Residence regulations

Smoking is not allowed in Sammen's residences.

Pet ownership is not allowed in Sammen's residences. Exceptions can be made if compelling reasons justify it, and the pet ownership does not cause inconvenience to the landlord or other property users. Exceptions can be made, for example, for guide dogs.

Each resident is responsible for peace and order in the student residence. One should consider other residents and not be a nuisance to them.

Residents should mutually respect each other's work and nighttime rest. There should be peace indoors and outdoors from Monday to Thursday and Sunday after 11:00 PM, and on Friday/Saturday and days before holidays after 12:00 AM.

All events in the student residence's premises should end at the specified times. The Tenant's Union (TU) – where it exists – can, with the consent of the Director of Sammen Housing, grant exemptions from the house rules for special events. In these cases, TU is responsible for ensuring that the house rules are followed in line with the granted exemptions.

Special measures can be taken by Sammen during exam periods to ensure peace and order.

Each resident is responsible for cleanliness and order in their own residence, cf. § 2-5 (1).

Personal belongings must not be placed in escape routes: corridors, hallways, stairs, or outside storage rooms. Such equipment may be removed at the owner's expense, without further notice.

Storage of bicycles, skis, and other equipment should be done in designated storage areas.

All waste must be sorted according to applicable rules and securely packed before being placed in designated areas. Rules and notices on waste sorting should be followed.

Vents must not be blocked with fabric or similar materials. This can lead to moisture, mold, and structural damage.

Drying, airing, and shaking of clothes and carpets must not take place in common areas, balcony/veranda, out of windows or escape routes, or in a manner that causes a disturbance to residents.

Residents connected to a common kitchen/common bath are responsible for keeping it clean and tidy and have a mutual duty to notify Sammen of any lack of cleanliness. If, after a given notice, Sammen Housing does not find the cleaning and tidying satisfactory, Sammen may make improvements at the residents' expense. Sammen Housing may require the establishment of a “Order Man” system.

Cooking should only take place in the kitchen/common kitchen.

If the responsible party for a rule violation does not come forward, all users of the common kitchen are collectively responsible for covering any costs resulting from violations of the housing regulations, cf. § 4-2 (1).

If there are faults or deviations in the common kitchen or common bath that need to be repaired by Sammen Housing, residents should report the faults through contact. By submitting a request, residents accept that representatives from Sammen Housing may lock themselves into common areas to fix the faults, also cf. § 3-1 below. The resident who reported the fault is responsible for informing other residents in the same unit that Sammen Housing will lock into the common area to fix the faults.

Residents connected to common areas are responsible for the cleanliness and order in these areas. It is the responsibility of the Trust Committee – where it exists – to find good arrangements for cleaning and tidying.

If Sammen Housing finds that cleaning and order in common areas are unsatisfactory, the establishment of an “Order Man” system may be required. In cases of serious violations of the regulations, Sammen Housing may consider closing common areas.

Vehicles parked on Sammen's properties are subject to the prevailing parking regulations. Bicycles must be marked with a valid sticker.

Parking should be done in marked spaces, according to signs. Sammen Housing will ensure that illegally parked cars are removed at the owner's expense.

It is not allowed to connect engine heaters, charge cars, and similar activities to power outlets in the residences unless there is a specific outlet for it and permission has been granted.

If faults or deviations occur that need to be rectified by Sammen Housing, residents should report the faults through contact. Sammen Housing should rectify reported faults or deviations within a reasonable time frame.

When repairing reported faults or deviations in common areas such as hallways, kitchens, and bathrooms, residents accept, by submitting a request, that representatives from Sammen Housing may lock themselves into common areas to rectify the faults. If possible, Sammen Housing will inform about the time frame for the repairs. The resident who reported the fault is responsible for informing other residents in the same unit that Sammen Housing will lock into the common area to rectify the faults.

Inspections and other improvement and maintenance work should be notified 7 days in advance if possible. The tenant and landlord shall attempt to agree on a time for the inspection or maintenance work.

In cases where it is not possible to notify the tenant, the landlord can only enter the lease object when it is necessary to prevent damage. This applies, for example, to the following cases: a) Inspections when there is suspicion of danger to life and health. b) Inspections when there is suspicion of serious breaches of the lease agreement and regulations, where measures are necessary to prevent damage to the residence and the property in general. c) Inspections when there is suspicion of serious conditions or deficiencies that require immediate rectification.

Complaints about residents or visitors should be directed to Sammen Housing as the first instance.

Complaints regarding issues or activities in Sammen's activities should be directed to the Trust Committee – where it exists – as the first instance.

Sammen Housing, or the authorized person, has the right to intervene in cases of disturbance of peace and order, misuse of alarms, unwanted alarms, and material damage. Sammen Housing may demand that the situation be rectified and may also expel persons who do not live in the student residence. Sammen Housing may demand that the residents cover the costs incurred by incidents. Serious or repeated violations of the regulations may result in termination of the lease agreement or termination (see § 11 (7) of the lease agreement).

Sammen Housing has the right to intervene and demand that the situation be rectified in cases of material damage or breach of housing regulations/lease agreement. Sammen Housing can issue warnings and/or call for a meeting in such cases. If the situation is not rectified, it may lead to termination or termination of the lease agreement.

Vandalism of fire equipment and smoke detectors (including covering smoke detectors) is considered a substantial breach and may result in termination of the lease contract, cf. § 11 (7) of the lease agreement.
