Your answers are important
To get an accurate picture of the rental prices for different types of rented dwellings in different parts of Norway, it is very important that as many people as possible participate. The sample has been drawn to represent the entire Norwegian rental market. The sample mainly consists of rented dwellings. However, since no complete register of rented dwellings exists in Norway, the sample may also include some dwellings that are owned or used in other ways. We encourage everyone to participate, regardless of whether they own, rent, or otherwise occupy the dwelling.
Your participation is very important, as the dwelling you live in cannot be replaced by another dwelling in the sample.
In order to make good statistics, we would like answers to questions about:
- the size and quality of rental dwellings
- the types of dwellings that are rented out
- the duration of rental contracts
- the rent paid for different types of rented dwellings
It takes just under 10 minutes to complete the survey.
A small sample of respondents will be contacted every month from November this year to October next year for a short web survey about changes in the rental price. We need to collect this information each month to measure monthly changes in rental prices.
If your dwelling is selected, you will receive an e-mail or letter from us, along with an SMS invitation to participate. You may answer the survey by using the link provided in the e-mail, letter, or SMS. You can also respond by selecting the “Electronic reporting” button at the top of this page. Log in by using the username and password provided in your e-mail or letter. The questionnaire is available in Norwegian and English.
If you do not rent the dwelling, have moved, or do not use the dwelling yourself, you will only need to answer a few short questions.
The survey should work in all browsers and on all devices (mobile phone, PC, tablet). If you experience problems, we recommend trying a different browser or device.
If the issue persists, please contact us at svar@ssb.no or call 62 88 51 90.
A sample of 37,000 dwellings is selected to participate in this survey.
We need answers from everyone selected, and your participation will contribute to more reliable statistics on rental prices in Norway.
- The answers you provide will only be used to produce statistics. Individual responses will never be published.
- Until your answers are included in statistical material, you may withdraw and request that your responses be deleted. You can do this by calling us or sending us an email.
- To shorten the survey, we collect necessary information about you from public registers that Statistics Norway (SSB) has access to. This includes information about which continent you were born on from the Population Register, information on education from school owners and the Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund (Lånekassen), and information on income, benefits, and allowances from the Norwegian Tax Administration and NAV.
- After December 1, 2027 all your answers will be anonymized.
- The survey is conducted in accordance with the Statistics Act and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If you have questions about GDPR, you are welcome to contact us by e-mail at personvernombud@ssb.no or visit our site at www.ssb.no/en/omssb/personvern.
