Supporting Student Wellbeing

This page brings together information and tips to support everyday life and wellbeing. There are often solutions to challenging situations, so please don’t face them alone.

💶 Financial Challenges and Paying Rent

If paying rent feels difficult, help is available. In some cases, moving to a more affordable apartment can be a rational solution.

If your rent has remained unpaid or you’re currently unable to pay, it’s important to contact Intrum as soon as possible to ask about the possibility of a payment plan. Getting in touch early can ease the situation and give you more options.

Possible options:

• You can move to another TOAS apartment through the normal housing application process without having to pay overlapping rent for two apartments. There are currently vacant shared apartments available in different parts of the city. Read more about applying here.
• If you’re experiencing difficulties with rent payments, contact Intrum as soon as possible. You can ask, for example, about setting up a payment plan.
