Rules and regulations for parking spaces in the properties of TA-Asumisoikeus Oy

These rules and regulations have been drawn up to ensure the comfort of living of the building’s residents and to ensure the safe, seamless and fair use of parking spaces. All residents and parking space users must be considerate towards the other residents of the building and other parking space users, and no one should unnecessarily disturb the comfort of others or the use of parking spaces. A parking space holder is responsible for ensuring that their guests also follow these rules. In addition to these general rules and regulations, all residents and parking space users must follow the rules and guidelines laid down by the building owner to ensure public order, relevant legislation and regulations as well as the terms of the rental or right-of-occupancy agreement or parking space agreement.

Parking in places reserved for vehicles

Parking vehicles is only permitted in the marked places reserved for the purpose. Parking motor vehicles in front of stairs and entrances or on emergency access roads without a valid reason is prohibited, with the exception of short-term parking for loading or unloading items. Even in that case, the vehicle must be removed without delay. Idling and driving on paths in the yard unnecessarily is prohibited.

Use of parking spaces

Parking spaces are intended only for permanent parking of the resident’s own or their family members’ motor vehicles, unless otherwise agreed in writing. If a resident who has entered a parking space agreement does not have a vehicle but they have reserved the space for their guests, they are obliged to give up the parking space to a resident who needs a parking space for regular personal use. Transferring the control of a parking space is prohibited. Only one car may be parked in one parking space at a time. The holder of the parking space is not allowed to fix or put up a sign in the parking space without the building owner’s permission, unless otherwise agreed. It is prohibited to store property, decommissioned vehicles or other inappropriate objects in the parking space.

Parking in spaces reserved for the disabled or persons with reduced mobility

Parking spaces reserved for persons with reduced mobility and marked as such may only be used by a permanent resident who holds an appropriate parking permit. A person who parks their vehicle in such a parking space must, on demand, prove that they have a valid parking permit for the disabled parking space. The permit must be visible inside the parked vehicle. If a person without reduced mobility has been given a parking space reserved for persons with reduced mobility and a person with reduced mobility who needs a parking space moves into the building, the former must give up their parking space to the latter, if necessary.

Parking spaces and housing

The parking spaces are primarily intended for the building’s permanent residents. In order to get a parking space, the resident must have a registered vehicle in regular use, unless otherwise agreed in writing. If a resident moves out, i.e. gives up their rental or right-of-occupancy apartment, they shall also give up the parking space if other residents of the building need a parking space. If a holder of a right-of-occupancy apartment has concluded a separate agreement on the use of a parking space and they give up their apartment, the building owner shall have the right to terminate the parking space agreement. If a resident uses two parking spaces and another resident needs one of them due to resident turnover or other similar reasons, the former must give up one of their parking spaces to the latter.

Vehicles allowed

The parking spaces are intended for vehicles that are actively used for transport. The entire vehicle must fit in the parking space. It is prohibited to park a vehicle that crosses the parking space lines in the parking space. Parking of mopeds and motorcycles in the same parking space with a car is allowed, provided that they do not cross the parking space lines. When using the parking space, the user shall ensure that enough room is left for reversing between the space and the adjacent parking spaces.

Car heating poles

It is prohibited to leave heater cables hanging from the car heating poles. The heater cable sockets must be kept covered and locked whenever they are not in use. The parking space holder shall replace damaged heater cables. The building owner has the right to remove damaged heater cables or cables that otherwise compromise electrical safety. It is strictly prohibited to use extension leads or take electricity from sockets outside the parking space to heat a car.

Keeping the parking space clean and winter maintenance

The parking space holder is responsible for keeping their parking space clean. The owner of the vehicle is responsible for cleaning any traces of oil or similar that may leak from a motor vehicle in the parking space or elsewhere on the property, or compensate the building owner for the cleaning.

The parking space holder is responsible for the parking space’s winter maintenance, e.g. snow removal and gritting. The building owner is responsible for the winter maintenance of the driveways and walkways in the parking area. If the parking space is located outside the maintenance responsibility of the building owner or other property owner, e.g. if the parking space is located in a separate yard connected to the parking space holder’s apartment, the parking space holder shall be responsible for the winter maintenance of the route leading to the parking space.

Charging of electric cars and hybrids

It is prohibited to charge electric cars and hybrids by using the car heating poles without a separate agreement on the use of a charger or temporary charging service. If the parking space holder has entered an agreement on the use of a temporary charging service, they shall follow the instructions for fixing and removing a label indicating the use of a charging service. The label must be fixed to the parking space under the agreement. It is prohibited to forge the label or hand it over to a third party.

The owner of the charger, TA-Asumisoikeus Oy, determines the maximum charging power permitted for the charger or temporary charging service in the parking space. The user of the charger or the parking space holder is not allowed to exceed the maximum charging rate determined by the owner.

The user of the charger is not allowed to change the structure or properties of the charger. The user is allowed to charge their vehicle by using only the charger designated to them. It is strictly prohibited to charge electric cars and hybrids by using other heating poles or sockets on the property or to use extension leads to charge the vehicle. The charging cable or charger must be disconnected from the heating pole when the vehicle is not charging. The charging cable and charger must be kept inside the vehicle or in another secure place whenever the vehicle is not charging.

Charging the vehicle while using a block heater and/or interior heater is prohibited. Only one vehicle can use the charger at a time.

The holder of the vehicle is responsible for keeping the charging cables in such a condition that they comply with the electric safety regulations and do not compromise the safety of the property and other property users.

The user of the charging station is responsible for any damage incurred by the owner of the charging station or a third party for the misuse of the charger if the maximum charging rate permitted is exceeded or if these rules and regulations, instructions given by the charger owner or the terms of the agreement on the use of the charger or temporary charging service are violated.

Guest parking spaces

Guest parking spaces are reserved only for temporary and short-term parking by guests of the residents. It is prohibited to use a guest parking space regularly or in a recurring manner or for excessively long periods at a time.

Car washing and maintenance

Washing cars on the plot or in the car park is prohibited. It is also prohibited to perform any maintenance work or repairs that could harm other parking space users or the property or dirty the parking space or the car park. For example, painting a car on the plot or in the car park is prohibited. If the parking space becomes dirty as a result of maintenance or repair work, the parking space holder shall be responsible for cleaning up. Retyring is allowed in your own parking space or the car park.

The owner of the building must be informed of any violation of the rules and regulations by submitting a separate reporting form.
