For safety reasons SiT Bolig is obligated to know who are our tenants - at all times. As a tenant you do not have the right to pass on your room/apartment to anyone when you move out. Infractions against this regulation will result in the immediate termination of all involved tenants. If a room becomes available in your unit, you and the other residents may recommend another student as the next tenant. Recommended applicants will be prioritised ahead of the waiting list. All tenants in the unit must consent to the recommendation.
