SSN offers electronic invoice (Vipps) and direct debit as payment solutions

With electronic invoice (eFaktura in Norwegian) or direct debit, you receive the invoice directly into your online bank. You can establish one of these payment forms with us in your online bank. To create an agreement with us, you need a reference number, which is your customer number. We encourage everyone to use electronic invoice or direct debit.

If you have an electronic invoice agreement with us, you can go to your Vipps and choose «alltid Vipps eFaktura». The invoice will then turn up in Vipps and can be paid there.
You can also receive the invoice by e-mail, and it will always be avaliable on My page. You are responsible for contacting [email protected] if you have not received the invoice.

Pay on behalf of others

Payment on behalf of others must be marked with name or customer number in the message field. Electronic invoice or direct debit agreement does not work if you wish to pay repeatedly on behalf of others.

The rent is due on the 1st of each month

• The rent invoice is due on the 1st of each month and is paid in advance. You are responsible for paying rent - not received incoice does not give an exemption from payment.

• Rent for the first month is paid in advance before moving in. From the following month after moving in, the rent is due as normal.

• You will be invoiced from the start of the contract (even if you for various reasons have not moved in on the date your contract started).

Please contact us if there is a month when you have difficulty in paying by the deadline: [email protected]. You can also contact us if you have general payment problems so that we can try to find a solution to the problem together.

Reminder with reminder fee

In the event of late payment of rent and other invoices from SSN, you will receive a reminder with a reminder fee (“Varsel/Betalingsvarsel” in Norwegian) from the debt collection company Sergel or to Lowell (formerly Intrum Justitia). Invoices reminders are emailed to the tenant's address with us.

Debt Collection

If you still do not pay, the case will go to debt collection (“inkasso” in Norwegian) with the debt collection company, and interest and fees will continue to increase until the invoice is paid.

Upon receiving a collection notice, inquiries should be directed to Sergel or to Lowell (formerly Intrum Justitia).

Payment remark

If invoices are not paid after they have been collected, you can receive a payment remark. A payment remark can lead to you not being able to take out a loan in the bank if you apply for a mortgage or similar in the future.

Notice of forced waiver (eviction)

In the case of two (2) unpaid invoices from SSN, you will receive a notice of forced eviction from the housing unit (eviction), ref. § 14 in the rental contract.

If you have still not paid the amount due, the case will be sent to the execution and enforcement commissioner for a request for a compulsory deviation. Treatment, follow-up and implementation by the execution and enforcement commissioner will trigger court fees.

In the student housing where there is a shared laundry with appwash, you pay per wash/dry, while in most of our accommodation in Porsgrunn, Bø (not Campus Bø Student housing), Notodden and on Rauland it is free to use the shared laundry room.

You can find out what kind of laundry solution there is where you are staying under Communal laundry/laundry room on the page for the residential area.

International students must have money in a Norwegian bank account to apply for a student visa in Norway. SSN offers this service to international students, as it has proven difficult for international students to open a Norwegian bank account prior to receiving a D-number (which is given after the resident permit is granted).
