Rent terms

In order to sign a rental agreement, you must be able to show valid identification documents and a receipt showing that your student union fees have been paid. The student union should be affiliated to the Stockholm Federation of Student Unions, SSCO, or you should be able to provide a certificate confirming that you are on a vocational course. You also need to provide a study program résumé or certificate in conjunction with the signing of the contract. Micasa Fastigheter reserves the right to carry out independent checks on applicants.
 
Student accommodation is granted as temporary housing, on condition that you are pursuing active university or college studies (at least 10 credits/semester, or for vocational courses at least 8 credits/semester).
 
Rental period / Moving in
The rental period applies from the 1st or 16th of the month. If the 1st or 16th falls on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, Midsummer Eve, Christmas Eve or New Year’s Eve, the tenant will instead move in on the next working day.
 
Rent
Rent is paid monthly in advance for the 12 months of the year. Rent levels are fixed in accordance with the negotiation procedure of the Tenants’ Association in Greater Stockholm, which applies for the other Micasa Fastigheter accommodation.
 
Study data check
You must achieve at least 10 credits, or 8 vocational credits, per semester. The tenant is obliged to supply certificates to support their study results. Micasa Fastigheter can terminate the rental agreement if you discontinue your studies.
 
Notice period
The rental agreement is a provisional agreement. If the rental agreement relates to a student apartment in a property that is to be rebuilt, an agreement is signed waiving the right to security of tenure.
However, the mutual notice period is always three calendar months.
 
Apartment change
Change of student accommodation refers to the exchange between two tenants within Micasa Fastigheter’s student accommodation portfolio. The exchange can be approved if both parties satisfy the requirements in terms of study merits (no less than 10 credits per semester) and are able to present a receipt for paid student’s union fees for the current semester. Certificates are presented in conjunction with the signing of the new rental agreement.
