The Migration Board will offer you accommodation

The Migration Board will offer you temporary accommodation while you wait for the outcome of your asylum case. This means that you must move to the location where the Board has a place available. You may also choose to arrange your own accommodation, for example with friends or relatives.
The majority of the temporary accommodation provided by the Migration Board is in normal blocks of flats on average housing estates in medium and small towns across Sweden. If you are single, you must be prepared to share the flat with other single asylum seekers.  

Written housing rules


You are personally responsible for cooking, cleaning, care and maintenance of the flat and the same housing rules apply to you as to other tenants in the building. Should you deliberately damage the flat, you may be liable to pay for the repairs when you move.
 
To ensure that you do not become liable to pay for old damage which may have been caused by the previous guest, it is important that you report any damage or defects as soon as you discover them.
 
You will receive information on how the flat should be looked after when you move in and when you have read it, you will have to confirm in writing that you have received the information.
 

Do not forget to change address


You are always registered with a Reception Unit. Irrespective of whether you choose accommodation provided in one of the Migration Board´s rented flats (ABO) or your own accommodation (EBO) with someone you know, you will be registered with a Reception Unit. The Reception Unit must always know your address so that the Migration Board can contact you.  

Should you move during the waiting period, do not forget to inform your Reception Unit of your new address.
