If you will pick up the keys from a Vuokraturva office, you can bring the receipt with you then. Please note that we are unable to hand over keys without a receipt. An accepted receipt is e.g. a print-out of a confirmed online payment or the bank's original security deposit account lien commitment, depending on the payment method of the security deposit in your tenancy agreement. You can check the security deposit payment method from your tenancy agreement under "Collateral". If the payment method of the security deposit is a security deposit account opened in a bank, please note that we are unable to accept a lien commitment that has erroneous or missing information. Check before leaving the bank that the information is correct. Vuokraturva can provide you with written instructions on how to open a security deposit account, which also includes a checklist for ensuring that the lien commitment information is correct in the bank. Picking up the keys: You can pick up the keys to the property starting from the moving day from your area's Vuokraturva office unless you have agreed otherwise with our agent.

If you need e.g. a spare key and don't find one in the property, please contact the landlord directly.

Usually both rent and possible water fee are paid as a lump sum into the landlord's account in accordance with information given in the tenancy agreement.

Check the account number of your landlord in your tenancy agreement under "Lessor information". Write the full address of the rented property in the message field of the bank transfer.
