Yes! Akademisk kvart is aimed at students and prospective students.

As a landlord, it may be a good idea to ask for a certificate of study or admission notice to ensure that the person is a student.

Akademisk kvart is a housing platform aimed at students in Stockholm.

We work to arrange housing with a rent that is reasonable in relation to students' finances, and to make renting between private individuals and students easier and safer.

The term “akademisk kvart” (academic quarter) comes from university towns such as Uppsala and Lund.

In the past, lectures began a quarter of an hour after the appointed time, as students lacked their own clocks and instead went by the striking of the church bells. The extra quarter of an hour made it possible to be on time.

The name reflects our connection to student life – and the idea of making everyday life a little easier to manage.

No, Akademisk kvart does not have a housing queue.

Instead, private individuals publish their ads directly on the platform, and you as a student can contact them yourself and register your interest. This means that the process is often faster than in traditional queues.

As a landlord, you choose who you want to rent to.

However, to use Akademisk kvart, you need to rent to students and follow our advertising conditions.

This means, among other things, that ads may not contain requirements or wishes that violate the Discrimination Act, for example, related to gender, ethnicity or nationality.

Akademisk kvart is a non-profit organization and is financed by SSCO with the support of Stockholm University, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Södertörn University and Karolinska Institutet.

This means that the platform is free to use and that our focus is on creating a functioning housing market for students.

All advertisers are registered with BankID and the ads on Akademisk kvart are reviewed manually.

At the same time, it is important that you as a user are vigilant. Ask for clear information, ask questions and make sure that a written agreement is in place before you move in or rent out.

Yes. This is called having a lodger, which means that you rent out a room in your home while you yourself still live there.

It is a common form of rental on Akademisk kvart and can be a good way to share housing and costs.

When you have a lodger, a room in the home is rented out and the landlord still lives there.

In the case of a sublet, the entire home is rented out. The difference affects, among other things, which rules apply, for example regarding notice periods and permits.

In many cases, a permit is required from, for example, a landlord or housing association to sublet.

What applies can vary depending on the form of housing, so it is important to find out what applies in your particular situation before you rent out.

Akademisk kvart can provide general guidance, but for more specific questions, it may be a good idea to contact your landlord, association or other relevant party.
