Heka's winter reminder: snow work, gritting and safe everyday life

15.1.2026 10:26

Snow provides a wintry atmosphere and light, but it also means work for Heka's employees and residents. This winter reminder gives you advice on how to keep the yard and other outdoor areas of your home functional and safe in winter, and how to regulate the temperature in your home. Heka's property maintenance operatives do the snow work in the yard and take care of gritting, but residents also have their own responsibilities.

Heka is harmonising its lease agreements – consistent terms facilitate better housing comfort

We will be harmonising our tenants’ lease agreements in stages over the coming years. This will involve updating the content of our lease agreements so that in future all of our tenants are subject to the same terms. Because of this, we will be preparing new lease agreements with our tenants for their current apartments, which will replace their existing lease agreements. The harmonisation will change some of the terms of our tenants’ lease agreements, but will not affect rent.
