Extend your housing contract

How does it work?

You can extend only for full semesters, and only for as long as you have studies. You can extend until the projected end of your studies.

• To make an extension request, please log in to your housing account and make a support ticket under the tab "Contract request". Specify your new desired end date (this must always be the last date of any given month).
• Extension requests must be submitted at least three months before the end of the contract. Late requests may be denied.
  • Example: if your contract ends in December, your request must be received before the end of October.
• Extensions can be cancelled following our normal contract cancellation rules, giving at least two full calendar months' notice.

Please note that due to overlapping departures and arrivals for autumn and spring semester students in January, we are unable to grant extensions of only one month (January) to students who only attend studies during the Autumn semester.

Who can extend?

Any student who has studies for the upcoming semester (or longer) can extend their contract for the full period of their studies. When LU Accommodation receives an extension request, we will verify the study records of the tenant in order to approve or deny the request.

Extension period

There are no longer extension periods as such. An extension request can be sent in as soon as a tenant has confirmed studies for the period they wish to extend for. All extension requests must be sent in at least two months before the contract end date however, and we strongly recommend tenants to send in their requests as early as possible, to secure their housing.

Last dates to send an extension request per semester are provided below for reference:
