Félagsbústaðir takes care of grounds and cleaning in common areas in apartment buildings that are fully owned by us. In multi-ownership apartment buildings where Félagsbústadir have individual apartments, the respective housing associations generally is responsible of the grounds and common areas.
If an apartment comes with a private garden, the tenant himself is responsible for general grounds care, i.e. mowing grass, cleaning beds and trimming trees so that the garden is tidy. The tenant may also have to take care of other communal duties, such as cleaning of common spaces and management of garbage storage, but this depends on the bylaws of each housing association. If this is not done, Félagsbústaðir reserves the right to have this done at the tenant's expense.
