Switching rooms
Found some friends to move in with? Or maybe sharing an apartment wasn’t quite for you? Then it is possible to switch rooms! 😊
Switching rooms depends on availability and we cannot guarantee that you can switch rooms immediately. During the fall semester, there is rarely an opportunity to switch rooms before November/December. During the spring semester, it is usually possible to switch rooms at any time.
It is not possible to apply for switching rooms in the period from 1st August until 31st October due to the high demand of new tenants.
When you switch rooms within our housing there is no termination period – but you cannot switch before the 1st of the following month.
Apply to switch
You can easily apply to switch rooms via your profile at hybel.no.
➡️ Click on tenancies in the left hand menu
➡️ Choose Studentsamskipnaden i Molde
➡️ Click on “options” up to the right, next to the chat button
➡️ Apply to switch housing type
If you want to switch housing in connection with the application for a new tenancy agreement, you apply in the same form as you apply for a new agreement. The form is usually sent out around Easter each year.
❗ Switching during summer has to happen from 1st July to 3rd July. If you are not able to switch during this period you cannot switch rooms.
Moving period
When you have signed an agreement to switch you will have access to both rooms for a short period. This way you have the time to move your stuff over to the new room, and clean out of the old one. You have 3 days to move.
Your agreement for the new room starts 1st March. Your agreement for your original room is automatically terminated on 3rd March.
You can pick up the keys for your new room at 12:00 noon on day 1, and then move, clean and have a checkout by 12:00 noon on day 3.
Rent during moving period
You pay rent for the period you have an agreement for both rooms. With switching rooms you have 3 days with overlapping agreements you can use to move rooms.
Your agreement for the new room starts 1st March, and the agreement for the old room ends 3rd March. You are then paying rent for the new room from 1st March, and the old room until and including 3rd March.
Clean-out and checkout
A full clean-out is a lot more thorough than a normal weekly cleaning, and in our experience most people have to use more time for a clean-out than they initially thought.
We have certain expectations for how the place should look when you move out, so we’d like to give you a little guidance. If you haven’t cleaned up after yourself and we have to do it, you will be billed for the work.
See the checklist for what needs to be cleaned and tidied up when you move out. By following the steps in the checklist, you help us ensure a smooth and efficient moving out process for you as a tenant.
A cleaning checkout is mandatory when switching rooms, you can book it here.
If you return the keys without completing the check-out, you will not be given the opportunity to clean the unit.
The unit will be considered vacated, and you will be billed for any damage or missing items found during the check-out. See separate section: Costs: Moving Out – SiMolde
You have 3 days from the time you receive the key to your new residence until the old one must be returned, tidied up, and cleaned in accordance with the checklist.
