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.

Replacement of elevators in Olav M. Troviks vei 2 - 4
We are replacing the elevators in Olav M. Troviks vei 2 in the second half of 2025, and the elevators in Olav M. Troviks vei 4 in the first half of 2026. The elevators will be out of service while the work is ongoing.
We have opened a temporary passage between the corridors in buildings 2 and 4 while the elevators are being replaced, so that tenants without a working elevator can use the elevators in the other building.
Elevator replacement in Olav M. Troviks vei 4
Work on the elevators in building 4 will take place: February 2 - May 22.
The elevators must be controlled and approved before they can be used. This is expected to happen by May 29, 2026.
Tenants in building 4 will get temporary access to the main entrance of building 2 during the works. It will only be possible to walk between the buildings from the 2nd floor and up, and tenants in building 4 will only have access to the floor they live on.
Working hours are Monday to Friday from 07:00 to 17:00. There will be construction noise throughout the period, with significant noise during the first 12 weeks of the elevator replacement.
Pictures and floor plan
The pictures above are only an example of what the layout and appearance of this housing type may be.
The floor plan is only intended to be an illustration of the layout of the flat. It is not measurable and deviations may occur.
Some of the pictures are digitally furnished and styled to show how the room may look when furnished. Therefore, there may be some discrepancies in the size of the furniture in relation to the room.
The degree of wear and tear will vary from unit to unit. This means that the standard may be worse or better than the housing in the pictures.
Colours, flooring, fixtures and other things may also vary.
Rent
The rent includes electricity/energy, heating, internet, stairwell cleaning, water, and hot water.
Tenants must provide their own router or network cable to connect to the internet.
Please note that the price is adjusted on August 1st each year.
The stated price applies to students who meet the criteria in our Allocation regulations. For other tenants, there will be an additional 20% added to the rent.
Terms and conditions
To apply for student housing with us, you have to meet the criteria in our Allocation Regulations.
Here you will find an updated example of the tenancy contract with attachments, where the rental terms are described.
When renting student housing through SiO, the Tenancy Act §11-2 on student housing applies. This means you have fewer rights as a tenant, compared to renting other types of housing.
The rental period is fixed-term and will end on a set date. Here you will find guidelines on how to apply for a new tenancy contract later.
Kringsjå Student Village
Our largest student village Kringsjå is nicely located in the north of Oslo with the forest Nordmarka as the nearest neighbor. Here, you have outdoor life right outside your doorstep and the city is just a subway ride away. There is noisy construction work at Kringsjå. Read more further down on the page.
We are building three new buildings at Kringsjå
The buildings will be located on what are currently the two large car parks in the north-east part of the student village. The construction project is estimated to be completed in January 2028.
Preparatory work

Excavation work will take place from April 7 to May 30
Installation of tower cranes with lights will take place from April 13 to April 24
Concrete and casting work will take place from April 13 to May 30
The work listed above will cause noise. There will also be occasional piling, blasting and rock-breaking work. This may result in intermittent significant noise.
Construction of the new buildings

There will be short periods without water and power when the new buildings are connected to the existing water supply and electricity grid. These will be announced in advance.
