Finding housing in Norway

When looking for housing in Norway, you can search for private rental housing or contact your municipality if you need help with your housing situation.

Private rental homes are commonly advertised online through rental advertisements and housing listings. You can search for rental housing by location, price, size and other criteria.

When searching for a place to rent, look for rental advertisements, available apartments and houses, and other private rental listings.

When looking at a rental advertisement, you should carefully check the location, monthly rent, additional costs, deposit requirements and other important conditions before agreeing to rent the home.

You should communicate with the landlord and arrange a viewing when possible before signing a rental agreement or paying money.

Before moving into a rented home, you should have a written rental agreement that clearly states the parties to the agreement, the property, the rent and other important conditions.

If you have been granted a residence permit and are waiting to move to your assigned municipality, the municipality can provide information about your move and housing arrangements.

If you need financial help with housing or help to find or keep suitable housing, you can contact your municipality. Husbanken provides information about housing allowance and other housing support schemes.

The housing support available to you depends on your situation, income, housing costs and other conditions.
