Common kitchen
You might need to buy your own kitchen utilities. Every student has an own cupboard and a place in the fridge for food.
The kitchen door should always be locked.
Never pour cooking oil down the kitchen drains, as they will clog the pipes.
Each tenant is responsible for keeping the kitchen clean and tidy.

Furniture and other equipment
Each room is furnished with a bed, a desk, a bookshelf, a chair, a small table and two lamps, each room has its own toilet/showerroom. The room is equipped with mattress, pillow and blanket. Please note that you need to bring your own towels and bed linen.
Deficiencies regarding the inventory should be reported to the house caretaker. When a student is leaving Strix damaged and/or missing items will be replaced and charged to the tenant.

Electronic key system
The communal areas (e.g. the laundry-room and entrance) are fitted with electronic keys for a safer living environment and to reduce the risk of vandalism. All use of electronic keys is registered and SSSB may make use of this information in connection with acts of e.g. vandalism in the property. We can also block a key in case you lose it, thereby preventing unauthorised entry. Each electronic key is personal and directly linked to the apartment. Never exchange keys with your neighbour or lend one to someone not authorised to use it since you will be held responsible should anything happen.
