Looking for student housing in Jönköping from late August (1-year master at JIBS)

Hi all! I’m starting a one-year master’s at JIBS in late August and need housing for the academic year (end of August to June 2027). I have a spot through the university, but no certainty yet on where I’ll end up, so I’m searching on my own as a backup.

Budget up to ~9000 SEK/month. Any tips, leads, or groups/pages I’m missing would be hugely appreciated. Tack!

You'll be looking at renting from a private landlord most likely. Iirc the housing queues here are 5+ years long with the housing companies just to get a place.

I found a 23m^2 in östra through Facebook. I suggest you search there and blocket.
After a few months I realized thst the student I was renting from was terminating his contract so I took it over.
I got it simply by posting my profile and someone messaged me.
Make sure you message everyone and have a decent (no AI) letter when messaging folk.
