Planning to arrange a secondary lease for AYY apartment for the summer?🏠

Published: 17.3.2025

You are allowed to arrange a secondary lease for your apartment for the summer period (1 Apr – 30 Sept) for a maximum of four months, for any individual and for any reason.
You must request AYY’s permission to arrange a secondary lease by submitting a notification through the Domo system.
The notification must be submitted at least one month before the start of the secondary lease.

What does it mean to secondary lease your apartment?

A secondary lease refers to a lease where the primary tenant temporarily rents the apartment to one or several secondary tenants, and the primary tenant does not live in the apartment during that period. During the summer period (1 Apr-30 Sept), AYY housing can be secondary leased for up to four months for anyone and for any reason. Secondary leases must be made for a fixed term.

If you want to secondary lease your apartment, you must request a permission to do so in Domo by submitting a secondary lease notice. The notice must be submitted at least one month before the beginning of the secondary lease. You must attach to the notice the secondary lease including the signature of the primary tenant (you) and the secondary tenant. In Domo, you can find the notice from your lease by clicking on the top corner of the lease under the heading “Sign a lease”. More detailed instructions for filling out the form can be found on the page.

The apartment must be secondary leased under the same conditions and the same rent that are included in your own lease. However, you can ask the secondary tenant for a deposit and reasonable compensation for the use of your furniture, for example. Please add these issues in the secondary lease. For justified reasons, AYY may refuse a permission to secondary lease, even if the conditions above are met. If the apartment is secondary leased without AYY’s permission, AYY is entitled to terminate the lease of the main tenant.
