Influence matters in your building through resident activities
Resident activities can take the form best suited to you and your neighbours, and all residents can participate in the activities, if they wish. Resident activities can include organising events, participating in community projects, or having a say in matters that affect your building and living environment.
To support resident activities, it is recommended to establish a residents’ committee, which acts as a link between residents and Asuntosäätiö. In right-of-occupancy homes and state-subsidised rental homes, the property manager convenes an annual residents’ meeting, where the residents’ committee is usually elected.
The property manager can provide further information about resident activities in your building. Contact details for your building.
