The Housing Office holds the right to withdraw a housing offer, if the instalment payment (the first rent, deposit, and bedding fee) isn't made before the set deadline. The first rent is non-refundable, regardless of which party that initiated the cancellation.

The rental agreement is binding from the time the instalment payment is received by Malmö University, even if a formal contract has not yet been signed. Once the rental agreement is binding neither Malmö University nor MKB Fastighet can terminate it in advance. The tenant can terminate the rental agreement with one calendar month's notice.

The above terms apply even if the tenant’s residence permit is declined, or if the tenant for some other reason is unable to come to Sweden.

In order to get a refund of the deposit and the one-off fee for duvet and pillow, the request for termination must be received no less than one calendar month before the start of the rental agreement.

The Housing Office holds the right to make deduction from the deposit for unpaid rent, damage, lost keys, and failed room inspection when moving out.

Rental agreements are written for one semester at a time. The Housing Office cannot guarantee extensions for all tenants.

Tenants who wish to prolong their rental agreements over summer, will be able to do so provided that the housing rules and regulations have been met.

Tenants who wish to prolong their rental agreement for the following semester, must meet the requirements below:

• have completed at least 14 credits
• be enrolled in full-time studies as a tuition fee-paying student for the following semester or as an exchange student with an exchange period of two semesters
• have paid all of tuition fees on time (fee-paying students)
• have met the housing rules and regulations

All University Housing tenants must have a valid home insurance, or an equivalent insurance, during the tenancy period. Tenants are required to submit a copy of their insurance letter to the Housing Office within the first week of moving in.

Incoming exchange students are covered by ‘Student IN’ through Kammarkollegiet, which has a property as well as a liability cover. This insurance can be equated to a home insurance policy issued by a private insurance company. The Housing Office recommend tenants obtain a private home insurance as well, since those usually have far better conditions and coverage.

Student housing available through Malmö University (University Housing) at Rönngården and Celsiusgården is primarily distributed to students who are eligible for a housing guarantee. Possible vacancies are distributed to exchange students admitted to fulltime studies for an academic year or a full semester, depending on their agreement.

Distribution Order:

• Fee paying students (housing guarantee applies to fee paying students having paid their tuition fee before deadline 1 June)
• Linnaeus Palme
• Bilateral agreements
• Erasmus
• NordPlus

In order to qualify to the first round of distribution, the application for University Housing must be filled in and sent before deadline, via the online application form. Late applicants is put on a waiting list.

If Malmö University cannot accommodate all full-time exchange students, the priority is done accordingly:

• Fair distribution between faculties at Malmö University.
• A balanced representation from different universities in Europe
• Duration of stay
