General rules

By signing a rental agreement, you agree to abide by POAS’s general rules. The rules apply to all our housing complexes. Repeated failure to comply with the general rules and regulations may lead to termination of the rental agreement. Rules are created in cooperation with our tenant committees.

General rules:

  1. POAS must immediately be notified of any tenants moving in or out of the building so that they can be recorded in the resident list.
  2. Activities that disturb the peace of the tenants in your apartment, the shared spaces, and the yard areas are forbidden. Silence must be respected between 10pm and 7am from Sunday to Thursday, and 11pm-7am on Friday and Saturday. Any complaints must be made in writing.
  3. Sounds that cause structure-borne noise, such as drilling, are allowed between 8am and 8pm on weekdays, and 12pm-6pm on weekends.
  4. Dusting carpets, bedding, rugs etc. is allowed on the outdoor carpet rack from Monday to Sunday between 8am and 8pm. Do not reserve the rack for a longer period of time than what it takes to clean a carpet or other textiles.
  5. All manner of dusting is forbidden on balconies and in staircases. Drying your laundry and storing goods on balconies is allowed only below the rail level.
  6. Airing apartments by leaving the door(s) to the staircases open is forbidden.

A gas grill can only be used in apartments that have their own backyard. However, using an electric grill is allowed on balconies.

  20. All POAS properties are smoke-free and smoking in the building is strictly prohibited. On the basis of the lease agreement, the ban on smoking includes the facilities in the tenant’s possession: the apartment/room, the balcony of the apartment/room, and any outdoor yard. The smoking ban is also in effect in joint outdoor facilities managed by the housing community, in the vicinity of the building’s entrances and air inlets, on the children’s playground, and on shared balconies. Smoking is permitted only in a specifically designated place, on the yard of the building, if the building can designate such a place.
