Tenant can rent their apartment intermediately to another student following these principles:
- Summer time 1.5.-31.8: Renting allowed to a person chosen by the primary tenant.
- Academic year 1.9.-30.4: Renting allowed to another student with a prior approval by PSOAS due to work practice or military and civil service.
Before entering into an intermediate rental agreement during the academic term, a written approval by PSOAS is always needed. A sublease agreement has to be made and a copy must be sent to PSOAS housing office before the agreement begins. You can find the sublease agreement form here. Without the subtenant’s information, we cannot, for example, open the door of the apartment if the keys are forgotten inside, so the information is important.
A tenant is not allowed to make profit through subleasing. The rent must be the same as the one PSOAS is charging. Only reasonable costs caused by the subleasing can be added (max. 50 €/month).
Apartment cannot be sublet if the main tenant no longer needs it. If the main tenant is no longer a student or has moved to another apartment permanently, the tenancy agreement has to be cancelled. When the tenancy agreement ends, the apartment is rented out according to the queues. Subtenants do not have a right to stay in the apartment.
Tenants may not sublet their apartment without a valid reason or exchange apartments with each other.
Any violation of the rules may lead to termination of tenancy.
Choosing the subtenant
If you are planning to sublease your apartment, please bear in mind that all the responsibilities you have towards your lessor PSOAS continue to exist also during the subleasing. PSOAS is not a third party in subleasing. Therefore it is important that your subtenant is trustworthy. We recommend that you perform a credit check on the potential subtenant before entering into any agreement with them. This can be done for instance using the services of Suomen Asiakastieto Oy. It is also recommended to charge for a deposit fee from the subtenant.
