return the keys to the Helsingin Lukkonikkari office before 5 PM!

NB! When first obtaining the key, the tenant has agreed to pay for a possible fee if the keys go missing. If you have had additional keys made at an other keymaker than Lukkonikkari, and the returned keys do not match the ones that you originally obtained, you have to pay a fee of 300€, which is taken directly from your rent deposit.


Reimbursement of the rent deposit

The rent deposit is refunded to the tenant’s bank account. Give your bank account information to OVV (clavis@ovv.com), when the move is done and the keys are returned. The deposit will be refunded when the janitor has inspected the apartment and all keys are returned according to the agreement. The refund will be paid approximately in 1-2 weeks, if all matters were taken care of according to the agreement before moving out.
