Housing for rent

This page is for posting private housing availability for researchers, doctoral students and staff at Karolinska Institutet only. All communication between landlords and tenants takes place directly, KI is not involved in that process.

Our university housing service KI Housing - visit the website ki.se/housing - is intended to be a first place to stay. It is responsible for offering furnished apartments and rooms to incoming international students and guest researchers at KI.

If you are interested in posting a housing opportunity, email the information to Ulla.Tunkara@ki.se. Housing listings will be posted for six weeks. If you wish for the listing to remain on the website longer, contact Ulla.Tunkara@ki.se by email.
