Please note that Bostad Västerås does not cover any bank fees. The refunded amount will be deducted with SEK 100 to cover administration and bank fees. If the bank fees exceed SEK 100 the actual amount will be deducted.
Down payment
If you confirmed your housing offer by making the down payment (first half of the semester rent + deposit) and later was denied VISA (or changed your mind for other reasons) our policy is as follows:
After the start of the contract:
If your contract-period has started you are bound to the dates of the contract and have to pay for the whole semester.
If we have demand for your room/apt we can with your written approval lease the room/apt to another student. This means that once we have received rent from the new tenant we will be able to refund the corresponding amount back to you.
Please note!A transfer of contract will result in an administrative fee of SEK 2 000. This fee will be charged from your deposit.
Before 1st of August or 1st of January
If you want to cancel the contract before the 1st of August (fall semester) or 1st of January (spring semester), we keep SEK 2 000 of the deposit to cover our administrative fee.
Before the contract has started but after 1st of August or 1st of January
If you want to cancel the contract after the 1st of August (fall semester) or 1st of January (spring semester) we keep SEK 2 000 of the deposit and the rent for the first half of the semester.
