Furnishing and other equipment
The apartments are furnished including basic cooking and household equipment. The beds have mattress, mattress cover, quilt/blanket and pillow but you need to bring your own sheets and towels. Deficiencies regarding the inventory should be reported to the reception. When a tenant leaves, damaged or missing items will be replaced and charged to the tenant.

The tenant is responsible for keeping the apartment clean during the whole lease and for leaving it clean for the new tenant. All apartments are equipped with a central vacuum unit, mop and pail. The tenant is responsible for buying new vacuum bags during the lease.

Television
The apartments have a TV-set connected to the Swedish network and to a number of TV channels supplied by Com Hem, the cable TV provider in the building. Please do not change the settings, as this can affect the standard setup and require help from the reception in resetting the system. It is not possible for an individual tenant to add more channels. The Radiotjänst TV-fee is included in the rent and paid by UAC.

Telephone/Internet
There are several ways of arranging for a connection of telephone and Internet. For website information regarding suppliers in Sweden, see Pricerunner. Companies providing cable TV often provide Internet via the same socket. The tenant is responsible for all matters related to telephone and Internet connection and UAC will take no responsibility.

Keys
Each tenant gets

- a regular key (apartment door)

- an electronic key (entrance doors, garbage room, laundry booking, laundry room, basement corridor)

- a mailbox key (mailbox on downstairs entrance floor)

Fire alarm
The apartments are equipped with a fire alarm placed in the ceiling. UAC checks the alarm between guests and the guest is responsible for notifying UAC of any deficiency of the alarm during the tenancy.

Home insurance
UAC recommends all tenants to sign their own home insurance (hemförsäkring) regarding property and liability as the insurance coverage paid for by UAC is limited to the furnishing of the apartment/room and does not cover the tenant's personal belongings or liability. Home insurances are sold by most insurance companies in Sweden.
