It can be difficult at the beginning of the semester to get a place to live. When you have received your admission notice, start looking for accommodation as soon as possible - before your arrival.
Here we have compiled a list of landlords in Halmstad who rent to students and where you can find ads for accommodations.
It's important that you contact the landlord yourself, we can't do it for you.
It can be a good idea to take the first you are offered, and then find accommodation that suits you once you are in place.
Also search in the neighboring municipalities Falkenberg and Laholm where there are good train connections.
Join different groups on Facebook such as Lägenheter i Halmstad.
Halmstad Student Union is helpful with advertisements for housing, for individuals and companies who wish to rent out to students.
We also pursue the issue of student housing by actively working in student politics towards our local politicians and nationally through the umbrella organization, Swedish National Union of Students (SFS), of which we are members.

Some things to keep in mind when moving in: contract, rent and notice period. If you want to know more about what it's like to live in Sweden as a student, check out studyinsweden.se. Study in Sweden is a website provided by the Swedish Institute.
Notice period
In Sweden, we have regulated through the law the practice of notice period of 3 months. That is, you must notify the landlord in writing that you are moving out, 3 months before the moving-out date. That means 3 full calendar months, for example if you are planning on moving out on 30th of June, you must cancel the accommodation before 31st of March.
The rent in Sweden is usually between 4000 to 8000 SEK for an apartment with a room and a kitchen. Depending on what is included and how big the accommodation is in square meters.
Usually, electricity, water and heating are included in a rental apartment, however, the cost of household electricity and internet may be added. Therefore, expect a cost for housing of about 6000-10.000 SEK.
Some landlords also want a deposit that you get back when you have moved out, provided that everything is ok with the accommodation.OBS. Never pay the deposit before you have seen the accommodation.
The rent is paid before the month begins, for example if you move in on
1st of September, the rent must be paid before
31st of August.
Inside the city centre you will find local shops and big brands. There are plenty of restaurants and opportunities to have a swedish FIKA. If you don't know about FIKA, check out this video or ask the closest Swede ;)
At the University you can find our gym (read more here).
The university is also close to ICA Maxi, a supermarket where you will find everything you need.
Don't worry if you don't find accommodation within walking distance from the University.
Buses will take you everywhere and run around the clock (read more at hallandstrafiken.se). Via Mecenat you have student discount on public transport.
Since Halmstad is a small city it's very easy to get around Halmstad by bike. There are plenty of different dealers and repairers for used bicycles in the city. For example, Håkansson's Cyklar or Rima Cyklar.
