If you cannot pay your invoice via credit card online or bank transfer – we accept card payments in our reception at Kungsgatan 27.

Transfer from Swedish bank account
We recommend that you contact a bank to apply for a Swedish internet bank account. In order to open a bank account some banks may require you to have a civil registration number (personnummer). Bring your passport and your letter of admission to Uppsala University to the bank when applying.

International Transfer
If you prefer to use your bank account from home you can make an international transfer. Conditions for transferring money from foreign banks vary, so you should inquire about this at your bank to avoid unnecessary extra costs.

A “student corridor” is a traditional Swedish student accommodation form. In a student corridor you have your own private bedroom but share kitchen and sometimes other facilities with 3-12 other tenants.

The word “student corridor” derives from the fact that the bedrooms typically lie along a corridor with the shared facilities either in the middle or at the ends of the corridor.

As is written in your contract, you can terminate your contract early but there is a notice period to take into account. In our student accommodation the notice period is three full calendar months. For example, If you would like to terminate the contract by April 30^th you have to inform us on January 31^st at the very latest. If you send us the termination request from February 1^st or later, you will also be liable to pay rent for the month of May. Send your request for termination to info@housingoffice.se.
