How to apply for a flat
If you are not a ­current tenant
with us
If you are a tenant with us and
would like to change flat
1. Register at www.nya.boplats.se
1. Register at www.bostadsbolaget.se to access My pages
To apply for a flat via Boplats, you must be registered there.
You must be 17 years old at the time of registration and 18
years old to apply for a flat. The annual fee is 100 SEK.
You will find the link to register at the top of the home page.
When you start, you will need to state your personal number and the object number on your rent invoice or contract.
When you register, you must also enter your accommodation requirements: the area in which you wish to live, size of
flat, etc. Your requirements will be matched with the available flats.
2. Apply for a flat
You must apply for the flat yourself. The applicant who
meet the selection profile and has been registered at
Boplats the longest will be offered the flat first.
3. Attend the viewing
If you meet the selection profile for the flat, you may be
offered a viewing. The offer will be sent to the email address you entered when you registered. Attend the viewing –
it is a good opportunity to ask questions about the flat as
well as the common areas.
4. Accept or decline
The next step is to accept or decline the flat. Do so within
the specified time via www.nya.boplats.se. This lets
Bostadsbolaget know that you would like to enter a tenancy
agreement if you are offered one. If you decline or don´t
respond to six offers during a six month period you won´t
be able to apply for a flat during the following six months.
However, you won´t lose your collected days if you´ve paid
the fee.
5. Enter an agreement
If you enter a tenancy agreement, your registration date at
Boplats will be reset.
2. Log in
When you have finished your registration, you can log in to
My pages using your peronal number and the password you
have chosen. When logged on, you can, among
others, create a fault report, see rent invoices and apply for
available flats.
3. Apply for a new flat
At Sök ledigt you will find advertised flats. You can apply for
three flats per publication, so only apply for those that
meet your requirements. Via the page Sök ledigt, you will
also find flats advertised at Boplats that are open to
everyone.
4. Attend the viewing
If you meet the selection profile for the flat, you may be
offered a viewing. The offer will be sent by email and will
also be available on My pages. If you do not reply in time or
decline three offers, you will not be able to apply for
another flat for six months.
! To change flat, you must have lived in your current flat for
at least 12 months without ­complaints. If several tenants
apply for the same flat, the person who has lived in his/her
current flat the longest will be offered the flat first.
! Sub-tenancy agreements do require permission from
Bostadsbolaget as well as changing flats directly with another
tenant. Sub-tenancy agreements without permission can lead
to notice of cancellation of the leasing agreement.
! Your registration date at Boplats serves as queuing time, i.e
the number of days you´ve been registered.

(moving flat) and external applicants via Boplats.
Bostadsbolaget’s rental policy is based on you having
• reached 18 years of age
