Paying rent

Where does your rent actually go?

When you pay rent to us, the money doesn’t go to any owners – we’re a non-profit foundation with no dividend payouts. Everything we earn is reinvested in new student housing, the maintenance of our homes, and in creating safer, more sustainable living environments. We believe in being transparent about how your rent is used – so that you can feel confident it’s making a real difference, both now and in the future.

If you pay with Revolut, please read this information!

Please write ONLY THE NUMBERS of the ocr-number as reference on your payments. Don’t write “ocr” in front of the numbers or we won’t be able to find your payment.

Please send an e-mail to ekonomi@sssb.se and attach a confirmation of payment directly after you have made your payment. We are working hard to book your payment but it may take up to two weeks.

Due to an ongoing issue with Revolut payments, your reference is not being fully shown on your transaction in our bank. This means that additional confirmation of the payment is required for it to be booked in our system.

In Revolut you can add an e-mail recipient that will receive an automatic confirmation of your payment when it’s been made. If you want to use this function, please add ekonomi@sssb.se as a receiver of confirmation in the app.

You will need to submit confirmation of all future payments, either automatically or attached to the e-mail address above.

We send our rent invoices around the middle of every month through My pages and you will find them under My invoices. It is your responsibility as the tenant to pay your rent on time. You always pay your rent in advance, no later than the last weekday of the month.

You can apply to receive an electronic invoice that is sent digitally to your Internet bank each month and you have to log on to your bank to approve the payment every time.

Rent and other invoices needs to be paid into bankgiro no. 5954-0146. Always write the OCR number on your payment. You’ll find the OCR number on your rent invoice. Remember that it takes about three bank days before your payment is registered in our system and marked as paid on My pages.

If you want to pay more than one months rent at the same time, you can use the OCR number on your current rental invoice. The money that’s in addition to the amount of your rental invoice will be saved on your profile in our system. When the next rental invoice is charged, the amount will be deducted immediately.
