Housing Merit (Bostadsmerit)
What does it mean?
Bostadsmerit is Bofrid's tenant verification system that helps you stand out in the housing market. By verifying your background — employment, income, housing history, credit report, and references — you build a profile that shows landlords you're reliable.
Instead of sending the same documents to every landlord, everything is collected in one place. Landlords using Bofrid can quickly see your Bostadsmerit score and make confident decisions. The system works similarly to a credit score, but focuses on factors relevant to apartment seekers.
The more you verify, the higher your score — and the better your chances of being chosen. Verification is done securely via BankID.
Key Points
- Collects verification of employment, income, housing history, and references
- Score system that increases with more verifications
- Secure verification via BankID
- Saves time — only needs to be done once
- Helps landlords make safer decisions
Practical Tip
Start with BankID verification and upload your credit report (UC/Creditsafe). Then add an employment certificate and a reference. A complete profile with high Bostadsmerit gives you a significant advantage with landlords on Bofrid.
