Conditions for KTH Housing
Before applying for housing through KTH Housing, check out the conditions that apply.
Room availability
KTH have a limited number of rooms and the capacity varies from one year to another. Some student groups are prioritized while others must find housing on their own. Find out what applies to your student group under
eligibility and application
.
Possibility of choosing your accommodation
Eligible applicants for KTH Housing are instructed to follow through with several steps in our booking system, Mobility Online. One of the required steps is to choose your preferred type of accommodation in the housing application. There are a limited number of apartments and we cannot guarantee that you will be offered one of your top preferences. Your chances of getting one of your preferences are the same no matter when you apply within the application process.
Replying to your offer
When the application period is over, we start booking and sending accommodation offers. If you receive an offer you can choose to accept or reject, but no new offer will be made. You have a limited number of days to accept. The first rent invoice is sent out after you accept your accommodation offer and is due before the due date on the invoice.
Bringing a spouse or family
The number of apartments suitable for families is limited. Therefore, we can only gurantee housing for the admitted student if he or she receives a housing offer. If you plan to bring your spouse and/or children, state this in your application, and we will try to find suitable accommodation in one of our locations.
If you are only coming with a spouse, we can likely assist with housing through KTH but the offer you receive may not reflect your selected preference in location and type of housing.
Pets are not allowed in the apartments. If you have medical needs that require an assistance dog, you will need to contact KTH Housing via email at the time of your application.
Pre-existing medical condition
If you have any pre-existing medical condition that affects your housing needs, please mention this when filling in the application for housing.
We will try to allocate you in a suitable accommodation, depending on vacancies.
Contract duration
KTH Housing offers housing for 1-2 semesters. If you are planning to stay longer, you will need to organise further accommodation on your own . We strongly recommend signing up for the Stockholm Student Housing Foundation (SSSB) housing queue as soon as possible. The longer time spent in the queue, the higher the chance of finding housing after your KTH Housing contract expires.
Contracts for one semester with start in August 2025 ends in mid-january (8 January), near the end of semester. In June the standard end date is 30 June. Contracts for spring term 2025/2026 starts 12-13 January. Read more and plan your arrival to ensure you can move in without delay.
Rent
Rent is paid monthly in advance and is a condition for keeping the contract. The first rent is due shortly after you receive and accept your accommodation offer. Read more on how to pay at How to pay the rent .
Subletting
Subletting is strictly forbidden and can lead to the termination of the contract.
