The Studentkåren (student union) at Halmstad University will help with everything. Studentkåren knows all about renting student accommodation. Studentkåren has introduced what’s known as a housing guarantee that they activate a few months before the start of term every year.

Housing benefit
You can get housing benefit from Försäkringskassa (Social security) if you are between 18 and 29, or if you have children. How much benefit you receive depends on the size of your family, how much you earned and how much you pay for your home. You can only apply for benefit for one year at a time and if your income changes during that time you must inform Försäkringskassa immediately, otherwise you may be liable to repay the benefit.
