Housing providers and websites
Below are links to student housing providers in Lund, Malmö and Helsingborg, as well as municipal and private housing companies in the area. On average a flat has a much longer waiting period than a corridor room. We also provide links to agency websites that give you access to a list of ads for a fee.
