vuokrasäädös

Vuokrasäädös refers to regulations governing rental agreements and the landlord-tenant relationship in Finland. These regulations are primarily found in the Finnish Act on Residential Leases (Asuinhuoneiston vuokrauksesta annettu laki). The primary purpose of vuokrasäädös is to protect both the tenant and the landlord by establishing clear rules and responsibilities.

Key aspects covered by vuokrasäädös include lease agreements, rent payments, termination of leases, tenant's rights regarding maintenance and repairs, and landlord's obligations. The law specifies requirements for written lease agreements, including details about rent, lease duration, and other terms. It also outlines procedures for rent increases, stipulating that rent can only be increased under specific conditions and with proper notice.

Vuokrasäädös provides tenants with rights such as the right to a dwelling that meets hygiene and safety standards and the right to have necessary repairs done. Landlords have the right to collect rent and to have their property maintained in good condition. The regulations also detail the grounds for terminating a lease, both by the tenant and the landlord, and the notice periods required. Disputes arising from rental agreements are often handled by consumer advisory services or, if necessary, through the courts. The overall aim is to ensure fair and predictable rental conditions.
