1. Stay tuned
Our information channels are mostly the web page, our digital boards in the entrance and Instagram. Stay tuned and follow us there! @chalmersstudentbostader
2. Change of address
Once you’ve signed a contract with us, it’s important to register your new address with the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket). Without proper registration, you might miss out on benefits like housing allowance.
To register your move, simply visit the Swedish Tax Agency’s website and log in using your e-ID. Make sure to do this in advance or no later than a week after moving in—this way, your new address will be valid from your move-in date!
Since July 1, 2018, it’s illegal to provide incorrect information or fail to update your address when you move.
3. Home insurance
For your tenancy contract to be valid, you need to have home insurance during the entire tenancy period. Home insurance will provide you with basic protection in the case of burglary, water damage or fire, etc. Talk with your student union, they might have cooperation with an insurance company which can give you a discount.

When you move in, you will receive a couple of keys, to your apartment and your post box. You will also receive two electronic tags, so-called Aptus-tags, which gives you access to communal areas. You can read more about your keys and how to order extra via this link.
