Hyresbostäder i Falköping housing queue

Hyresbostäder i Falköping, Falköpings Hyresbostäder AB, is owned by Falköping Municipality and lets around 2,000 apartments in Falköping. Centrum, Grönelund, Gumsen, Wetterlin and Bergsliden. As well as in the outlying communities Stenstorp, Floby, Kinnarp-Slutarp, Åsarp, Vartofta and Kättilstorp. They also go by Hyresbo. Alongside ordinary rentals they let storage, premises and parking spaces. Parking is let primarily to their existing tenants. They also have profile homes such as sheltered housing, 55+ and 70+, and a rent discount for students on selected one- and two-room apartments. Registering is free. There is no annual fee. You need a Swedish personal identity number or equivalent, and the household must have the Swedish Enforcement Authority's standard amount left after rent.

The queue runs on points. You earn one point per day from the day you register, and the points are personal. They cannot be transferred. You must register yourself; registrations via a third party are deleted. When a home falls vacant you register interest, at most five at a time. Among the applicants who meet the letting policy, one to five people with the most points are invited to a viewing, and the contract goes to whoever accepts and has 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. For hard-to-let homes, and when move-in is immediate or within three months, they may instead go to whoever first registers interest and can move in.

Hyresbostäder i Falköping publish no average queue time. How long it takes depends on the area, the size of the home and how many applicants with more points apply for the same one. To keep your place you need to log in to Mina sidor at least once a year, or the applicant profile is removed. When you sign a contract the points reset. Tenants must live at least one year in the same apartment before a new home can be offered through the queue.
