Rental – Here's How It Works

Here's what to do if you're interested in renting one of the apartments at Vadden:

1. Join our housing waiting list

We use the points in the housing waiting list when renting out new construction units at Vadden. You earn queue points for each day you’re on our housing waiting list. So, if you’re not already on our housing waiting list, sign up as soon as possible!

2. Express your interest in the apartments you're interested in and rank them in order of priority.

On November 10, we will publish information about the 52 new apartments at Vadden here on our website.

You can then log in to My Pages and apply for the apartments you’re interested in. You can apply for as many as you like—but keep in mind that you should only apply for apartments you’d actually consider living in.

The apartments will be listed for eight days, so you have until then to express your interest and set your priorities. It doesn't matter when during this period you sign up, so you can take your time.

When you rank the apartments, put the one you want most at the top, as number 1. Number 2 is your second choice, and so on. Once the apartments you’ve applied for are in the order of priority you’ve chosen, you can sit back and wait until we start sending out offers.

3. We send out offers

If your score is queue points or lower, you have a favorable credit report, and you have sufficient income, you will receive an offer on the apartment you ranked highest.

You can receive only one offer during the first round of leasing.

The offer will appear on My Pages and will also be sent to you via your preferred method (email or mail). If you decline the offer, you will not receive another offer during the same rental round. Therefore, please express interest only in the apartments you are truly interested in.

Since this is a new construction project, you won't be able to view the apartment before accepting the offer. The response time may therefore be slightly shorter than usual.

It's stated in the offer, and you can see on My Pages how long you have to respond. The easiest way to respond is through My Pages. If you haven't accepted the offer within the specified response time, it will be passed on to the next person in line.

4. You sign a contract

Once you accept the offer, you’ll move on to signing the lease. We may ask you to provide additional information. We’ll then send you the lease for e-signing using BankID. You’ll sign the lease right away, even if you won’t be moving in until later. If you don’t have BankID, you’ll need to visit our Bobutik and sign the lease in person.

You won't start paying rent until the lease takes effect, but you'll receive the first rent invoice the month before you move in, since rent is paid in advance.

Congratulations on your new apartment! You'll be moving in in May 2027.
