Smoking legislation in Finland will change on 1 October 2026. In this notice, we explain what the smoking ban covers and what it means at Forenom properties in Finland.
Read more about the legislative reform on the Ministry of Justice website (in Finnish)
What does the smoking ban cover?
- All stays, including those that began before the law came into force
- E-cigarettes and similar products, as well as regular tobacco
- Indoor areas, balconies, terraces and any other private outdoor areas belonging to the apartment
- Whoever made the booking is responsible for making sure all guests follow the ban
Smoking rules at Forenom properties in Finland from 1 October 2026
- If there is a designated smoking area: smoking is only allowed there
- If there is no designated smoking area: smoking is only allowed outside the property grounds
- Smoking is never allowed in apartments, on balconies or on terraces. It is also not allowed anywhere on the property grounds except in a designated smoking area
- These rules also apply to e-cigarettes
- These rules apply to all guests at our properties in Finland
We want our guests to feel at home and to get along well with their neighbours. Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us follow the new law.

What happens if the rules aren’t followed?
If the law or the property rules are not followed, Forenom will take appropriate action. Any additional cleaning, odour removal or repair costs caused by smoking may be charged under the terms of your agreement.
