Rönngården Residence Hall

With views over the Malmö skyline, Rönngården accommodates up to 132 students in a traditional dormitory setting. The residence offers simple, practical housing with furnished rooms designed to meet the basic needs of student life and academic focus.

Although located in the city centre, Rönngården functions as a residential campus environment. All rooms have private bathrooms, controlled access to the building, on‑call maintenance, and access to fully equipped shared kitchens. Free laundry facilities and internet connection are included.

Rönngården provides a straightforward and functional living arrangement where students live alongside others from different academic and cultural backgrounds. The residence is intended to support everyday student living rather than offer an enhanced or service‑oriented housing experience.

Cancellation policy

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 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.

The tenant can terminate the rental agreement with one calendar month's notice. A calendar months’ notice means that, when you give your notice, the agreement will cease to be in effect after a full month, e.g. if you give notice of termination on February 15th, the lease will terminate on March 31.

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 period

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

The tenant shall, without prompting, pay the monthly rent in advance to Malmö University by the last working day before the start of the new month. Rent is paid for ten months out of twelve with the exception of contract periods starting April, June or July, - then rent is paid for twelve months.

Home insurance

All University Housing tenants must have a valid home insurance, or an equivalent insurance, during the tenancy period.

Incoming exchange students are covered by ‘Student IN’ through Kammarkollegiet, and tuition fee-paying students are covered by 'FAS' through Kammarkollegiet. Both insurances 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.

Insurance for tuition fee-paying students in Sweden - FAS
