Book housing
For international students only:
You can only book housing if you have confirmation from your place of study that you will be offered student housing, and received a booking code from Sit. There are rooms and apartments reserved for this purpose.
Exceptions
- If there is vacant housing during the spring semester, other international students are allowed to rent as well. These housing contracts usually last until 31 July of the same year, and you will not be offered a new contract after this date.
- Your booking will be cancelled if you have previously breached your tenancy agreement with Sit.
Please note that you use the same booking service if you wish to rent a storage room or parking space.
How to book housing?
- Sit uses a booking service to rent out our rooms and apartments. This means that you book housing directly and that there is no waiting list. Please note that the contract must be signed digitally with BankID or Signicat within one hour from the start of the booking process. After one hour, the offer will be canceled, and the unit will be made available for other tenants. Manually signed contract will not be valid.
- Please note that most rooms and apartments show up in the booking service two months prior to being available. This is due to our two months period of notice.
- You book housing at bolig.sit.no
- Before booking you must confirm that you satisfy the requirements for renting student housing through Sit. If it is discovered that you do not satisfy these requirements, your tenancy agreement will be terminated.
- All the rooms in a shared apartment are available for all genders, nationalities, etc. We therefore point out that it is random who lives in the same shared apartment, depending on who books the rooms. For example, you can not choose to live with only people of the same gender.
- If the housing or housing type you want is not available, you can add a specific housing as a favorite or save a search for the desired housing type/student village. As soon as something becomes available, you will be notified by e-mail. Note that you have to be quick, because here it is first come, first served. If you no longer wish to receive notifications, you can turn off notifications yourself under your saved searches on "My page". You can also remove a saved search entirely.
Regarding your housing contract
- You get a housing contract that lasts until 31 July of this year or next year.
- Your contract will always start on the earliest available date for the selected room or apartment. You can’t select the starting date for your housing contract yourself.
- If you wish a contract that starts later, you will have to look for available rooms or apartments with a later contract start or take a chance on finding available housing later.
