Here you will learn what kind of area it is, what rents have applied on the street and what the landlord requires. ## Where is Lundbygatan 1A? Lundbygatan is a short residential street in the district of Bräcke, close to Eriksberg and Kyrkbyn. [Bräcke](https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Br%C3%A4cke,_G%C3%B6teborg) became a district of its own in 1923 and before that belonged to Lundby parish, which also explains the street's name. The district covers 186 hectares and administratively belongs to the primary area of Kyrkbyn. It is also home to Gothenburg's first small-cottage area, laid out in 1934. Until 2021 the area was part of the [Lundby district council area](https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lundby_(stadsdelsn%C3%A4mndsomr%C3%A5de)), which stretched across central Hisingen from the Älvsborg Bridge in the west to the Tingstad Tunnel in the east. The street is lined mainly with older apartment buildings. The nearest large grocery store is at Eriksberg, a few minutes' walk away. ## Who is the landlord? The property Lundbygatan 1 is managed by Förvaltnings AB Västerstaden, a private, family-owned property company with an office in Gothenburg. Västerstaden also owns properties at several other addresses along Lundbygatan. The company is on [the Swedish Union of Tenants' list of landlords in Gothenburg](https://www.hyresgastforeningen.se/om-oss/hyresvardar/hyresvardar-i-goteborg/). ## Rents on Lundbygatan Exact rents for each apartment are only published when an apartment becomes vacant.

You create an account there and register your interest in the apartment you want. The company does not accept applications by email or phone and does not answer questions about individual applications. If you move forward, you will be contacted. If you have heard nothing within 14 days, you most likely did not get the apartment. It therefore pays to keep an eye on HomeQ and have your profile ready, so you can register interest as soon as something comes up. ### The landlord's requirements According to Västerstaden's letting policy, the requirements include: - You must be at least 18, have a Swedish personal identity number or coordination number, and valid ID. - The apartment must be your permanent home, and you must register your address there within four weeks of moving in. - The household's gross income must be at least four times the annual rent. The income must be lasting and documented, for example a permanent job, a probationary employment or a pension. - You must have no payment remarks or debts with the Enforcement Authority (Kronofogden). A credit check is made on all applicants. - References are taken from your current or previous landlord. - The number of occupants is limited, for example at most two people in a two-room apartment and at most four in a three-room apartment. Meeting the requirements does not guarantee a contract. The landlord makes an overall assessment. ## Swapping to or from Lundbygatan 1A If you already have a rental apartment, a swap can be a way in. Swap listings for the address do occur. Under [chapter 12, section 35 of the Land Code](https://www.riksdagen.se/sv/dokument-och-lagar/dokument/svensk-forfattningssamling/jordabalk-1970994_sfs-1970-994/), the rent tribunal can approve a swap if you have considerable reasons and the swap can take place without significant inconvenience to the landlord. If either of you has lived in your apartment for less than a year, exceptional reasons are required. If the landlord says yes, no decision from the rent tribunal is needed. Never pay for a contract or a swap. It is prohibited under the Land Code and can also lead to the swap being refused. ## Subletting If you want to sublet your apartment, you need the landlord's consent or the rent tribunal's permission, under chapter 12, sections 39 and 40 of the Land Code. If you are subletting an apartment yourself, check that the first-hand tenant has that permission before you sign. ## Summary The address is a rental property in Bräcke on Hisingen managed by Västerstaden. Vacant apartments can only be applied for through HomeQ, and the landlord requires, among other things, an income of at least four times the annual rent and no payment remarks. If you already have a rental apartment, a swap can be an alternative, but it requires the landlord's yes or the rent tribunal's permission.
