• You may not have more people living in the apartment than is reasonable in relation to the apartment’s size.
• You may not have any negative housing references.

Create an application

You can register for placement in Mimer’s queue beginning from the year of your 16^th birthday. From the date that you register, you will begin to collect queue points (köpoäng).

If both you and your partner want to be listed on the apartment lease, you must submit a joint application. To be approved as a co-applicant, you must live under marriage-like conditions.

In order to keep your queue points, you must log in and update your contact details once every 12 months. Otherwise, you will lose your queue points and your application will be deleted. It is your responsibility to keep track of your application and when it needs to be updated.

What are queue points?

Once you have registered, you earn 1 point per day. The more points you have, the greater your chance of getting an apartment.

Once you agree to sign a lease, your queue points and application are reset to zero (the same applies in the case of a housing swap).

Your queue points are personal and cannot be transferred or combined with anyone else’s queue points. However, there are two exceptions to this rule that allow for the transfer of queue points. In both cases, you must present a certificate. Queue points can be transferred to a cohabitant who lived under marriage-like conditions with the other party in the following circumstances:

1. in case of death.
2. in case of a permanent move to a nursing home.

You can view your current queue point balance by logging in to Mina sidor (My pages), the information is in Swedish.

The number of people living in the apartment must be reasonable in relation to the size of the apartment in order to prevent unhealthy living conditions. It is important that you think about this when you are applying for one of our apartments.

The following guidelines apply:

Mimer’s concept living

In addition to student apartments and short-term contracts, you can find all available apartments under Lediga lägenheter (Available apartments) – the information is in Swedish. All apartments are rented via a queue point system. For basic requirements, please refer to the section “What requirements do applicants have to meet?”

Smoke-free

All of our newly-constructed buildings are “smoke-free buildings” to help tenants who have physical issues with smoke. A smoke-free building means that there is no smoking inside the apartment, on the balcony/patio, at the entrance, or in the common areas of the property.

Quick occupancy (Snabb inflytt)

Quick occupancy is a designation given to apartments with no more than 1 month left before the tenant can move in. When an apartment is available for renting, it is published together with other available apartments for 48 hours. You can express your interest during this time window.

Quick occupancy apartments are rented out based on the queue point system, just like other apartments.

To be eligible to rent a quick occupancy apartment, you must:

• Meet our basic requirements for apartment rental.
• Be prepared to accept the apartment as soon as it is available to rent.

Easy living 55+

The main applicant must be 55 years of age or older. The spouse or live-in partner may be younger. You may not have any children living at home.

Youth apartments

• You must be between the ages of 18 and 27.
• Renting is done via the regular queue system.
• You have the right to stay in the apartment for as long as you like, i.e. even after you have exceeded the age of 27.
• The main applicant must meet the age requirement at the time of application. A co-applicant can be included on the lease, even if that person does not meet the age requirement.

Short-term contract

The apartment is rented out for a limited period of time due to renovation in the area or because the apartment is being used as an evacuation apartment. As a tenant, you are entitled to stay in the apartment until Mimer requires it. The contract runs on a month-to-month basis, with one month’s notice required by you as the tenant and by Mimer as the landlord.

You will keep your queue point balance and can apply for other apartments during this period.

In order to rent an apartment with a short-term contract, you must:

• Meet our basic requirements for apartment rental.
• Be prepared to accept the apartment as soon as it is available to rent.
