Smoking ban
From 1 October 2026 onwards, all of Heka’s tenancy agreements will include a smoking ban in accordance with the Act on Residential Leases. It applies to flats and the outdoor areas under their control (balconies, terraces, etc.). Smoking is also prohibited in all indoor and outdoor common spaces of Heka's buildings.
The ban also applies to e-cigarettes, herbal cigarettes and water pipes.
Smoking is prohibited in all indoor and outdoor common spaces of Heka’s buildings. Smoking is forbidden in stairwells, lifts and other indoor spaces in common use, common balconies, access balconies and in the property’s courtyard or grounds (including the vicinity of entrance doors, air intakes and children’s play areas) and car park.
However, smoking is allowed in the courtyard or the grounds at a smoking place specifically designated by Heka. In some properties, providing a smoking area in the courtyard or the grounds is not possible.
Smoking in a non-smoking building is a breach of contract
All Heka’s new buildings and renovated properties whose construction or renovation started after May 2016 are completely non-smoking. Smoking is prohibited in the indoor areas of the apartments, on the balconies and in the outdoor areas belonging to the apartments, as well as in common spaces. Smoking e-cigarettes is also prohibited in these buildings. Non-smoking properties have marked smoking areas that are usually located in the courtyard of the building. Smoking in a non-smoking property outside the smoking area is a breach of contract. Breach of contract may lead to cancellation or termination of the lease.
