Rent & payment
Find out what you need to know to pay your rent on time – safe and easy.
When is the rent due?
Rent is paid in advance, every month. This means that it must reach us by the last working day of the month before.
Remember: it’s the day the money arrives in our account that counts – not when you make the transfer in your online bank. So make sure you pay in good time!
Where can I find the rent invoice?
Your rent notice can be found in the Housing app under “Rent invoice”. It appears around the middle of each month and contains all the information you need to pay correctly.
How do I pay my rent?
Payment should be made to our bank account number 602-9797. Please remember to include the OCR number from your rental notice – it is important for the payment to be linked to you.
E-invoice – simple & easy
Don’t want to fill in OCR every month? Sign up for e-invoicing in your online bank.
Search for Stiftelsen Göteborgs Studentbostäder and enter your object number (found on your rent notice or in the contract). The rent will then be sent automatically to your bank – you just need to approve it.
10-Month Rent Plan
At SGS Studentbostäder, all single rooms have what’s called a 10-month rent plan. This simply means that your annual rent is divided over 10 months instead of 12. You’ll have two rent-free summer months, while still being able to stay in your room as long as you meet the study requirement.
If you move in between April and July, you’ll pay 12-month rent during your first summer. Starting from August 1, your rent will switch to the 10-month rent plan – which means a slightly higher monthly rent, since it also covers your two rent-free months the following summer.
Please note that the 10-month rent plan does not apply to the address Uppstigen 100.
Payment from abroad
If you are paying from another country, use these details:
- Bank: Handelsbanken, Drottninggatan 39, 404 39 Göteborg, Sweden
- Account number: 6691-635 283 468
- IBAN: SE7860000000000635283468
- BIC/SWIFT: HANDSESS
Always enter the OCR number first, then your name.
If someone else is paying for you – make sure the OCR and your name are included.
Any bank or transfer fees are paid by you as the sender.
It can take up to 5 banking days for the payment to be visible to us. If it takes longer – email a receipt to Customer Service.
What happens if I miss a payment?
If the rent is not paid on time, it will be sent to our debt collection company Intrum. Fees and interest will then be added.
Do you receive a debt collection notice? You should pay Intrum directly, not SGS, and if the rent remains unpaid, you risk losing your home and finding it more difficult to find accommodation in the future.
