Friend Housing
This housing type is suitable if you want to live with friends. You rent the entire flat and can sublease the other bedrooms to friends who are also students.
Responsibility
As the applicant and the one signing the tenancy contract with SiO, you take on a lot of responsibility. You are liable for the actions of your subtenants, for ensuring the rent is paid, for complying with the contract with SiO, and you will be responsible as the landlord for your subtenants.
Subleasing
To add you subtenants to your application, you need to download this form, fill it out, and send it to us.
Please remember that all subtenants must be approved by SiO. They must also be students and meet the criteria in our Allocation regulations.
You may sublease the other bedrooms for the entire period you are living in the flat, regardless of the usual six-month limit for subleasing.
We recommend that you sign sublease contract. Here you can find a sample sublease contract you may use.
Agree in advance
Before you apply and sign a contract, it's especially important that you discuss your expectations with each other. It’s a good idea to write down what you agree on.
Who will have the tenancy contract with SiO?
How do you split the rent?
Can everyone afford to pay their share of the rent?
What happens if someone suddenly can’t pay?
Or if someone causes damage and you receive a compensation claim from SiO?
What if someone wants to move out? Or go on exchange?
How will you divide up household chores and buy shared items like cleaning supplies or toilet paper?
How often is it OK to have guests, and should this be agreed in advance?
How will you raise concerns if problems arise?
It’s not uncommon for conflicts to arise when moving in with friends. This is often because you have different expectations and haven’t talked things through beforehand.
