Tybblegatan/"Studio 94"

The accommodation you have been given is a studio flat on Tybblegatan 94.
The rooms are newly renovated. The first students moving in was in the autumn 2020. (Note!  The front door to the apartment, as well as the rest of the building, like walls in the corridor, a few other apartments and stairwell, will be renovated, probably during 2022-23).
The building is owned by K2A Svenska Studenthus but the rooms are sublet to you by Örebro University.  

Your accommodation is made up by a room with a kitchenette, a bathroom, and a small hall.  

What’s included? See inventory list, below

• The room has a kitchenette with an induction cooker, microwave oven with grill function, fridge and freezer, a built-in desk, a 90 cm spring bed with mattress protection cover that is secured against bed bugs, and a curtain rod. This original furniture belongs to the apartment.
• In the bathroom, besides toilet, shower, sink, bathroom cabinet, and a drying rack, you also have a combined washer and dryer.
• For information on how the various appliances work, read the instruction books that have been placed in one of the kitchen drawers.

At ORU, we have chosen to furnish the apartment with Ikea furniture. This furniture also belongs to and must not be removed from the apartment. It is important that you take care of the furniture and that you in case of damage notify us immediately. If we discover damage when inspecting the apartment after your departure, you will be liable to pay.

In the corridor, you will find a store with one vacuum cleaner, one mop with bucket and a broom with dustpan (in some corridors there are at the moment no storage space, if so, you will find the cleaning equipment in the corridor).

These are intended for all of you in corridor to share when cleaning your rooms. It is therefore important that you do not store these items in your room. It is also important to keep them clean. No one wants to use dirty items for cleaning.
If the vacuum cleaner would break, you are out of dust bags for the vacuum cleaner or the mop and bucket need to be replaced, you can contact housing@oru.se
Other cleaning supplies and detergents you need to purchase yourself.

Inventory list furniture:

• one mattress for the bed
• one stool
• one small table
• one armchair
• one small kitchen table
• two chairs
• one ceiling lamp
• one roller blind (installed 2021)

For the kitchen space, we have chosen to buy a basic assortment of kitchen utensils. If you need more, you can buy it yourself. Keep in mind that what belongs to the apartment should stay in the apartment on departure. You choose if you want to leave any unbroken and working kitchen utensils that you have purchased yourself for the next student.

Inventory list kitchen utensils:

• Two dinner plates
• Two soup bowls
• Two small plates
• Two glasses
• Two tea/coffee cups
• Two of each cutlery, fork, knife, spoon and teaspoon
• Set of 3 pots and one frying pan
• Two pot coasters
• Two potholders
• Knife set, consisting of two knives
• One baking dish
• One cutting board

Tip!

You may want to buy your own curtains, rugs for the floor, and a shower curtain for the bathroom.

Note!

Above the cooker, there is a fan and a pull-out cover. When cooking, remember to pull out the cover for best results for extraction.
When cooking a lot, please keep in mind to clean the filters. You can take down the filter by simply pressing the button and loosen the entire cassette.
Carefully unscrew the soft filter that is fastened with a thin metal wire. Let both soak in warm water with a little washing-up liquid. Rinse thoroughly and let dry before putting them back.

Important!

Remember not to use too many appliances at the same time. For example, if you are using the microwave oven, a hair dryer and the toaster at the same time, or the microwave oven, kettle and cooker, the fuse will blow and there will be no electricity in your flat.

To get electricity back, you need to go out into the corridor, find the fuse box and look at the list on the wall to identify the fuses to your apartment. Flick the switch to restore electricity.

Always show consideration. Everything is more pleasant if we talk to each other!

Many disturbances arise because people don’t realise that noise can be heard from their flats.

You can solve most problems by talking with your neighbour and meeting halfway.

Tip! Inform your neighbours if you’re planning a party. If they know about it in advance, they will usually overlook laughter and music a little louder than usual. Who knows, maybe it’ll be your neighbour’s turn to have a party next time?

Please remember you’re responsible for how your guests behave inside the building.

What is unacceptable disturbance?

All tenants must follow our general rules to ensure everyone in a building is happy. The rules include examples of activities that could cause a disturbance and should be avoided. If any such problem should occur near your flat, you can get help solving it in the best way possible.

What to do if something nearby is causing a disturbance:

If you want to report a disturbance, see below: Urgent matters and disturbances outside office hours.

The security company will then call you shortly afterwards and, together with you, decide if a personal visit is necessary or if some other measures might be sufficient enough.

The security company will request your name and address to contact you if they need additional information. Furthermore, they will try to call you later to let you know how they handled the situation.

Note: Örebro University’s Housing Office will be notified of every report and call-out.

What happens to those causing a disturbance?

Different kinds of disturbances are handled in different ways. For example, if the disturbance is still occurring when the security company arrives, the person disturbing will typically have to pay for the call-out cost. The Housing Office will then inform them by letter what has occurred.

This letter will also demand an improvement in future behaviour; sometimes, the security company will also make a follow-up visit.

If a tenant grossly or repeatedly violates the rules below, the landlord has the right to terminate their tenancy agreement according to Sections 42 and 46 of the Swedish Housing Act to protect other tenants from disturbances.

Always show consideration towards other tenants, especially between 10 PM and 7 AM when most people want to sleep.

• Avoid playing loud music or having your radio/television at a high volume.
• Avoid loud discussions and shouting – it may be heard easier than you think.
• Remember not to work or engage in other activities in your flat that might disturb other tenants. Like playing musical instruments, doing your laundry at late hours, or taking a shower in the middle of the night.
• Applies only to Studentgatan/” Brick Lane”.
  Keep your pet on a lead within the residential area. Remember, there might be tenants who are afraid of dogs and cats.
• Never feed birds from your balcony or your windows. Birds are nice, but they very easily create a mess. 
  A translation of Section 25 of the Swedish Housing Act states that “When the tenant uses the flat, they shall ensure that those living in the surrounding area are not exposed to disturbance of such a nature that it could be harmful to health or otherwise impair the domestic environment to the point that it (the disturbance) should not reasonably be tolerated. In addition, the tenant shall, during the time they are using the flat, always behave in a manner required to maintain health, order, and the good condition of the property in question.”

General provisions and code of conduct for rental student accommodation

1. The tenant must never have pets of any kind within the flat or common areas. 
Note: pets are allowed only on Studentgatan/“Brick Lane”.

2. The tenant shall comply with the regulations concerning shared cleaning responsibility for common areas. The landlord takes care of cleaning entrances, corridors, and stairs.

3. The tenant shall ensure the front door of the building is closed as well as doors to the corridors. Do not prop up the doors with objects to prevent them from closing. Make sure windows are closed. Do not let people in who do not live in the building. It is important that unauthorised persons cannot enter the building.

4. The tenant knows there is a smoking ban within the flat and in common areas indoors. This also applies to balconies.

5. The tenant shall not play loud music or otherwise disturb other tenants and/or surrounding housing.

6. Responsibility also applies to outdoor activities within the property.

7. The tenant has an obligation to the landlord to pay for any costs that may incur following emergency calls and the like if costs arise as a result of the tenant or a person for whom the tenant is responsible disturbing the surroundings or otherwise failing to observe everything required for the preservation of order and good condition of the property.

8. The tenant shall not place objects in corridors, stairwells, or other common areas.

9. The tenant may not put up signs, awnings, balcony protectors, satellite dishes or outdoor antennas on the property without the landlord’s permission.

10. The tenant understands that when they use the property, they must make all efforts required to maintain its order and condition. The tenant undertakes to take good care of the property and all equipment and, without delay, notify the landlord of any damage or defect requiring immediate repair in order not to cause or worsen any damage.

11. Upon relocation, the tenant shall leave the dwelling, the associated common areas, and the storage room well-cleaned and freed from all personal belongings.

12. The tenant undertakes to compensate for any damage caused by the tenant to the dwelling and furnishings and to compensate costs for cleaning unoccupied housing and furnishings. And, if necessary, to replace any inventory.

13. The tenant undertakes to return at the end of the rental period all receipted keys belonging to the dwelling and shared spaces.

Keep in mind that staff at the Housing Office can only notify the internet provider if you do not get any contact/access at all and if the outlet in the wall is broken.

• You are responsible for connecting all equipment correctly and making sure you have the right setting on your computer.

The landlord K2A, Svenska Studenthus has signed a collective service agreement with Bahnhof.

This means that all residents will have access to the 1,000/1,000 Mbit/s internet service. The service includes 6 free e-mail accounts, a separate domain and website. You manage the services by logging into your customer page with the customer number and password. Included in this service is a router provided by Svenska Studenthus.

Getting started
Here is how:

1. Connect your router with a network cable (that you have to provide yourself) to the Internet socket located in your home.
2. Turn on your computer and open a web browser. You will automatically come to the login page http://dhcp.bahnhof.se. If you do not, you can enter the address manually in the address field of your browser.
3. On the page, select "I want to register as a new customer" and follow the instructions. After registering, you may need to restart your equipment (computer and router, if any).
4. When done, you should be able to surf.

If you do not succeed.

The page will probably ask for a Swedish personal identity number which you do not have as a foreign student. Instead, call the support desk for help:
Customer service – +46 10-510 00 00

They will gladly help you with the connection.

Internet provider Bahnhof will create an account for you since you do not have a personal identity number.

Always remember to inform them that the internet is included in the rent.

Important about router and cable

All these items must be left in the room/apartment upon departure.

If anything is missing you will be liable and will receive an invoice.

The router costs 1,100 SEK. The cable to the router 100 SEK.

Adapter
The electric current in Sweden is 230 volts. An adapter may be necessary if you bring electrical equipment from countries with a different electric current.

Indoor temperature

• Temperature indoors should be around 21 degrees Celsius (+/- 0.5).
• The air’s a bit more humid in autumn, so you might feel colder indoors. Consider buying a thermometer.
• A thermometer should be at least one meter above the floor in the middle of the room. It shouldn’t be placed near a window, wall, or floor.
• If you suspect it’s cold or too warm, note the temperature and time over a few days. If it’s lower than 20 degrees, contact the Housing Office, and we’ll report it to the landlord.
• A thermometer can be purchased at most grocery stores.
   

Who to contact  

If furniture, lights in common areas, cooker, fridge, freezer etc is broken or not working, if there is a clog in the drain or in the sink etc you can email the Housing Office at housing@oru.se and we will report the fault/problem to K2A.

For urgent problems K2A will come as soon as possible, for less urgent it can take up to 5 working days.

When the caretaker from K2A comes to your accommodation to fix your problem they will always use their own master key to enter. Before entering they always knock or ring the doorbell.

If you need new dust bags, mops, fan filters, showerhead, or toilet seat, email the Housing Office at housing@oru.se

Urgent matters and disturbances outside office hours
During evenings, nights, and weekends, you can report urgent or serious cases of disturbance to
CSG ÖREBRO Störningsjour och låsöppning for on-call security and locksmith services

Telephone number +46 19-26 40 50

Your report will be registered. The security company will then call you shortly afterwards, and together you will decide if a personal visit is necessary or if some other measures might be sufficient at this time.

• Make sure windows and doors are closed in the corridor.

Bed linens are required!

For hygienic reasons, bedlinen must always be used: pillowcases, sheets, and duvet covers.

Recommendation: always wash your bedlinen at 60 degrees and every fourteen days – minimum.

If you suspect there are bedbugs, contact the Housing Office immediately: housing@oru.se. We will contact pest control for an inspection. Sanitising is free of charge!

Using detergents and sufficient cleaning products is necessary

• Always use the correct cleaning product for what you intend to clean – bathroom cleaners for bathrooms.

• NEVER use dishcloths and sponges from the kitchen to clean your room or bathroom/toilet.
• Using the correct cleaners makes for easier and better cleaning; using the wrong cleaners is ineffective and can ruin surfaces.
• Cleaning tip 1 – Don’t use excessive detergent or water when cleaning. A slightly damp cloth or floor mop will often get better results – too much water often results in streaks and stains and may still look dirty.

Outside the mailbox room, there is a digital screen that shows who lives in what apartment in the building.

Parking if you have brought your own car.

• You can use the parking lots located on the other side of the white building in front of Tybblegatan 114.
• Follow the instructions on the parking meter. (Paying for a month is a cheaper option than paying daily.)
• For information about which parking company payment is made to, what number the parking area/parking zone (zone code) has and what payment methods are offered, you must first read the sign for the car park where you intend to park.
• The most convenient way to pay for parking is by downloading the app that applies to the car park where you intend to park and pay via the app, once you have connected it to your bank card.
• There may be other payment options such as, with bank card or Swish, at the parking meter.

It has been good having you!
Here is a list of sustainable tips before leaving us.

• If it is in good shape, sell it! Help the environment while earning some money. On Facebook, sell on Marketplace, or other popular selling groups, for example, a local Facebook networking group for Örebro University students called “Dom kallar oss studenter”.
• Donate things to new student arrivals. Housing has a storage area for donating kitchen utensils and smaller items– NO textiles, furniture, etc. You are welcome to come by and leave it with us during our opening hours. Please make sure what you donate is clean and in good condition.
• Donate unwanted items. Instead of throwing them away, donate them to local charities or thrift stores (Myrorna, Röda korset, Ge för livet, Erikshjälpen, Bergslagens bistånd, Emmaus)
• Recycle! Leave recyclable materials at a recycling station before leaving your residence.
• Use reusable bags. Pack your belongings or packages in reusable bags instead of plastic bags before leaving them at a recycling station.
• Use public transportation. If possible, instead of renting a car or taking a taxi.
• Need a ride – carpool! Ask a friend! Maybe you can go together.
• When cleaning, use environmentally friendly products. It is better for your health and the planet.
• Eat all your food before you go. Otherwise, leave food with a friend. Or clean out your fridge and have a potluck party with your neighbours  – Knytkalas in Swedish!

Selling items to the next student (Exchange students)

Selling or donating your things is a good idea. We suggest visiting the Facebook group “ORU buy and sell”. You may also contact exchange@oru.se However, Housing Office staff cannot get involved.

How you work out the storage of what you sell is up to you. Nothing may be left in the common areas, kitchens, closets, or other areas in or outside the room/apartment/building.

Selling and leaving your stuff in the room isn’t allowed either, as not everyone washes their belongings or cleans their rooms satisfactorily, leading to sanitary problems.

Housing Office has a storage/shelf where you can donate things to the new students arriving next semester. Note we only take kitchen utensils and smaller items. NO textiles, furniture etc. You are more than welcome to come by and leave it with us during our opening hours. Please make sure what you donate is in good and clean condition.

If anything is left after your departure it will be removed during the cleaning inspection.

It is very important that you hand in the keys at the Housing Office!

• These options are available for return of the room key.

  1. To us directly at our office Långhuset L1613.
  2. Drop the keys in key deposit located outside on the right side of the entrance of Entréhuset.
  3. If you can't make it with these two alternatives, a friend can hand in the keys for you. Remember you are responsible for the keys until housing Office has received them.
  Please note that the office is closed on weekends and public holidays.

Remember that you are responsible for the keys until the Housing Office have got them back. If a friend is returning the keys, please let us know what date they will hand in the keys and the name of that person by emailing housing@oru.se.
