General information
Rent – Deposit - eFaktura
SiÅs does not require a deposit. Rent is invoiced in advance and must be paid by the 1st of each month. The rent invoice is published on YourPage at unialltid. The first invoice is normally calculated after you have moved in, and may therefore have a different payment deadline. When paying via online banking in a Norwegian bank, we recommend that you approve eFaktura - then you can also pay with vipps.
Reminder, debt collection and deviation
Failure to pay rent entails a reminder and collection notice before the case is sent to a debt collection agency. This entails fees and interest that are charged to the tenant in full. In the event of a deviation, a court fee is paid in addition to the fees demanded by the bailiff.
Right to cancel See tenancy contract. Right of withdrawal when signing a lease is determined by the Right to cancellation Act. If you ask to move in before the right of withdrawal has expired, you must sign and acknowledge that the right of withdrawal will be lost, cf. Right of Cancellation Act § 19 and § 22.
Electricity
A fixed amount is paid per month for energy consumption, see invoice for rent. The fixed amount is estimated based on the energy cost that SiÅs has per year. If the actual energy cost deviates significantly from the estimate, SiÅs has the right to adjust the fixed amount so that the costs are covered in the current rental period. SiÅs encourages all tenants to use electricity sensibly, to avoid additional bills.
Termination of contract
Rcf. § 4(4) of the contract. The standard contract is time-limited with a defined expiry date. It is not necessary to terminate the contract in relation to ordinary relocation within SiÅs. The tenancy is irrevocable in the period 01.07-31.12. If you plan to move on 31 December, the contract must be terminated before September 30. Contracts with an expiry date beyond December 31 can be terminated with three months' notice from the 15th or last day of the month. The tenant cannot expect to have a shortened notice period unless SiÅs has a queue of students who need student housing at the time. The contract can be terminated on YourPage on unialltid.
