What to do then?<\/p>\n<p>Contact VAV\u2019s tenant counseling or rent monitoring as soon as possible. Having a professional on your side will make it easier to find a solution.<\/p>\n<p>In practice, tenant counselors give advice to people with temporary payment difficulties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dWe can go through the tenant\u2019s finances together and make a payment plan to get through the situation,\u201d says Tuula Montonen from VAV.<\/p>\n<p>The payment plan may be really tight for the tenant for a while. However, by sticking to it, you can succeed and see a new way forward in your life.<\/p>\n<p>When rent or part of it is unpaid, VAV tries to contact tenants as soon as possible. A reminder is sent in about five weeks. This is not just for VAV\u2019s benefit; unpaid rents have an effect on the rents of other tenants.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd for the tenant, it is much easier to negotiate about 200 euros of unpaid rent than 600 euros. The sooner you can tackle the problem, the easier it is to find a solution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If reminders don\u2019t work, the matter is taken to court. Even then, all is not lost.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dEven when the court has given its ruling, it is possible to reach an agreement with us on payments \u2013 as long as the tenant contacts us himself,\u201d says VAV\u2019s financial manager Liisa K\u00e4lv\u00e4l\u00e4.<\/p>\n<p>Tenant counselors also work on tenants that disturb their neighbors or don\u2019t take care of their apartment.<\/p>\n<p>The goal is to get the tenant to change his behavior. In best cases, the house is peaceful or the apartment is tidy and clean once again, so the tenant can continue living in his home.<\/p>\n<p>If the tenant won\u2019t or can\u2019t change his ways, the tenancy agreement is ended. If the offense is not serious, the tenant is given six months\u2019 notice. In serious cases, the agreement can be canceled, and the tenant has to leave the apartment immediately.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dWe have to be honest. If you don\u2019t take responsibility for your own actions, your time in VAV\u2019s apartment may come to an end. Then the tenant has to think where he can go. There\u2019s only so much we can do,\u201d sighs Montonen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you have anything to ask about tenant counselors, please send email to asumisneuvonta@vav.fi.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Text: Anne H\u00e4nninen<br \/>\nPhoto: Laura Oja<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VAV tenant counselors step in to help, if you have temporary difficulties with the rent or there\u2019s abnormal behavior in the community.
