Elevator Replacement at Kurorten

We will be replacing the elevators at Kurortsvägen 12–18, starting in the fall of 2026. The work will affect you as a tenant in various ways during the weeks when work is scheduled for your building.

Here's how the elevator replacement will affect you as a tenant:

  • Kurortsvägen 12, 14, and 16: The elevator will be out of service for about nine weeks.
  • Kurortsvägen 18: Only one elevator will be available for approximately 15 weeks.
  • Noise: The work generates disruptive noise. Working hours are on weekdays from approximately 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
  • On-site technicians: Hisstjänst in Skaraborg is performing the work.
  • It's messy in the stairwell.

If you live at Kurortsvägen 10, you will not be affected by the work.

Schedule for Elevator Replacements

Your elevator is expected to be out of service:

  • Kurortsvägen 18:
    o Left elevator: Weeks 37–51, 2026
    o Right elevator: Weeks 2–16, 2027
  • Kurortsvägen 16: Weeks 12–20, 2027
  • Kurortsvägen 14: Weeks 36–44, 2027
  • Kurortsvägen 12: Weeks 41–49, 2027

Plan your move and, if possible, avoid moving during the period when your building does not have an elevator.

Needs to be replaced

Elevators wear out over time and need to be replaced at regular intervals. We are replacing the elevators at Kurorten so that we will have well-maintained elevators that will continue to function for many years to come.

Renovation at Snickaren

Most of the apartments at Snickaren are currently being renovated. The bathrooms are being refurbished, and at the same time, certain improvements are being made to the kitchens and to enhance electrical safety. The renovation focuses on sustainability and reuse. Items that are still in good condition are refurbished and reinstalled, while others are replaced with new ones as needed. The work is scheduled to take place from August 2026 through the winter of 2026.

The following measures are being implemented in all apartments at Snickaren:

Shower Room

  • New floor mat
  • New fully tiled walls
  • New mirror cabinet with lighting and a 220-volt electrical outlet.
  • The toilet, sink, washing machine (if any), and shower stall will be reinstalled or replaced with new ones as needed. The radiators and doors will be painted and reinstalled or replaced as needed.

Kitchen

  • New lighting on the ceiling and by the sink
  • Moisture protection is installed in the sink cabinet
  • Stove Circuit Switch, Pre-wired for 3-Phase Power

Electrical Safety and Water

  • Replacement of the electrical panel and installation of a ground fault circuit interrupter
  • All electrical outlets are grounded
  • Individual metering and billing for hot and cold water is being introduced

Eligible Actions

Some options are optional. The tenant can choose the following optional extras:

  • Towel warmer (48 SEK per month)
  • Kitchen package (90–370 SEK per month, depending on the package and the size of the apartment).

Tenants can continue to live there while the work is being done

Tenants can continue to live in their apartments throughout the renovation. The work in each apartment is expected to take about 15 workdays.

Good to know:

  • In the meantime, there is a trailer with a restroom and shower in the courtyard. There is also a restroom in the basement.
  • There may be noise, service disruptions, and brief water outages.

Rent Increase After Completion of Work

According to an agreement with the Tenants’ Association, these measures will result in a rent increase of 175 SEK per month. This amount covers the renovation of the shower room and kitchen, as well as electrical safety measures. In connection with the introduction of individual metering and billing for hot and cold water, the base rent will be reduced by an amount corresponding to normal consumption based on current levels.

Compensation

Compensation for disruptions and reduced use of the apartment will be paid at 50% of the base rent the month after the work is completed. The compensation also covers electricity usage and additional cleaning services beyond the contractor’s final cleaning.
