Ask Your Question For FreeSummary
In Finland, an email expressing interest in a lease typically does not constitute a binding agreement without a signed contract. Prompt communication with the landlord is advisable to avoid misunderstandings. The Finnish Landlord and Tenancy Act does not specify penalties for backing out after email consent.Full Conversation
I recently contacted a housing company for an apartment. Initially, I saw the apartment and I liked it. I expressed interest in moving in. We have email exchanges and the landlord asked me if I want to proceed with the contract. I said "Yes" in email correspondence. But, after some time, I realized that the expenses may be hard for me to bear. Therefore, I have not signed the lease yet. But, because I had given written consent to proceed with the contract. Will I face any legal repercussions if I now inform that I am unable to sign the lease and move in? This is based in Finland.
Hi ****,
In Finland, a lease agreement typically becomes binding when both parties have signed the contract. Since you have not signed the lease yet, you are generally not legally bound by your email consent alone. Here are some key points:
- Written consent via email does not usually equate to a binding lease.
- Informing the landlord promptly may help avoid misunderstandings or claims.
- Review any specific terms mentioned in the email exchanges.
If you have further questions or need more detailed advice, feel free to ask!

But, because I expressed interest initially in email exchange. There is text based evidence. Also, I did give consent to proceed with the contract signing. Can I back out now? Or can I be sued under any grounds? I am extremely worried.
