HOW CAN I PROTECT MYSELF
AGAINST DAMAGE?
ARE THERE LAUNDRY AND
SAUNA FACILITIES?
Home insurance is important for all homes, and a
student’s home is no exception.
Tenants are responsible for their own household
appliances and for connecting and installing them. If
an appliance causes damage requiring repairs to the
flat, the tenant is liable to compensate TOAS for the
costs incurred.
To protect your own property and yourself against
such damage, TOAS recommends that you take out
home insurance. Typical examples of damage to flats
include water damage, which in many cases is not
confined to the tenant’s own flat. An incorrectly
connected dishwasher or falling asleep in the shower,
for example, could end up costing you dearly.
Don’t forget to take out home insurance – you can get
living security for as little as just over a hundred euro
per year!
There sure are! Both the laundry room and sauna are
locatedin the basement floor. You may reserve laundry
turns in the calendar at the laundry room and for the
sauna from the list on the sauna door.
