Skebo offers accommodation for everyone, and we have different housing categories: student apartments, youth apartments, +55 apartments, and sheltered housing. There is only one queue (except the student queue), through which all apartment types can be applied for.
Apartments are assigned to the person with the most queue points and who meets Skebo’s basic requirements (i.e. you must be of legal age, meet our requirements for debts and have no previous record of non-payment, have no misconduct in your relationship with Skebo in the last two years, and you must use the apartment as a permanent residence, not as a second home).
How our queue system works
You can register as a housing applicant from the age of 15. After registering as a housing applicant, you start to accumulate queue points – you earn one queue point per day. You maintain your status as an active housing applicant by logging in to My Account at least every 12 months. If you forget to log in within 12 months, you will have to reregister and start collecting points again. At the same time, check that your personal information (address, telephone number, email address) is up to date.
Your points are personal and cannot be transferred or added to someone else’s points. Spouses, cohabitants, and relatives must register individually and earn their own points. The points are personal and you are only able to use your own queue points to apply for housing. If there is indication afterwards that this rule was contravened, you risk the termination of your lease and the deletion of your queue points. Your earned points then form the basis for signing a contract for a home.
When you get a queue apartment
As soon as you sign a contract for a queue apartment, your queue points are reset. You can’t enter into a contract afterwards. To re-enter the queue, you need to reregister (My Account). Once you have received a queue apartment, you cannot express interest in another apartment earlier than nine months from the time the contract was signed.
Direct Booking - No Queue required
Direct Booking - No Queue required is a service geared towards housing applicants who urgently need a home. Whoever first expresses their interest becomes first in the queue. If you receive your apartment via Direct Booking, you get to keep your queue points, but cannot express interest in another apartment within nine months of signing the contract.
Termination of lease notice period
When you terminate your apartment and the contract with Skebo, the notice period is three months (this also applies if you are moving to another Skebo apartment).
Distribution of Apartments
The 20 applicants with the most points in our booking system will receive an offer to accept or decline if you want to rent the apartment. The offer letter will include any potential viewing time. You can respond to the offer on "Mina sidor" (My Account). If you accept, the response is binding. If multiple applicants accept, the apartment will go to the one with the most points. Once we have contacted you by phone or email to inform you that you have been assigned the rental agreement, you must confirm if you want to sign the contract by 12:00 PM the following day (1 day). Otherwise, Skebo has the right to assign the apartment to the next person in the queue. For student apartments, there are no viewings, and the contract goes to the student who first expresses interest.
The website shows in real-time how many people have applied for the different apartments and how many points the person with the highest points has. The number of points required to be invited for a viewing can change if more people with high 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 offers within 12 months
- decline apartment offers six times within 12 months
- accept a apartment offer and then change your mind when we contact you to sign 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 accumulate queue points.
