Searching for housing with Skebo is easy. You register, express interest, and handle all practical matters here on our website or via the web app. Skebo's web-based rental process relies on you being active and searching for an apartment.
If you don't have access to a computer, feel free to contact Customer Service at 0910-73 65 00 for assistance. Our phone hours are weekdays 08.00 - 16.00 (lunch break 11.30 - 12.30), you can find our visiting hours under Contact us.
Who can apply for housing with Skebo?
From the age of 15, you can register as a housing applicant with us. To rent a property, you need to be at least 18 years old, have no payment remarks, and have a regular income for at least six months ahead from the move-in date. We may request references from previous landlords. You should use the apartment as your permanent residence, not as a supplementary residence.
Express Interest
Skebo's entire range of available apartments is updated every Tuesday on www.skebo.se. The available properties remain open for seven days, and to express interest, you must be registered as a housing applicant. You can easily do this by visiting My Pages.
Allocation of Apartments
The 20 applicants with the highest points in our booking system receive an offer to view the current apartment. After the viewing offer (whether you attend the viewing or not), you have three days to inform us if you want to rent or not. You can do this on My Pages. If multiple applicants accept, the apartment goes to the one with the highest points. Once we contact you by phone or email to offer the lease agreement, you must confirm if you want to sign the contract by 12.00 the next day, otherwise Skebo has the right to offer the apartment to the next person in line. For student apartments, there are no viewings; they are offered to the first student who expresses interest.
The website shows in real-time how many applicants have applied for the different apartments and how many points the person with the longest waiting time has. The number of points required to be called for a viewing can change if more applicants with many points apply.
Block Expressions of Interest
Your expression of interest is blocked for six months if you:
- forget to respond yes or no three times to viewing offers
- decline apartments more than six times within 12 months after being invited to a viewing
- accept a rental offer and then change your mind when we contact you with the lease agreement
- do not pass our credit check
Expression of interest is blocked for six months, meaning you cannot book any new apartments during that time, but you still accrue queue points.
Bodirekt
If an apartment is not rented after being listed for allocation, it is instead rented out through Bodirekt, where the first person to express interest gets to rent the apartment. When you rent an apartment through Bodirekt, you keep your queue points but cannot express interest in another apartment within nine months after signing the contract.
