Housing service eligibility

Exchange students (including double degree and dual master exchange students) coming to KTH for the spring semester 2026 are welcome to apply for housing. However, please bear in mind that there is a limited stock of rooms and apartments, which means that housing is not guaranteed. We always recommend to search for housing on your own  in addition to applying with KTH Housing.

Application

All incoming exchange students starting January 2026 will be sent a welcome letter from KTH via email on 3 November with the housing application link. Remember to check your spam inbox. Please make sure to fill in the housing application form without delay and follow through with all steps required in Mobility Online before the deadline stated in the email in order to have a chance to housing through KTH Housing.

Once the application period closes, booking will start and offers will be sent out continuously. If you receive an offer, you have 48 hours to accept or decline it in Mobility Online. It is not possible to change the offer, or decline it and get another one. The aim is to have booked all vacancies and have notified all applicants by the end of November/early December.

Start date of the contracts will be 12 January, 2026 (with the exception of some contracts starting on 13 January due to availability). The default end date of the contract is 30 June, 2026 (including that night) with the possibility of contract changes with two full calendar months’ notice.
