When you submit a complaint, you must pay a fee to the Rent Disputes Tribunal. We will send you an invoice as soon as the complaint is registered.
The fee is

- NOK 255 for the tenant
You have to pay the fee before we can process the case. If you do not pay the fee, we cannot process your case.
You will find the invoice in your digital mailbox. If you do not have a digital mailbox we will send the invoice as ordinary mail.
