You can find other companies and private landlords at:

NB! Your future landlord might charge a deposit in connection with your taking up residence. The deposit may amount to three monthly rents. The sum will be repaid after an executed and approved inspection of the flat. Your landlord will answer questions concerning a possible deposit charge and the state of the flat after your removal.

Please, also observe that you have to pay the full price for the first and last month of your stay (January – June in the spring semester, August – January in autumn semester) even though you choose to come later / leave earlier!

You will have to sign a Tenancy Agreement when you arrive.
