Register interest
The landlords publishes all the ads on boplats.se. In the ads you find all the information about the apartments. Read the ad carefully before you apply.
In the ad you can see how many have registered interest and what place you have in the queue for that apartment. You can undo you registration of interest until the ad is taken down. You are limited to registering interest for five published apartments at the time.
Rental process
You can follow what is happening with the apartment at My pages / Registered interest. Status describes what phase it is in at the moment.
Published: Still published. Open for more applicants to register interest.
In progress: It is no longer possible to register interest. The landlord has started working with the rental process.
Viewing in progress: The landlord has started sending out invitations to view the apartment.
Viewing finished: The viewing of the apartment is finished. The landlord is working on giving the contract to the applicant who has said 'Yes' and has the longest queue-time.
Contract assigned: The landlord has given the contract to the applicant who had the longest queue time.
Viewing
If you are invited to a viewing you will get a message on My pages / Messages. You can choose to get these messages to your e-mail or mobile phone at My pages / Contact. You will find all the information about the viewing you need in the message.
Say yes / no: After viewing the apartment you must say yes or no to whether you will take the contract if it is given to you. You must reply before the last date. You reply at My pages / Registered interest.
If you have replied "no" more than six times during six months you will temporarily not be able to apply for new apartment. Boplats may also disqualify your previous applications due to too many declined offers. You can change your reply up until last date to reply. After this the landlord will consider you to have said yes or now to signing the contract.
In some cases the landlord has terms and conditions regarding the applicants income. If you have applied for such an apartment, you might need to upload documents/ certificates regarding your income. If so, it's stated in the viewing information. It is good if you prepare to submit documents and have them ready.
