At Boplats Växjö, there are two types of housing queues: one for regular apartments (called the housing queue) and one for student housing.
Queue Fee
Joining the housing queue costs SEK 125 per year, starting from the year you turn 20.

You can register for the housing queue from the year you turn 17, but you must be at least 18 years old to rent an apartment from us.

Queue Points
You start collecting queue points from day one after registering in the housing queue.
Your queue points are personal and cannot be combined with someone else's or transferred to another person.
If you:
- Sign a rental agreement while in the housing queue, you are automatically reactivated in the queue. Your queue points are recalculated based on how many points the applicants behind you have.
- Get a student apartment, your queue points are reset. You need to reactivate yourself in the student housing queue if you wish to remain in line.
- Get an apartment via “Direkt”, you keep your queue time and points.
