Due to these factors sublease contracts are very often for a limited time only.
Here's some tips for subletting:
Never PAY any deposit or payment in advance of having seen the apartment AND signed the contract.
Never PAY through an anonymous payment method such as Western Union or Paypal.
Try to determine if the rent is reasonable by comparing similar offers.
More information about subletting can be found if you open the website on a computer.
When you sublease an apartment you rent from an existing tenant instead of the landlord. It is often the case that the tenant is temporarily away for some months due to some business in another city or country and want to lease the apartment to someone else during that time instead of having to move our of the apartment. It might also be the case that the tentant have a spare room and want to make some extra money by renting it to someone.

Apply for Housing Allowance
As a student, you may be entitled to a housing allowance from the Swedish Social Insurance Agency. Keep in mind that you apply for a housing allowance for an entire year, from January to December. If your income changes then you must report this so you avoid being repayable. -

Then you are on the safe side in case of an accident in our home. -
Registering your address

Change your adress
It is important that you change your address when you move so that your mail is forwarded to your new address.
student finance via CSN
We recommend applying for study funding for a long period, that is, apply for the entire academic year directly than once per semester.
We recommend applying for study funding for a long period, that is, apply for the entire academic year directly than once per semester. Every time you apply for study funding, CSN evaluates if you have met the requirements for continued study funding and if you then have points that have not been reported, you risk being without study funding. By applying for one full academic year at a time, you minimize that risk.
