What is the rental period?

arrow_circle_down

Normally we enter into rental contracts for one year at a time - semester contracts only apply to Campus Living Voll. Rental start and move-in date is 01. August in which the tenancy will run until July 31 of the following year. Note that a new contract is not guaranteed, and must be applied for. The tenancy may not be terminated by the tenant during the tenancy, but subletting is permitted subject to approval from Campus Living.

How is the deposit paid? /How does the deposit scheme work? /When does the deposit have to be paid?

arrow_circle_down

The tenant can choose between a deposit or a rental guarantee from Tryg insurance. The landlord creates this in connection with the signing of the contract via www.hybel.no. The deposit is paid 10 days before the start of the contract.

The amount will vary depending on the type of apartment and the choice of security. The exact amount can be found in the ad text on the apartment type you want.

When is the rent billed?

arrow_circle_down

The rent is paid no later than the 15th of each month. Rental invoice will be mailed to you approximately 14 days before due each month with due date on 15th of each month.

arrow_circle_down

Invoice for rent is sent via www.hybel.no. You can create direct debits yourself. If you do not have a Norwegian bank account, we recommend using www.wise.com.

When will the deposit be repaid?

arrow_circle_down

The deposit will be refunded to you at the end of the tenancy, provided that all your invoices have been paid and the accommodation has been returned without damage or defects. It may take up to 4 weeks after moving out before the money is back in your account. Normally this takes about 2 weeks.

What is expected of you upon return of the home?

arrow_circle_down

Moving and washing out is time consuming. How extensive it will be depends on how well it is cleaned on a daily basis. There is a requirement for complete and thorough cleaning of the dwelling before return. All of the stains and dirt should be removed, and you need to wash places that you would not normally wash during regular cleaning. Bathrooms and kitchens especially need to be washed carefully. Remember to wash inside cabinets, clean gutters and clean filters in ventilator. All damages and defects must be reported to the landlord on an ongoing basis, and well in advance of return, so that rectification can take place during the tenancy period of the responsible tenant. Any inadequate/delayed notice may cause the landlord rent losses for which the tenant may be liable.

I want to return the apartment and keys, what do I do?

arrow_circle_down

90 days before your contract expires, you will be sent a digital migration protocol. Here you choose the date of handover, when the house has been cleaned and moved out of. As a tenant, you must document the condition of the dwelling in the protocol with photos and description, before vacating. Campus Living will then take an inspection of the residence and judge whether it is approved/disapproved. When it comes to handing over keys, this depends on which Campus you live on. You will be notified of this well in advance of your departure.

Maintenance

What to do if the stove/induction hob stops working?

arrow_circle_down

In case of problems with the stove/oven/hob, you must:

1. Check the current fuse (s) in the fuse box.
2. Troubleshoot the stove/hob by manual/instruction manual (this can often be found online by searching for “manual-brand model”).

3. Checking and debugging the associated stove guard (troubleshoot and restart the stove guard, see guide here)


TIP 1: This is what to do when the stove guard beeps - Watch the video produced by Boligbyggbygd Oslo KF.

TIP 2: Alternatively check out komfyrvakt.no's FAQ here.

Replacing the battery on the stove guard sensor
Some types of stove guards have a sensor that runs on battery. In this video, Boligbyggbygd Oslo KF shows how to change the battery in the sensor.



If the appliance cannot be fixed, take a picture of the product and/or serial number and send it to the responsible property manager.

What do I do if I have problems with the dishwasher/fridge/freezer?

arrow_circle_down

Dishwasher:

  1. Check fuse boxes.
  2. Check that the machine is getting water by turning on the pin that sits on the kitchen faucet or in the cupboard under the kitchen sink.
  3. Check that the outlet is connected.
  4. Check that the drain in the machine is well cleaned.
  5. Troubleshoot for manual/user manual (this can often be found by searching for “manual-brand model").

Defrost fridge/freezer:

  1. Empty the freezer and set the food cold.
  2. Turn off or unplug the plug and leave the door open.
  3. Put a pan on the floor in front of the freezer and put some towels around to collect water. Drain and dry regularly.
  4. Wait for the room temperature to melt away ice and rhyme.
  5. Be careful if you use scrapers.

If the appliance cannot be fixed, take a picture of the product and/or serial number and send it to the responsible property manager.

What to do if there is no water coming from the tap or the water stopper beeps?

arrow_circle_down

Locate and familiarize yourself with leakage stops. Several of our apartments are equipped with Høiax Aquasafe/Waterguard leak stops. This detects leakage from the sensor tape and activates the magnet valve that shuts off the water. It will also cut off the power supply to the power connector on the leak stopper. Best thing to do in case of error on this one is to Google the user manual online.

AquaSafe Water Stopper - Wipe sensor tape with dry cloth. Then press the Reset button to stop the alarm.

Waterguard Water Stopper - Locate and remove the cause of the leak/water spill and wipe wet sensors (Sensor tape or wireless sensors). Once the water spill have dried up, you can open the water supply by holding the Linkbox button for 3 seconds.

Water stopper beeps - Make sure that it is not wet inside the cabinet or on the underside of the molding. If it is not wet:

1. Wipe sensor tape with dry cloth.
2. Then press the Reset button to stop the alarm.

In case of water leakage: Call: 24 20 07 00

What to do if the power goes out?

arrow_circle_down

Have the power gone, you should see if your neighbors are also without power. If you are the only one without electricity, the fault most likely lies with you. Examine whether fuses have gone or if the RCD has been loosened. Possible reasons for fuses dissolving are that you overload the plant by using a lot of electrical equipment at the same time. There may also be a malfunction in one of the electrical appliances or in the plant itself.

Sometimes a shutdown is planned because maintenance is to be carried out on the power grid, but most often it is associated with storms, strong winds, lightning and thunder.

What to do if the drain in the shower is clogged?

arrow_circle_down

To prevent clogged drains, water damage and bad odors in the bathroom, one should clean the drain twice a year. As a tenant, you can do this all by yourself. Cleaning the drain involves more than just pouring drain cleaner down the floor grate and hoping for the best. To clean the drain, you must first take up the floor grate, so that you can access the dirt that you are going to remove. Clean the drain in six simple steps - Watch video produced by Boligbyggbygd Oslo KF - Here's how to clean the drain in the bathroom.

1. Remove the grate.
2. The next step depends on what kind of drain you have. If you have a modern bathroom with a modern sink, there is a “cup” that you should be able to easily pull up from the drain. If you have an older bathroom, you don't have this.
3. Remove hair remnants and any visible grime you see and reach in the drain and on the “cup”.
4. Feel free to use an old dish broom to scrub what has started to petrify.
5. Rinse well, feel free to let the water drain a little so you see that everything is fine.
6. Put in place the “cup” and the grate.

What to do if the sink is clogged?

arrow_circle_down

In order to prevent clogged washing/waterlogging, water damage and bad odors, the siphon should be cleaned twice a year. As a tenant, you can do this all by yourself. Cleaning the siphon involves more than just pouring drain cleaner into the siphon and hoping for the best. Clean the siphon in four simple steps - Watch video produced by Boligbyggbygd Oslo KF - How to clean the siphon under the sink.

1. Put a bucket under the siphon to catch any water spills.
2. Unscrew the siphon. It's the part that looks like a cup at the bottom of the piping system.
3. Drain the siphon. Clean the cup and feel free to rinse through a little. Make sure that the bucket below catches the water.
4. Assemble the siphon. Check that the gasket (rubber ring) is tight. Replace it with a new one if not. You can buy it from a specialist dealer.

Cleaning

arrow_circle_down

It is important to carry out regular cleaning of the dwelling, especially the kitchen and bathroom.

Exhaust fan: If you use the kitchen fan regularly, it should be cleaned frequently. The filter in the exhaust fan should be cleaned at least every quarter, preferably once a month. Watch video produced by Boligbyggbygd Oslo KF - How to clean the filter in the kitchen fan. Regular cleaning of the filters in the kitchen fan and always being present when using the hob prevents fire.
Oven: SEE: 4 OVEN CLEANING TIPS.
Kitchen: SEE: THE GREAT WASHING GUIDE: HOW TO CLEAN THE KITCHEN.
Carbon filter: In this video you will see how to replace the coal filter in the kitchen fan. This should be done every 6-24 months, depending on how much food you cook. Watch video produced by Boligbyggbygd Oslo KF - How to change the charcoal filter in the kitchen fan.

What do I do if my faucet is loose?

arrow_circle_down

Visible plumbing during washing in bathrooms and kitchens should be tightened by hand, at least once a year. Some taps that drip you can try to tighten up yourself, the same applies to the shower head in the bathroom.

What do I do if the door/window creaks or the lock does not work?

arrow_circle_down

Hinges, locking mechanisms and handles on doors and windows need regular lubrication or tightening. Residential Buildings Oslo KF shows you how to do it!

Watch video produced by Boligbyggbygd Oslo KF - here.

3. Are there constantly poor network signals or only for periods?
4. If this is an occasional problem, please specify time of occurrence.
5. Is it in the whole apartment and surroundings, or only some room/part of the room?
6. What type of device are you trying to connect with? (PC, Mobile, Ipad).
7. With which method are you trying to connect.
8. Please send us your MAC address for us to investigate properly.

What should I, as a tenant, maintain?

arrow_circle_down

Unless otherwise agreed, the tenant is obliged to maintain door locks, faucets, water closets, electrical connectors and switches, hot water containers and fixtures and equipment in the domestic space that are not part of the immovable property. The tenant is also obliged to carry out the necessary functional inspection, cleaning, battery replacement, testing of smoke alarms, fire extinguishing equipment, etc.

What you have a duty to maintain, you also have to pay for. That is, if you are in charge of having the walls painted, you will have to pay both the cost of the job being done and the expenses for painting.

What to do if the toilet is clogged?

arrow_circle_down

If the accident occurs, there is a lot you can do yourself, so that you do not have to worry about the cost of a plumber.

1. If the toilet is not completely clogged, but you can see that the water is slowly receding, try pulling down several times. Naturally, you have to wait until the water has receded for each time. You don't want the water to run over the edge.

2. If this does not work, you can fill a large bucket with water and pour from a great height. Then you create a real pressure that can help open up. Often several attempts are needed.

3. If it is completely tight, use a toilet pump with suction cup. The toilet pump with suction cup is a useful aid and something that should be kept in every home. Push the suction cup down into the toilet and push it back and forth many times. Remember that there must be a good amount of water in the toilet to create the right pressure, for you to get the stopper through the siphon.

4. Sometimes it may also be necessary to pull out what is blocking if you do not achieve results on the first attempts. Put on long gloves, remove what you can and if necessary repeat step 1, 2 or 3 depending on where you are in the process.

5. If the first four steps do not help, you may need a drain opener. Plumbo is best known and professionals recommend that you use products that you can buy at, for example, a paint store and that you use them according to instructions for use. Be careful when using such products. Are you still not rid of the problem, call a plumber.
