Lappeenranta Student Housing Foundation (LOAS) - Villmanstrand

Emmi Tolonen

Vikailmoituksia ja palautetta ei oteta tosissaan etkä välttämättä tule saamaan vuokravakuuttasi takaisin jostain naurettavasta syystä. Asunnot suurimmalta osin vanhoja ja huonossa kunnossa (esim. hometta kylpyhuoneessa ja seinissä reikiä joita ei korjattu vaikka niistä ilmoitin. Päättivät alkaa korjaamaan vasta kun olin muuttamassa pois) Saatat myös joutua jakamaan eteisen seinänaapurin kanssa jolloin teidän molemien postit on molempien saatavilla.
Pyykkivuoroja voi varata vain puoleksi tunniksi kerrallaan ja pyykkitupa on aina karmeassa kunnossa (Esim. Likaa ja jopa lasinsiruja)
En suosittele.

edit: LOASin vastaus ei muuten pidä paikkaansa

They give the apartment (studio) not so clean (with dead bugs on the windows, stains on the floor etc) and when you check-out they check every little "stain" so they can charge you 250 euros for the cleaning even if you cleaned it and those "stains" were done by previous tenants or can be removed with professional tools only. There is nothing for the student to do in that case but to pay the cleaning fee. If you're not happy with the decision, they say go to Customer Disputes Board (which seems to solve legal issues in court for customers and companies). Worth noting that if you have a shared room in an apartment, the person leaving can just clean their room and leave because the other tenants use the other areas as well. I tried explaining in detail with arguments on what happened, they didn't care.

One tip to upcoming students, especially those that have studio apartments: Don't bother cleaning when you check out, just pay the cleaning fee and save some time. You probably won't get away without paying anyway.

Rent deposit was not returned in full, even though apartment was clean when we left. We also had to pay 2 months rent when we were forced to relocate quickly to another city. Be careful.

Management is quite dominating about things in their control.

For example, in 2019 December, the group forced me to shift to another apartment for unknown reasons. This was done by sending me a termination notice every single day for 1 month.

Moreover, I have recently moved out from the second LOAS apartment. A month after that, I received an unreasonable amount of bill for cleaning purpose. The cleaning clearly shouldn't have cost so much. But the company is quite dominating, and sends an additional of 5euro charge with each reminder.

For many poor students, the LOAS group does not actually play in their favor though they falsely depict so.

+ comfortable apartments
+ sauna and laundry system
- no bed mattress provided
- lack of basic facilities like vacuum cleaner (which was said to be in the Karankokatu dormitory)
- LOAS tend to charge students ridiculous fees for cleaning purposes when it's not perfectly tidy

Jos etsisin ensimmäistä opiskelija-asuntoani Lappeenrannasta, niin LOAS olisi ehdottomasti ykkösvaihtoehtoni. Asuntojen kunto on yleisesti ottaen erinomainen ja jos joku on vialla, niin ne korjataan (kunhan vioista ilmoitetaan). Toki valikoimassa on eri-ikäisiä taloja. Tarjolla siis hyvää perusasumista.

Asunnon tai asunnonvaihdon saa helposti jos asioi toimistolla. Huoltomiehet tekevät työnsä hyvin.
Sähköinen asiointi hidasta/vaihtelevan laatuista.

They provide the most affordable housing for students in Lappeenranta.
