The residence assistant acts as a link between us and you, the tenant. They have several practical and social responsibilities, such as:

🙋‍♀️ Welcome new tenants and provide practical information upon moving in

🧹 Help with organizing the cleaning of common rooms

💬 Organize social events and activities

🤝 Contribute to a good living environment and prevent conflicts

The residence assistant should not be contacted after 21:00, and they have no responsibilities regarding error messages in your home. Error messages should instead be reported to us through Unialltid or the SiS bolig-app.

Reporting Issues or Defects

To report non-urgent issues or defects in your student housing, use the service request feature on Din Side at Uni Alltid. See here for instructions on how to report issues and defects.

Residents are responsible for keeping common areas clean and tidy. If you’ve used a common area, please remember to clean up after yourself so that it looks nice for the next person. 🫧

The resident assistant also provides a weekly cleaning schedule for the TV rooms and communal kitchens, detailing which housing unit is responsible each week and specifying the tasks to be completed.

Additionally, the common rooms must be thoroughly cleaned twice per semester. We’ll inform you of the assigned tasks and inspect the rooms afterward. 🔍

2. What to do in case of a false alarm

3. How to avoid triggering the smoke detector

Fire instructions for SiS housing

In order to ensure fire safety in our homes, it is important that you as a resident familiarize yourself with this description. Failure to react in the event of an alarm/fire, use of non-approved equipment, etc. may result in criminal liability or financial liability. Only approved electrical equipment must be used. See the rules of order and the rental contract for further information.

It is very important that you avoid constant unwanted alarms, as this contributes to a lack of response in the event of a real fire.

Fire instructions

• In the event of an alarm, an automatic notification is sent to the fire service, which immediately moves out.
• Emergency number, tel. 110
• Help others - try to extinguish if possible. (Where the alarm has been triggered is shown in the display at the fire control center)
  Close doors and windows.
• Wheelchair users: If no help is available, stay in the room, possibly the balcony, call the fire service on tel. 110 and wait for help.
  Residents gather on the outside of the building, clearly visible without obstructing the fire brigade.
• In the event of a false alarm – wait for instructions to return to the building.

If the alarm is triggered by accident (steam, food, showering etc.):

• Call the fire service - tel. 110- report a false alarm, even if they are already on their way.
• Silence the alarm at the fire control center (see instructions at the main entrance)
• Meet the fire brigade.

Extinguishing equipment

Get to know where the extinguishing equipment is. This is readily available in all homes. The most common is a powder apparatus, but fire hoses can also occur.

Escape routes

In the event of a fire, it will be of great importance for the evacuation that the residents have familiarized themselves with the current escape routes from the home. The lift must not be used during bans. Escape routes and emergency exits must always be free, in the event of an evacuation. This is an uncompromising demand from the fire service and SiS housing will be able to pursue violations of free escape routes in relation to financial responsibility for damage to property and loss of life and health. (This means that it is not permitted to put down bags, shoes, boxes etc. in corridors and stairwells)

How to avoid alarms in the home

• Never leave the stove when you are cooking.
• It is important that whoever turns on the stove also ensure that the stove is turned off.
• Always use the fan when cooking. When using electronic equipment such as waffle irons, toasters, kettles, rice cookers, etc., always place these under the ventilator.
• Keep ovens and griddles clean. As burnt food residues can trigger the alarm.
• Fire detectors must not be dismantled or covered.

In the event of proven irresponsibility or constant calls from the fire service, costs for calls will be charged to the resident according to the current price list.
Our fire alarm systems have been developed to be able to warn of fire in the best possible way and are continuously tested and maintained.

Fire control center

Get to know the control center thoroughly. Feel free to contact SiS housing if you feel that further training is necessary.
The fire control center together with instructions on how the fire control center works can be found at the main entrance to the home. In the event of an alarm, it is shown in the fire control center where there is a fire or where an unwanted alarm has been triggered. This is important to be able to put out fires and not least in relation to evacuation. Remember that the landlord has the master key.

In the event of a false alarm

Have you triggered the fire alarm by mistake?

If so, you have to call 110 before 90 seconds have passed, to stop an emergency response from the fire department.

We are billed 10.000 NOK by the fire department for an unnecessary response. If you don’t call the fire department in time, resulting in a dispatch, you will be billed this amount.

The 1-room apartments have a mini kitchen, bed, desk and wardrobe. The 2- and 3-room apartments have kitchens and wardrobes.

The kitchen in Rennebergstien 9-19 includes a refridgerator, oven and a microwave oven.

The kitchen in Rennebergstien 11-17 includes a refridgerator and a hot plate.

You do not need to pay a deposit for SiS accommodation. Electricity, internet and use of the laundry are included in the rent.

First rent is due after moving in, and you can get the invoice under finance on My page at Uni Always at the beginning of each month. The invoice is due on the 20th of the same month. The rent can also be paid by e-invoice. This comes fully completed to your online bank, and you only need to confirm the payment. If you have not paid the rent by the due date, you will be charged a late fee.

If you have children, you can apply for support from Husbanken.

You can stay in SiS housing for a maximum of five (5) years.

Remember contents insurance when you move in with us - you is not insured for contents through SiS. You can check whether you are insured through your parents' insurance, an organization you are a member of, or possibly buy your own.

Why contents insurance? If unforeseen events should occur such as a fire, water damage, break-ins in your home or shed, this could lead to expenses and losses for you as a resident. You can use the contents insurance to limit your own financial loss in such cases.

We have Internet in all our homes. All you need is a wireless router or network cable.

If you have problems:

• Check the internet access by using a cable - not a router
• Check with the neighbour. If he or she has Internet, the fault is probably with your computer
• Check the property's Facebook group on your mobile to see if others have the same problem
• SiS housing does not require a password or username to connect. If you are asked this, you have connected to the wrong network
• Check that the wireless connection is switched on if you are using a laptop

If the above doesn't work, please report a fault on our housing page.

Keys are collected from the SiS expedition in Kitty Kielland's house on Campus Ullandhaug. Remember to bring your admission certificate and receipt for paid semester fee. If there are any deficiencies with the home, you must notify us as soon as possible.

If you lose the keys outside the expedition's opening hours, Securitas (22 97 10 76) will help you gain access you apartment. This costs NOK. NOK 1,250

When moving out outside the expedition's opening hours, you can put the key in the hatch to the left of the front door to Kitty Kielland's house. First, the key must be placed in an envelope marked with your name and home address. Envelopes can be found next to the hatch.

You who live at Rennebergstien 9-19 have access to the communal laundry, which is located on the 1st floor at Rennebergstien 11.

All rubbish must be sorted at source. Buried waste containers are available and clearly visible outside of Rennebergstien 17. These are open. Please do not leave rubbish next to the waste stations. This will not be retrieved.

When you move out, the home must be cleaned and taken over by SiS in the same condition as when you moved in. You deliver the key in the SiS expedition, or in the post box of the SiS home. You will find the postbox to the left of the main entrance door to Kitty Kielland's house on Campus Ullandhaug.

The home will be checked by a caretaker, and you will be invoiced for any damage or poor washing.

The lease is valid for one academic year. You will receive an extension offer in mid-January. You must accept this contract by 1 March. The rent will be regulated from 1 July.

Requirements for applying for an extension:
- Documentation of continued right to study must be submitted
- All bills must be paid

General about parking:
It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the rules regarding parking. These rules are subject to change, and it is important that you keep up to date on the information we provide here.

The electrical outlets from our student apartments, or external electrical outlets, should not be used to charge electric cars. Where we do not have charging stations, you must use fast chargers. You can look up the locations of these fast charging stations at Norsk elbilforening's website or app.

Cars without a license plate or cars that are not used weekly should not take up our parking spaces. These cars will be removed, and the cost will fall on the owner.

Rennebergstien:

These apartments are not recommended for residents with a car, and we have no parking spaces for residents at Rennebergstien.

UiS's parking spaces can not be used without a parking permit. As a resident of SiS, you should not take up parking spaces that belong to UiS. These are intended for students and employees at UiS who have to use a car to get to campus.

Charging your electric car, however, is open to anyone with the Easy Park app.

Pets are not allowed in SiS's homes.

If the power is out in your student housing but all other residences in the area are unaffected, contact us. If the power outage affects multiple buildings in the area, the whole street, or more, check Lnett’s website for updates.

To report an issue at the home, use inquiries on Your Side at Uni Alltid. Learn how to report an issue here.
