Bostäder Lidköping housing queue

Bostäder Lidköping, AB Bostäder i Lidköping, is owned by the municipality and manages around 2,600 rental homes, mainly in Lidköping but also in Vinninga, Saleby, Järpås and other smaller places. Alongside ordinary rentals there are 55+ apartments and senior homes for ages 65+, plus garages and parking spaces. Parking can only be applied for by someone who already has a housing contract. Registering is free. There is no annual fee.

The queue runs on points. You earn one point per day from the day you register, and the points are personal. They cannot be combined with a co-applicant's. When a home falls vacant you register interest, and offers go to the five with the most points. Among those who meet the letting policy, the contract goes to the one with the most points. It is not a municipal housing agency with a numbered place, but the points count from the day you join. That is why registering early is worthwhile, even before you start looking. A few homes with a short move-in are drawn by lot with no regard to points, and point-free homes go to whoever signs first. As a basic requirement, your disposable income must be at least twice the monthly rent.

Bostäder Lidköping publish no average queue time. How long it takes depends on the location, the size of the home and how many applicants with more points apply for the same one. To keep your points you need to log in to Mina sidor at least once every twelve months, or you lose them. After another three months the account is deleted. When you get a home the points in that queue reset, and a new count starts when you sign the contract. You can register interest in a new home at the earliest three months after the move-in date.
