Staying with us
We hope that you are having a nice stay in our apartments. Make sure to pay your rent on time and contact us if you need to move out earlier. Below we have also gathered solutions to some questions. We are unable to send invoices to other universities.
Paying your rent
Rent is always paid in advance and for all days up to and including the last day of the contract. There is a notification period of minimum 2 full calendar months in case you wish to cancel your contract earlier than the set end date. You must pay rent for the whole notification period.
Paying with card in Mobility Online
You will receive the invoice by email and you pay the rent with your card directly in Mobility Online. Only use the same invoice once, as each invoice has a unique invoice number.
Paying with bank transfer
If your card cannot make online transactions you need to contact rentinvoice@kth.se before making any bank transfer. You will then receive specific instructions on how to do it corrrectly. When paying with bank transfer the payment is not automatically approved in Mobility Online, and it is important that you email us first.
Problems paying
Rent is a condition for keeping the contract. If there are any delays or issues, contact rentinvoice@kth.se .
Rent adjustments
Rent prices are annually adjusted by the landlords, and as a result, KTH adjusts the rents accordingly. During 2025 the increase is expected to be 6-10% divided on several occassions. The first adjustment is planned for January 1st 2025 and prices on the website have been updated to reflect the new prices per location.
Changing your contract
Extending a contract
KTH will not extend your contract after the first year. You will need to find housing on your own. Make sure you are in the housing queues that we recommend under Finding housing on your own . We also suggest talking to friends and building a network to find new housing.
Moving out earlier
If you want to terminate the contract before the original ending date, it is required that you request this in written to accommodation@kth.se at least two full calendar months before the date you want to end the contract. For example, if you want to end your contract on 31 May, you must submit your request by 31 March. See notification deadlines in the table on under End your contract early . As a tenant, you are the person financially responsible for the full two month notice period.
Problems during your stay
Any faults in your apartment
Please fill out the form for fault reports .
Lost keys
During business hours, Monday-Friday you can contact KTH Accommodation/Housing to see if we can help you. Otherwise, you will need to call the emergency number for your building, found under your housing location . In some cases, you will need to call a locksmith, but check with the emergency service number first. Please note that in most cases, you will be charged for the costs for the lost keys and the locksmith.
Loud neighbors
If your neighbors have loud parties or in other ways disturb. First, try to talk to the neighbors and see if they can quiet down. Otherwise, contact Störningsjouren, if you have this service where you live (see your housing site) and report the noise.
Having guests
You are welcome to host a guest in your apartment for short periods. You are not allowed to take on a roommate or rent your apartment, or part of your apartment to anyone else.
Cold in the apartment
Swedish apartments should be 18 degrees C or warmer. If you suspect your apartment is colder than that, please report it to Fault reports . Space heaters are not allowed in our apartments. If you feel it is cold, you should wear a sweater or slippers indoors.
Recycling
In Sweden, less than 1 percent of all of our waste is placed in landfills. This is because we recycle almost everything, which is something you will learn to do when moving to Sweden. Most recycleing stations in or around your building has seperate recycling of plastic, magazines, paper packaging, glass, food waste and general waste that cannot be recycled. You must sort your garbage accordingly. Never place garbage outside of the bins as this is cosidered littering and you will be fined if you do this.
Bed bugs
If you have discovered bed bugs in your apartment, please fill out the form for fault reports . It is free for the tenant to get rid of the bed bugs.
