Earlier this week, the approximately 40 remaining housing offers were sent out. Applicants who have received an offer need to respond by Sunday 22 December.
If an applicant has not received an offer at this time, the chances are very low that we will be able to offer any housing. More than ever, it is high time to search for housing through other means.
Housing offers
All applicants who have received an offer have until Sunday 22 December to respond, and sign the contract. After accepting the offer, applicants need to sign the digital contract which will be sent to their registered e-mail address from our provider Scrive. The reservation is confirmed only once the digital contract is signed.
Please note that all notifications from the system are sent to the e-mail address registered in your housing account. If you applied using your LU Student Account, this means the registered e-mail address is most probably your LU Student e-mail.
About the LU Student e-mail account
If an applicant does not respond to the offer, or sign the digital contract, the offer will be withdrawn next week, and sent to the next person in the queue. Please note that if you accept the offer and sign the contract, you may cancel the contract before 12 January free of charge.
Declining an offer
An applicant that does not reply to, or declines an offer, will be removed from the queue, as we can only make one offer per applicant per batch. They are welcome to rejoin the queue via their housing account, and apply for any future batch, but their queue position will have been reset.
Future batches
We will keep sending offers within this batch until the end of the year, and if we receive a significant amount of cancellations, we will publish a second batch of housing in early January. We cannot predict the amount or type of housing that would be included in this batch. All applicants in the queue will be notified when the next batch is published.
At the same time we will publish a batch of housing available from February. We estimate this amount to be approximately a dozen or so accommodations.
Other agencies
All applicants who have not received an offer are urged to look for housing through any and all available channels, especially the student unions' website BoPoolen, and AF Bostäder, the biggest student accommodation provider.

We wish you the best of luck in your search!
