Picking up keys
We will send you information about where, how, and when you can collect your keys via email no later than one day before your contract begins or before the agreed-upon handover date.
Check your junk mail if you cannot find the email in your inbox.
If you have not received an email the day before, please contact SiO Customer Service to arrange the handover.
When can I collect the keys?
- You can collect the keys from 12:00 (noon) on the day your contract begins and within the next 14 days.
- If you wish to collect the keys on a different day than the contract starts, please contact SiO Customer Service.
Are you unable to pick up the keys within these 14 days?
If you do not collect your keys within 14 days from the start of your contract, you risk losing your housing. Please contact SiO Customer Service to find a solution.
Is someone else picking up your keys for you?
Pick-up from a keybox:
We will send information on how to collect your keys from a keybox to the email address you have registered with SiO. You are free to share this information with a friend or relative, granting them access to collect the keys on your behalf.
Pick-up from our reception or another pick-up location:
If your partner, a friend, or a relative is going to collect your keys on your behalf in the reception or another agreed-upon pick-up location, you need to send us an authorisation in advance. Here you can find information on how to send us an authorisation.
Where can I pick up my keys?
In most cases, you will collect keys from one of our key boxes.
You will find SiO Customer Service in Trimveien 4. The key boxes are outside of the building, to the left the main entrance.
We will place out the keys at 12:00 (noon) on the day your contract starts, or on the agreed pick-up date.
Keys that are not picked up will be removed from the key box at 08:00 the following day.
Some days, for example in January and August, we have a lot of students picking up their keys. Then we also use other pick-up locations or have key pick-up at SiO Customer Service. If this applies to you, you will be notified well in advance.
Are you moving to Studenterhuset Schultz' gate?
There are two authorised persons at Studenterhuset Schultz’ gate who can give you keys on behalf of SiO. You can contact them by email to arrange key pick-up.
