työsuhdeasunnon

Työsuhdeasunto refers to a housing arrangement in Finland where an employer provides an apartment to an employee as part of their employment contract. This is also known as an employer-provided housing or company housing. These arrangements are often offered for specific reasons, such as the employee's need to reside close to their workplace, particularly in remote areas or for certain professions like teachers in isolated schools or caretakers.

The terms and conditions of a työsuhdeasunto are typically outlined in the employment contract or a separate housing agreement. These agreements usually specify the rent (which may be subsidized or below market rate), the duration of the housing, and the responsibilities of both the employer and the employee regarding maintenance and utilities. Upon termination of employment, the employee is generally required to vacate the työsuhdeasunto within a specified notice period. The value of the benefit, if any, is often considered taxable income for the employee. This type of housing is a common benefit in Finland, especially in sectors where geographical location is critical for job performance.
