Securing consistency through stronger inspection procedures

At AF Bostäder, all tenants are to be given an equal assessment of the condition of their housing. The company has therefore strengthened its procedures for move-out inspections.

Those who move in to AF Bostäder accommodation are to feel sure they will be provided with good housing that is in good condition. Among other things, the housing is to be intact, clean and safe. In the same way, all those who move out are to feel secure in the knowledge that the final inspection is standardised and fair, so that all are given the same assessment of aspects such as cleaning, wear and tear, and damage.

AF Bostäder has a moving rate of 55% (2024) and is working systematically on procedures for aspects such as moving in, fault reporting, maintenance, repairs and move-out inspections. All caretakers use AF Bostäder’s internally developed business system, and all cases are managed and logged digitally.

The company regularly follows up procedures and the quality of its inspections, and in 2024 the caretakers took an external course to update their knowledge. The course covered everything from rental law to how AF Bostäder is to act to ensure that tenants receive equal assessments, regardless of where they live or who carries out the inspection. New employees are also introduced to the procedures, and the knowledge will be followed up internally on a regular basis.

Replumbing and renovation have given Delphi new life

Art interest became a tasteful reuse gallery

The Vildanden Art Exchange opened in March and was inaugurated with a premiere exhibition, canapés and sparkling wine. It all started when caretaker Jonas Ekman saw all the fine paintings that the students left in the bulky waste station, the Green Room.
