• The residents’ committee determines the number and length of bookings for the laundry and drying room.
• You may only use the laundry room to wash your own laundry.
• You must always make your own laundry booking. You may not use another resident’s laundry booking without their permission. If a resident has not used the laundry booking they have booked within one hour of the start of the booking, another resident is free to take the rest of that hour. You may not use the laundry during a cleaner’s reserved booking without permission, even if the cleaner has not started using the machines within an hour the start of the booking.
• You cannot make more than one laundry booking at a time. You can only make a new booking once your previous booking has been completed.

Instructions for the provision and use of parking spaces

Parking space owners and parking facility maintenance companies

• By reserving a parking space, you agree to abide by the parking rules.
• For all residents who need a parking space, the aim is to provide at least one parking space per apartment.
• The parking spaces are intended for vehicles in use. A parking space for parked vehicles can only be reserved if there are free spaces in the parking facility. Please note, however, that it must be possible to move the vehicle at short notice, for example for carrying out maintenance in the parking area.
• If there is no parking space in the building for a resident who has permanent use of a vehicle, other residents must give up a parking space in the following order:
  • Residents whose parking space is not occupied by their own vehicle or where a parked vehicle is kept.
  • Residents with more than one parking space. If several residents have two parking spaces and a new resident needs a parking space, one of the second parking spaces will be relinquished through a lottery.

In these situations, the lessor will terminate the resident’s possession of the parking space in writing.

• The notice period for a parking space is always until the end of the current month. The notice of termination must be given in writing, for example by email to asiakaspalvelu@lahdentalot.fi.
• If you park in a space other than a marked space, you may be fined.
• The use of indoor heaters is prohibited.
• Charging or heating cables must not be left connected to the electrical outlet. For safety reasons, the property maintenance has the right to remove any cables that have been left behind.
• Parking space owners must take care of the winter maintenance of their space — that is, snow must be removed regularly and slippery surfaces must be graveled. Hard-packed snow is removed twice during the winter by the property maintenance service.
• Subletting of parking spaces is prohibited.
• Parking spaces can be reserved with Lahden Talot customer service by calling +358 3 851 570 or by email at asiakaspalvelu@lahdentalot.fi
