Essunga Bostäder housing queue

Essunga Bostäder AB is Essunga municipality's public housing company, with 322 rental homes in Nossebro. Alongside ordinary rentals there is 65+ housing at Hagagatan 18 and Solhagsgatan 5, where at least one person in the household must be 65, plus parking spaces and carports. Registering is free. There is no annual fee. On Eklövsgatan they give a first-year youth discount to anyone aged up to 23.

The queue runs on points. When a home falls vacant you register interest on Mina sidor, and the applicant with the most points. The longest queue time. Is asked to view. Registration is personal and cannot be transferred, and you can only apply for a home for your own use. It is not a municipal housing agency with a numbered place, but the points count from the time you have been in the queue. That is why registering early is worthwhile, even before you start looking. They reserve the right to depart from the queue rules regardless of points if there are special reasons, and anyone moving to the municipality who has also been given a job at a company in Essunga municipality is given priority. For a contract you need a steady income that covers rent and household costs, and they run a credit check: payment defaults or outstanding debts more recent than three years, a debt to them or another landlord, or a poorly managed previous tenancy, can stop the letting.

Essunga Bostäder publish no average queue time. How long it takes depends on the size of the home and how many applicants with more points apply for the same one. They publish no exact figure in months. To keep your place you need to log in to Mina sidor and update your interest registration at least once a year, or you drop out of the system. A move to another home with them is allowed at the earliest after one year, and only if family circumstances or finances have changed. A swap of equivalent homes is refused.
