Are you looking for a home? click here

To be able to get housing assigned to you by us at the student union, you must be accepted to a course or program of at least 15 credits at Kristianstad University. At the same time, you also have to look for housing yourself and report your searches before we can go ahead and find accommodation according to the guarantee.

How does the process work?

1. Register in our form on the housing portal. Link is on the website at the top.

2. Actively search for housing throughout Kristianstad for 30 days after registration and document your searches in this form.

3. Hopefully you have received some type of offer for housing here.

If you have not found housing yourself after 30 days:

4. When you have applied for 30 days without results, fill in this form and send it to the student union.

5. After you have applied for 30 days and sent in your form, the Corps then has 30 days to find accommodation for you.

The housing guarantee

Common questions and answers

What is the housing guarantee?

It is a collaboration between the municipality and KSK which means that everyone who studies at HKR with at least 15 HP should be able to get a roof over their head if you, as a student, have nowhere to live.

Apply via the housing guarantee?

Since the housing guarantee is only a protection if you cannot find housing, you need to actively search yourself through other landlords. The housing guarantee is not a housing queue but a way to show that you want to live in Kristianstad.

Can you apply if you already live somewhere else in Kristianstad?

You can apply if you are already registered in Kristianstad, but everyone who is registered outside Kristianstad has priority.

What kind of housing can you get?

You can be offered student accommodation in a room, apartment or part of an apartment. The residences must be located in Kristianstad municipality and have public transport with departures at least twice an hour and no further away from HKR than 30 minutes. We follow the recommendations from SFS:https://sfs.se/var-politik/bostader/.

How much rent can a home be?

We follow SFS's recommendations here as well and do not want an annual rent to exceed 35% of what a student has in income through student funds and possible housing allowance.

Can you apply before receiving the admission notice?

No, registration opens when the admission notice arrives and in order to get housing, you need to be accepted to a course or program at HKR of at least 15 credits.

Can more than one person live in a home from the guarantee?

The housing guarantee applies to the person who applied for it. Unfortunately, it cannot be guaranteed that the accommodation you get has room for more than one person.

Are pets allowed in the homes that you can get from the guarantee?

The housing guarantee applies to the person who applied for it. Since homes can come from both established and private landlords, there is no guarantee that pets are allowed in the home.

How does the warranty work if I have a functional variation?

The hope is that everyone will be able to apply for the housing guarantee to get a roof over their heads. But unfortunately, it does not always mean that the home you can get will be adapted for any functional variations.
