Real reviews from tenants and landlords using Bofrid
Jag som är lite äldre till åren har lyckats hyra ut med bofrid. De hjälpte mig och tog kontakt med min hyresvärd för att jag skulle kunna få alla papper rätt. Mycket bra service av Philip på kundservice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it really free for landlords?
Yes, it's completely free for landlords to list properties, receive applications, and sign rental contracts digitally with BankID. We charge tenants for background checks and safety features instead.
Do you help with Swedish tax rules?
Yes, we provide information about the latest rules for private rentals. As a landlord in Sweden, you can often benefit from a standard deduction of 40,000 SEK per year, making a large portion of your rental income tax-free.
How does the criminal background check work?
Bofrid is unique in allowing tenants to verify themselves with an extract from the Swedish Police criminal register. This gives you as a landlord a level of security that other platforms lack.
What is Housing Merit (Bostadsmerit)?
It's the tenant's digital CV. It contains verified income, references from previous landlords, and confirmed good conduct. As a landlord, you see all of this directly in the application.
How does the right of residence work?
We help you navigate the rules around right of residence. For most private individuals renting out their home, there are simple ways to waive this to maintain flexibility.
