Allotment fees and invoicing
Anyone who has paid for a previous season’s allotment will automatically be sent a new invoice during February. By paying the invoice by the due date, the tenant will secure the allotment for the upcoming rental period. At the same time, the tenant undertakes to abide by the applicable leasing terms of the allotments. Unpaid allotments are available for rental.
Invoices that are sent with incorrect address information often do not reach the holder of the allotment, which assumes that the plot is no longer wanted. That is why it is very important to report any change of address either by calling +358 (0)40 632 9838 or by sending an email to viljelypalstat@vaasa.fi
