We have a fixed price for electricity, which includes both your own consumption and everything that is shared. You will receive the electricity bill together with the rent from Sammen.

The single rooms at Alrek are furnished with a bed (frame mattress 90x200), desk with chair and wardrobe. In addition, most of the rooms contain a sink with a mirror.

The apartments are furnished with a double bed (2 mattress frames put together - total 150*200), desk with chair and wardrobe.

Otherwise, you are free to furnish as you wish🛋️

👉PS: The common kitchens contains a cooker, two fridges with freezers and cupboards for each resident. Most kitchens also include a dishwasher. In addition, there is a seating area.

All garbage is thrown into containers at the front of the building. Se BIR's webpage for information on where to recycle.

You can wash clothes at our laundry for an additional cost. The laundry can be found in the basement of the D building. Take the lift to floor 0 and follow the corridor to the right.

You use the app "appWash" to pay, choose a machine, select a washing program and report errors.

The laundry has automatic detergent dosing with both regular detergent and wool detergent. If you prefer not to use our detergent, you can deselect detergent under “program settings” on the machine and place your own detergent directly in the machine together with your clothes. In the settings menu, you can also adjust the temperature, spin speed, and more. Our machines do not dispense fabric softener, so you will need to add that yourself if you want to use it.

Car
At Alrek, we have some parking spaces for those who live with us. If you want parking, you can apply via the contact form. Select Housing -> Rental Agreement -> Parking. Remember that the parking agreement for your car has to be renewed every semester. If you park your car and do not have an agreement or are parked incorrectly, you will unfortunately be fined by Aimo Park.

Bicycle
Bicycles must be marked with a valid sticker which can be collected from your service centre. The sticker is valid for one year at a time and must be renewed every year, this is to have control over which bicycles are left behind and which bicycles are in use. Unmarked bikes will be removed.

Storage rooms can be found in the attic above the 5th floor (those who live on the 7th floor have storage on the 8th floor). You can freely choose an available storage, regardless of numbering. Lock the storage with your own lock and mark it with name, room number and current semester.

NB! Two accommodations share one storage.

Internet is free in all our residences. You have your own Telia router and your own network, and there is also free wireless internet in several of our common areas.

👉You must take a digital fire safety course before you can access the internet.

Sauna/shower
To turn on the sauna, press the button under the display next to the sauna door. The sauna will then be on for 1 hour. If you want to keep it on longer, just press the button again when it turns off. Anyone using it is responsible for leaving the premises in a clean and tidy condition.

The table tennis table is in the basement outside the laundry. You can borrow a racket and ball from TU.
