Rental Periods

Housing is rented either for one semester (one rental period) or for the full academic year (two rental periods).

  • Autumn semester: August–January
  • Spring semester: January–June
  • Full academic year: August–June (billed in two invoices)

For information about arrival dates and exact rental period dates, please see the Academic calender 

Upcoming Rent Adjustments
Please note that the rental prices for the upcoming autumn semester are currently under review and will be adjusted. Rent levels are being negotiated and updated rates will be published as soon as they are confirmed.

Previous semester rents (one rental period):
Brick Lane: SEK 25,000
The Pine and Forskaren: SEK 31,000
Co-housing in The Oak: SEK 21,000–25,000 (depending on size)

Annual rent increases are expected.
Full-year students with an existing contract are not affected by rent adjustments.

Payment information

Your housing reservation is not final until we have received your payment.

  • You do not need to contact us to confirm your payment.
  • Once your payment is registered, shortly after then your Rental Agreement will be sent to you for electronic signature.

All students who submit their housing application on time will receive an invoice via email, which includes payment instructions.
The invoice includes a refundable deposit of SEK 2,500. The deposit may be forfeited if the accommodation is not properly cleaned or if items are missing upon departure.

Payment Deadlines

Autumn semester: One full rental period must be paid by 1 August
Spring semester: One full rental period must be paid by 31 December
We will contact you if your payment has not been received by the deadline.

Full-Year Students

Full-year students must pay the full rent for the second semester (spring) by 31 January.
Full-year students staying from January to January and remaining over the summer must pay rent for the summer months.This means the first invoice covers 7 months, and the invoice for the autumn semester covers 5 months.

Payment instructions

We kindly ask you not to use payment intermediaries such as Revolut, Western Union, Wise, and similar services, as they pose a significant risk of causing problems with the payment. In many cases, the sender’s name and invoice number is not visible, which means the payment cannot be matched to the invoice.
Your invoice number and payer's name must be included as reference.
Payment in EUR or USD is acceptable at your bank's current currency rate.
Note: you are responsible for any bank and transfer charges.
