tilanilmaisun

Tilaanilmaisus (also written tilan ilmaisus) is a Finnish term used mainly in real estate and tenancy agreements to describe the price per unit area of space. The phrase combines the words tilan (space) and ilmaisus (price), and it is frequently encountered in contracts concerning rental of apartments, office premises, or commercial buildings. In the context of renting, tilaanilmaisus refers to the cost per square meter (or cubic meter for some special cases) that a tenant must pay for the usable area of the property.

The calculation of tilaanilmaisus is typically based on the total rent specified in the lease divided by the gross area of the premises. Some leases provide a tariff schedule that shows different rates for various zones within a building, allowing tenants to see how much they pay for each square meter of kitchen, living room, or storage space. Agreements may also distinguish between temporary and permanent tilaanilmaisus rates, which can vary according to the length of the lease.

Legally, the term is governed by Finnish tenancy law, which requires that the rent per square meter be listed clearly in the lease. This transparency ensures that tenants can compare offers from different landlords and judge whether the tilaanilmaisus is reasonable. In commercial leases, tilaanilmaisus may be negotiated to incorporate additional services such as maintenance, security, and utilities, which are then reflected in a “service line” cost.

In practice, tilaanilmaisus is a useful metric for consumers and businesses alike when evaluating the cost of space. By understanding how to read and calculate these fees, potential tenants can make better-informed decisions about where to locate their home or office.
