Moas has a Clubroom that has seen very little use lately. Now we are bringing in fresh ideas for its use and collaborating with the ‘Yhdessä osallistuen’ project.

The project is organizing two meetings at Moas ClubRoom (Pirttiniemenkatu 13), where we will engage in casual brainstorming for the future use of the space. Everyone is welcome to join! You can come to cook and brainstorm together.

The first meeting is on Thursday, April 18th, from 5 pm to 8 pm, where we will make tortillas together. The event is open to all and free of charge.

Address of Moas Clubroom: Pirttiniemenkatu 13, Mikkeli

Bring your friends and head to ClubRoom! ❤️

The law on the lease of residential premises and the terms of the lease agreement require that the tenant must take care of the apartment diligently. The apartment must be maintained during the tenancy and when moving out. The apartment should remain in the same condition as it was at the beginning of the tenancy, excluding normal wear and tear. The tenant is also obliged to compensate for any damages caused by the tenant or their guests.

NOTE! According to the MOAS policy in shared apartments the common area (kitchen, bathroom, hall, balcony etc.) have to be cleaned and maintained by all residents. In shared apartments the common areas are all residents’ responsibility.

The economic and global situation of recent years has tested the real estate market with an increase in interest rates and prices. The rise in interest rates, along with rapidly escalating construction costs, poses challenges to the daily operations of housing entities, constrains opportunities for investments, and puts pressure on rent increases. Despite the challenging economic situation, according to Moas’s budget for 2024, there will be no rent increases for the upcoming year.

The parking fee has undergone a slight price adjustment. As of January 1, 2024, the parking fee will be 10,00 €/month (2023: 8,00 €/month).
