Vermin

Should you find yourself in a situation where you have bedbugs or any other kind of bugs or vermin in your room or apartment, there are two things we want you to do:

  1. Let us know as soon as possible via My page at bolig.sit.no. Choose "Contact us" and "Contact mainenance". Do not call the alarm central.
  2. Do not try to get rid of the problem yourself - We will make sure that professional exterminators deal with it.
