How payments work
Deposit: You pay the deposit to Bofrid, not the landlord. We hold it securely until you move out.
Monthly rent: Each month you receive an invoice from Bofrid for rent + safety fee. We forward the full rent to the landlord. The safety fee stays with us.
100% of the rent goes to you
It's completely free to list on Bofrid. We charge the tenant a safety fee for the background checks. You keep every krona of the rent you set.
Frequently asked questions
What does it cost for tenants to use Bofrid?
It's completely free to create an account, build your housing CV, search for apartments, and apply. You only pay a service fee when you actually get a home through Bofrid. The fee is based on your housing merit – most tenants quickly reach 5.95% by verifying their identity and adding basic information.
How does the service fee work for tenants?
The service fee is a percentage of the monthly rent that you pay only when you get an apartment. New users start at 14.95%, but the fee drops quickly as you upload documents and build your profile. With a credit report, criminal record extract, and one landlord review, you can easily get down to 5.95%. Upload more documents and collect more reviews to reach as low as 3.95%.
How do I lower my service fee on Bofrid?
Upload documents like your credit report, criminal record extract, and proof of income – each document lowers your fee. Ask previous landlords for a review and add employment or study certificates. Most people reach 5.95% within a few days. With all documents and multiple landlord reviews, you can reach 3.95%.
Why do tenants pay but landlords don't?
We want as many landlords as possible to list on Bofrid – that's why it's completely free for them. Tenants pay a small service fee only upon successful rental, and the fee decreases the more you build your profile. This creates more apartments to choose from and rewards serious tenants.
