Pick up your keys during the term

If you are a new tenant, you must visit KTH Entré to pick up your keys and your signed contract. You can pick up your key from 13.00 on the starting date of your contract at the earliest. If the start date is on a weekend or a holiday you are welcome on the next regular work day from 13.00. Try to plan your arrival within KTH Entré opening hours , i.e weekdays during office hours. 

It is not possible to pick up the keys before the contract's start date. Only the contract holder can pick up the keys; you can not send a friend or relative to do so. Also, remember to bring your photo identification, for example, your passport.
