All TYS parking areas require a parking permit
All parking areas of the Turku Student Village Foundation (TYS) housing locations require a parking permit via the eParking application.
Every TYS tenant can get a parking permit to their housing locations parking area. The parking permit is available for the tenants free of charge, but the tenant has to 1. apply for a parking licance in the eParking app and after the license has been granted 2. reserve a right to park in a chosen parking area via app. The parking permit expires when the lease of the apartment ends.
Please note that there are not enough parking spaces for every tenant in TYS housing locations. The parking permit does not guarantee a free space but provides you the right to park if there are free spaces in your housing locations parking area (except for the paid spaces with heating poles).
The reservation and billing of the paid parking spaces with heating poles is also managed through eParking. All the parking spaces at housing location Aitiopaikka are paid spaces with heating poles, but the Aitiopaikka tenants can apply for a parking permit to the cost-free parking areas of Nummenranta.
Wrongly parked vehicles will be fined. Parking control is provided by ParkkiPate Oy. Possible reclamations regarding fines and the like issued by ParkkiPate must be addressed directly to ParkkiPate as instructed in the notice accompanying the fine.
Billing of paid heating pole spaces
eParking will send invoices via email to residents who have rented a parking space with a heating pole. Mark the sender of the message as trusted and check your email spam folder regularly to be sure. If the invoice is not paid by the due date, the parking right will be terminated. Parking error fees due to an unpaid invoice will not be refunded.
You can see your current reservations under the section ”My reservations”. In this section you can also update the registration number of the vehicle which you’re currently using.
The person parking the vehicle is personally responsible for setting the parked vehicle’s registration number as the active registration number in the app. The parking permit for regular parking spaces can be active for one registration number at a time. Meanwhile, tenants who have reserved a paid space with a heating pole can input multiple registration numbers under their contract, after which all these vehicles have the right to use the heating pole space for parking.
Visitor parking
Guests may park in streetside parking spaces and the dedicated guest parking spots available at Kiertotähti, Tavasti and the Student Village. It’s also possible to apply for a parking permit to your housing location and input the registration number of your guest’s car. However, please note that the parking permit may only be active for one registration number at a time.
Please consider that when applying for a parking permit for the first time, the processing may 1-5 business days. Once you have been granted a parking permit, you can add registration numbers and switch between them without delay.
If you have a recurring need for guest parking, you can rent a parking space with a heating space for your car. This way, you can keep your guest’s registration number active in your parking permit, so they can use the regular parking spaces at your housing location. If you believe that your housing location should have more dedicated guest parking, please contact your local tenant committee.
