Hi r/Finland, Thanks to the government's recent insane immigration reforms, as well as looming austerity and futher immigration changes, I will be leaving Finland. I understand all the paper work -- informing Migri, Vero, getting back my pension contributions, etc. That's not what I am here to ask. I am mostly wondering how to get rid of all my stuff. I dont necessarily want to give it all away. I have nice electronics and furniture that would be worth reselling. But I don't have time to post everything on Tori and fight through spam on Facebook marketplace. I am not looking for all my money ..read more

Hello everyone, I am a BBA graduate from Bangladesh, and I have recently been offered admission to a master's program at the University of Oulu. My subject is Sustainable Marketing, which is something I am interested in. As happy as I am with the offer letter, I am confused about whether I should take this opportunity considering what I hear about the job crisis in the country these days. Finland seems to be an awesome place, with an excellent education system and the promise of superior work-life balance, something people from third world countries covet. However, I am wondering how tough it ..read more

Heippa! My dad will come to visit me in August (his first time in Finland) and I'd like to take him to see the Jyväskylä rally. Whilst we've been to circuit races in the past, neither of us has been to a rally (nor my father in law who's a Finn), so I am on the look for some logistical suggestion for the weekend. My idea is to drive from Helsinki by car and rent a mökki or another accommodation near Jyväskylä, and I'd like to know: What are some good spots on the track where there's good views of the race? Will cars run on the track for the whole day (starting in batches) or should I expect ..read more

Hi! My partner and I are planning to buy an apartment in Helsinki. We are going to have unequal shares for the loan (let's say 30% for me and 70% for him). I have searched to find documents or websites explaining the rights and responsibilities of co-buyers, but I have not found clear guidelines. Could you please kindly help me with the following questions? 1- So far, I understand that we will have two separate housing loans (instead of a joint housing loan) as the holder of the smaller home savings account is also entitled to a smaller loan. Does this mean that only the co-buyer with a share ..read more

A dish washer was installed in my apartment with the help of a professional plumber. I bought the dishwasher from a second hand shop, and the shop carried out the installation. Just after two days, the drainage pipe got disconnected, and my apartment got flooded. I reported the matter to my insurance company. After proper investigation, they found that the water damage was caused by incorrect installation. Therefore, the insurance company denied paying any compensation. The housing company already started fixing the damage, and it looks like it will cost more than 3000 euros, which is im ..read more
