FAQ

What is Akademisk kvart?

Akademisk kvart is a platform where those who have a residence to let can place and ad and students who are in need of accommodation can find it. To be able to advertise or reply to ads you need to register on the website. Registering with Akademisk kvart is not the same as registering in a housing queue, but gives you access to the information available on the website. Any communication between advertisers and interested persons takes place directly between the two through the contact details the advertiser has chosen to publish or through the website’s messaging function.

How do I place an ad?

To place and ad, go to the home page and click on “Place an ad”. Enter all the information required in the form. When you submit an ad, a user account is created for you using the email address you have entered under “About you”. You will receive an automatic email from us regarding creating a password – this will be needed if you wish to advertise with us again later on.

When you have submitted your ad it will be manually reviewed and, if it complies with our advertising conditions, it will be published. If the ad does not comply with our conditions you will receive an e-mail with information about what needs to be corrected for the conditions to be med. You can find our conditions here.   

Why do I have to submit my Swedish personal identity number when submitting an ad?

Your Swedish personal identity number will only be seen by we who are reviewing the ads and are employed by SSCO. We do not share any personal data with any third parties. During our routine screening we will check who the Swedish personal identity number belongs to and what address this person is registered (folkbokförd) at. This is done to ensure the legitimacy of the ads that are posted and prevent fraud. 

It says that my e-mail address already is registered. What does that mean?

If you have advertised through Akademisk kvart previously a user account will have been created the first time you submitted your ad. Then you also would have received an e-mail with a link to create a password. If you have forgotten your password you can create a new one by following the instructions below.

I have forgotten my password. What should I do?
