Housing in Iceland
Student housing supply is limited and waiting lists are common. Apply as soon as eligibility allows and verify private rentals through a written contract.
Check the full cost
Confirm deposits, utilities, contract length, furnishings, transport and cancellation terms, not only the advertised monthly amount.
Protect yourself
Verify the landlord or provider, use a written contract and avoid untraceable payments or offers that cannot be inspected.
