What is required from me when I arrive to Lund?

The following 4 steps must be completed before picking up the keys:

Please note that you are liable for rent from the start date of your contract even if you arrive later.

I will arrive before the start date of my contract. Is that possible?

You will unfortunately not be able to move into your room before the start date of your contract. If you arrive early you will have to arrange temporary housing for that period.

What do I need to do once I have moved into my room?

1. Complete the inventory report

The inventory can be found on your housing account. Please inspect the standard and the cleanliness of your room when you move in and fill out the inventory report to LU Accommodation within three days. The report is for our documentation, which is important when you move out. Any costs for cleaning or unreported damage caused to furniture and the room itself will be drawn from the deposit.

3. Make sure your name is on the letterbox

If your name is not stated on the letterbox, your mail may not be delivered, even though the adress is correct. A name tag will be given together with your keys. Please find your letterbox and place the name tag on it.
