WIP Teknikringen
Do you live at Teknikringen 45, 47, 58A, 68A or 70A? Here you will find information about your apartment, such as keys and locks, house rules, recycling and laundry.
House rules
-
There should be no loud noise between 10.00 PM and 7.00 AM. If disturbances are extreme or recurring, please let us know at housingoffice@kth.se and file a report with the police; call 11414.
-
Please leave the laundry rooms clean and tidy after using them.
-
Do not store items (such as bicycles) on the walkway outside the rooms, as it is an escape route.
-
This is a non-smoking building; you are not allowed to smoke in your apartment or the common areas. To show respect for the other tenants, do not smoke outside the entrance doors.
Key and lock
Activate the key
Upon arrival, you will receive an electronic key for the entrance door, the laundry room, and your apartment. You need to activate the electronic key at the key reader at the building entrance door every time you enter; otherwise, you may not be able to enter your apartment. If the apartment door key reader shows red despite scanning at the main entrance, hold the key at the main entrance key reader for 10 seconds.
Locking and unlocking instructions
Always lock the apartment door when leaving. To lock the door: place your tag at the key reader outside your apartment door. If you wish to lock the door when you are home: open the door, place your tag at the key reader outside your apartment door, then shut the door. The inside door handle will always get you out of the apartment, but opening it will not change the settings you have made with your tag. Never push the door handle up - the door handle may temporarily stop functioning from the outside.
Do you have any problems with the key or the lock?
Household garbage
- 4 disposal bins are located outside Teknikringen 68A, across the road. Another set of 4 disposal bins is located along Teknikringen road, behind house 47.
-
Please note that these bins are meant for household trash only.
-
Always put your garbage in a garbage bag, securely tied togheter before disposal.
- Always put the garbage bags inside the bins. Otherwise, rats and other vermin might gather. If someone else made a mistake and left garbage on the ground, please help throw it in the bins.
Recycling
All houses use the recycling room on the back side of house 47. Flatten all packaging, sort your trash and throw it in the correct bin. Signs are in both Swedish and English.
How to open the windows
The large windows at Teknikringen should only be opened in the airing position, as shown in the instructions. Press the top and bottom simultaneously while turning the handle 90 degrees. Then you can tilt the window from the top. Do not open the window sideways. If you have trouble opening or closing the windows, make a fault report for assistance.
Laundry
- The laundry room for buildings 58A, 68A and 70A is located by the entrance of building 68A. The laundry room for buildings 45 and 47 is located on the second floor of building 45.
- You book the laundry room on the screens at the entrances with your electronic key. Studios have 4 slots, 2-bedroom apartments have 8 slots, and 3-bedroom apartments have 12 slots each month, free of charge. It is up to the tenants to divide the slots between themselves so that each tenant gets 4. There is a limit to the number of bookings that can be active at the same time for an apartment.
- Washing detergent is already in the machine and is automatically dispensed during the wash cycle.
-
Please wash full loads to be considerate of the environment.
- Please clean the lint filters after drying (or the laundry won't dry properly), and leave the laundry rooms clean and tidy after use.
-
Make sure to use the machines you have reserved during your booked time slot.
Mailbox
-
Mailboxes are located at the entrances of the buildings; you receive one mailbox key per apartment.
- Make sure that your name is on the mailbox.
- When registering your address with the Swedish Tax Office, use the last four digits of the apartment number. The full apartment number is stated on your contract.
Bicycle room
In the basement of the SKH Opera building, with an entrance from level -1 on the side opposite the Teknikringen 68A building, there is a bicycle room for residents in the Teknikringen buildings. Use your key tag to enter. You may need to activate the key the first time by holding it towards the reader for 10 seconds.
Fire safety
- All apartments have smoke detectors installed, and it is absolutely forbidden to remove the batteries and/or the device. Without a smoke detector installed, you are risking your own and others' safety, and your home insurance will not be valid in the event of an incident.
- The buildings are designed so that each apartment is a fire cell. In the event of a fire in one of the apartments, it will be contained inside as long as the door remains closed. There is an automatic fire safety system in the building, with ventilation/fans, that is triggered by smoke.
- In case of fire in your apartment, go out of the apartment, close the door firmly and call 112.
Internet
Internet access is not included in the rent. To select an internet provider and get internet access, you will need two ethernet cables, or one cable and a router to connect your computer in the room. You will choose an internet provider through GlobalConnect (formerly known as Open Universe). Please call 00(+)46-0200 43 00 00 and press 9. Some international calls have trouble getting through; in that case, use a friend's phone. GlobalConnect will guide you on which internet service providers are available without a Swedish personal number. The media converter in the cupboard is part of the fixed installation and is the property of KTH Housing.
