Provided that the property owner is okay with two tenants sharing an apartment, it might be possible to share student housing, as long as the person signing the contract is a student. Please note that this is not always the case in the smaller student apartments, as sometimes the landlord only accepts one tenant.

Student housing for families

There are a few student apartments suitable for students with families; however, these are all two-bedroom apartments. If you haven’t gotten an offer of a two-bedroom student apartment, or you need a larger apartment than that, you primarily have two options; either find a regular apartment or try to find something suitable through subletting.

For the majority of student housing, rent is paid ten out of twelve months of the year (two months during the summer are rent-free).

If you do not have a Swedish bank account, you must have a guarantor with a Swedish bank account, or you might have to pay three months’ rent in deposit (plus one month’s rent in advance) in order to sign a rental agreement. This is regardless of whether you are looking for housing via Boplats Syd or through a private landlord.

If you rent a room in a private residence or sublet somebody else’s apartment, you usually also have to pay a deposit. The rent varies, ranging from 1000 SEK to 10,000 SEK. If your landlord requires a deposit, it is important, for both parties, that the contract clearly states the conditions for refund of the deposit. Always keep all rent receipts and payment details of the deposit, such as a bank statement. 

There are a few student apartments in Malmö that are suitable for students with disabilities. There are, for example, two student housing units at Malmö Studentshus which are fully adapted with kitchen appliances with adjustable heights. 

Boplats Syd lists the homes that are fully or partly accessible. Boplats Syd's policy stipulates that people in need of accessible housing are not given priority.

If you live in a student apartment or in a rental apartment, you must have home insurance. Many insurance companies currently offer special insurance deals for students; the conditions of these can vary between companies. We recommend that you contact different insurance companies to find the best offer.

If you sublet somebody's apartment or are a lodger, the original tenant's insurance does not usually cover damage that you cause. To avoid unnecessary costs, check with an insurance company to clarify coverage, or get insurance of your own.
