Heka's Strong Demand – "It is in the Interest of Both Landlords and Residents"

Heka emphasizes the importance of swiftly addressing disturbances and lease violations to protect both landlords and tenants.

Heka, a Finnish housing company, has made a strong demand for more efficient handling of disturbances and lease violations that can often be delayed due to legal processes. The company's statement stresses the necessity of expedited eviction processes when tenants are found to be using accommodations in clear violation of the rules. According to Heka, this approach is beneficial for both landlords and tenants, ensuring a fair and peaceful living environment.

Recently, Heka has been in the news due to unauthorized subletting of its properties via the Airbnb platform. CEO Maria Aspalan highlighted that any suspicion of such acts triggers an immediate investigation, and actions will follow in accordance with the rental law. The company has made it clear that any instance of unauthorized subletting could result in warnings, lease terminations, or evictions, reinforcing the seriousness of violating tenancy agreements.

Reports of unauthorized subletting often arise from notifications made by residents themselves, and Heka assures that all reports will be acted upon swiftly, despite legal privacy regulations preventing the sharing of specifics about individual cases. Maximilian Rewell, the Chairman of the Board, mentioned that the company is committed to maintaining a responsible rental atmosphere in its properties, making it clear that safety and adherence to regulations are priorities for the company and its tenants.
