Tenancy Agreement
- The tenancy agreement is a proof of your tenancy. It binds both the tenant and the lessor throughout the tenancy period.
- Read the agreement and it’s terms carefully in order to understand your rights and duties.
- The agreement includes information on the lessor and tenant, details of the apartment as well as the amount of rent and deposit. If you apply for the financial aid for students from KELA, you need to deliver to KELA a copy of your tenancy agreement.
- Normally the tenancy agreement is made as an open-ended agreement, without a specific end date. The agreement is valid until either party terminates it.
- You have the right to stay in the apartment as long you are a full-time student in Tampere and complete at least 20 credits per year.

After the graduation, the tenant may stay in the apartment one year. Tenancy agreement might also be fixed-term. This means that the ending date has been specified in advance. A fixed-term agreement ends without a separate termination.
