You should sign up to the SSSB queue as soon as possible. SSSB stands for Stiftelsen Stockholms Studentbostäder,
it’s the biggest students’ housing company and is managed by the Stockholm Federation of Student Unions.
However, don’t sign up too early, since you will have to
become a member of the Student Association within
90 days of joining the SSSB’s queue and you can only
do that once the semester starts. If after 90 days you are
not a member of a student union yet, you will lose your
amassed credit days.
Tip: to avoid your credit days being reset to zero, you can freeze
your place in the queue and it will be resumed once you join the
Student Association.
Rented accommodation
Stockholm operates a municipal accommodation agency where you can also register. The cost of joining their
waiting list for accommodation is about SEK 250 per
year. Waiting times vary from one residential area to
another, where the inner city, not surprisingly, has the
longest waiting times. But generally speaking waiting
times have been decreasing in recent years. The city
also operates a system called Bostadssnabben for apartments that are ready for immediate occupancy on a
first-come, first-served basis. The site collects a number
of rental apartments available through private landlords.

Co-operative housing association apartments
(bostadsrätt) for sale
There is an enormous range of co-operative housing
associations in Stockholm, and if you know that you
will be living in Stockholm for a long period, you might
consider buying an apartment. The prices vary widely between the inner city and the suburbs, with high
square-meter prices in the inner city. In outlying areas
prices can vary more and are usually lower, generally decreasing as distance to the center increases. The
largest website for housing association apartments (and
houses) is Hemnet, which lists the majority of properties
for sale.
