Frequently asked questions

Boplats Växjö is a municipal housing agency, and it currently costs SEK 100 per year to remain in the queue. The fee must be paid from the year that you turn 20. If you do not pay, you will lose your place in the queue and your queue points will be reset. These cannot be recovered against payment.

The student housing queue is free of charge. When registering for student housing you will be automatically registered in the family housing queue one year free of charge. If you do not want to be registered in the family housing queue, simply ignore the invoice and you will be automatically removed.

Log on to My Pages at Boplats Växjö. Under My Profiles, you can view the different queues (Housing, Student Housing and Parking Space) and how many points you have in each queue. The points are placed under the heading “Queue points”.

Your queue points are personal, and you cannot combine them with anyone else’s points. The points cannot be transferred to another person, either.

If you have been accepted to the Police Academy (Polishögskolan), Higher Vocational Education (HVE) or if you are an international student, you can upload your acceptance letter yourself. Go to My Pages and click on Upload Files under the Certificates tab.

If you have been accepted to another course of study and you have a Swedish social security number, your application will be registered with us automatically. If you have been accepted but are still on the waiting list, upload your certificate through My Pages. Click on Upload Files under the Certificate tab.

No priority is given in the housing queue. The housing company issues Växjö Municipality a certain quota of flats that can be given to people with disabilities and need special accessible flats, or need a flat for socioeconomic reasons. Contact Växjö Municipality if you fall under one of these categories.

If you are in the family housing queue and sign a rental agreement, you will automatically be reactivated in the family housing queue. Your queue points are recalculated depending on how many points the applicant behand you in the queue have. You who get an apartment via marketplace directly will not lose any points.

If you are in the student housing queue and sign a rental agreement, you must activate yourself in the student housing queue in order to continue collecting queue points.

If you get a flat via the Student Market, your queue points will be zeroed and you will need to reactivate yourself in the student housing queue if you wish to remain in the queue. However, if you obtain a flat via Student Direkt, you will keep both your time in the queue and your queue points.

It can take up to a week before we register your payment. If the money has been withdrawn from your account, and your payment still does not show, you are welcome to contact us at Boplats Växjö.

The marketplace for exchanging apartments was a part of www.boplats.vaxjo.se Since few used the marketplace and it was difficult to provide service with high quality we chose to shut down the marketplace December 31, 2018. 

Yes. Vidingehem still offer the possibility of direct exchanges. 

To change the apartment, you must find someone to change with. Once you find it, you should apply for a direct exchange with your landlord. Both exchange parties must meet the requirements for direct exchange and be able to prove them. More information about direct exchange can be found at your landlord, read more on Vidingehem's website. The intention of the change should be to live permanently in the new home.

You can accept three offers at a time in both the family housing queue and student housing queue.

You can register your interest a maximum of 5 times. In the student housing queue, you can register your interest three times. When the registration deadline has passed, and the application has been closed, you can register your interest again. These restrictions exist so that the rental process will not go on for longer than necessary.

The time of registration only makes a difference in Marketplace Direct and Student Direct. At Marketplace Direct, the first five people who register will receive an offer to visit the desired housing. The first person who registers his/her interest and says “Yes” will get the flat.

With Student Direct, the first three people who register receive an offer to visit the desired housing. The first person who registers his/her interest and says “Yes” will get the flat.

In Marketplace, your queue points are always counted. In the family housing queue, the six people with the most queue points receive an offer to visit the desired housing. In the student housing queue, the three people with the most queue points receive an offer to visit the desired housing.

To see your exact place in the queue, you are welcome to contact the housing company Vidingehem. With Boplats Växjö, you can only see how many queue points the person in sixth place has.

Occupation date is the last date that you can occupy the flat. Move-in possible is the earliest date that you can occupy the flat. This is because a tenant will sometimes want to move out of his/her previous flat earlier. This gives you the opportunity to select what date you want to begin occupying the flat.

To rent a parking space, click the “Activate” button in “My Profile” on the “My Pages” tab. The button will become visible once you have an active rental agreement. The customer with the most queue points will be offered an open parking space. The waiting period for the parking space queue only applies to the residential zone that you live in. If you move to another residential zone, your queue points will be zeroed, and you must reactivate yourself in the parking space queue.

The Parking Space Direct marketplace displays the parking spaces that everyone can lease, including those who are not tenants. To lease a parking space using Parking Space Direct, contact the applicable housing company.
