Frequently asked questions
How does Bofrid help me find tenants?
We promote your listing across channels and match you with people looking in your area. You get instant access to people with location watches in your area, plus anyone who applies directly to your listing.
Can I see the tenant's background?
All tenants are verified with BankID or an approved ID document. Candidates can choose to upload documents such as previous housing, landlord references, credit reports, criminal records, and income documentation, but it's optional, so available information varies from candidate to candidate.
What does it cost?
Listing and reviewing candidates is completely free. Chat with every candidate is free and unlimited. If you want to reach more tenants, you can upgrade to a premium listing. Your property will then appear at the top of search results and be sent as an alert to everyone searching in your area.
What's the difference between location watches and direct applications?
Location watches are people who've said they're looking in your area, and you get access to them instantly. Direct applications are people who actively applied to your specific listing, meaning higher intent.
What is the difference between Bofrid and Qasa?
The difference is the business model. Qasa is a managed rental service: listing is free for you as a landlord, but the tenant pays a 5.95% service fee on top of the rent every month (Qasa in Sweden), and the contract and rent payments run through Qasa. That fee pays for a rent guarantee and payment handling, but it also makes your home more expensive to rent. Bofrid is a marketplace: no service fee and no commission on the rent, for you or your tenant. The rent you set is the rent the tenant pays. In return, you write the rental contract and receive the rent yourself. Fees are each service's Swedish pricing, August 2026.
What is the difference between Bofrid and Samtrygg?
Samtrygg is a managed sublet service. It is free for you as a landlord, but the tenant pays 15% on top of the rent once the contract is signed (Samtrygg in Sweden), and Samtrygg handles the contract, the rent payments and a rent guarantee. Bofrid is a marketplace: free listing, unlimited chat with every candidate, and no service fee on the rent for either party. That means your home costs the tenant less and you reach more applicants, but also that you handle the contract and the rent directly with your tenant. Fees are each service's Swedish pricing, August 2026.
Does Bofrid take a service fee or commission on the rent?
No. Bofrid takes no service fee, no commission and no share of the rent, not from you as a landlord and not from your tenant. Publishing a listing, reviewing candidates and chatting with every candidate is free and unlimited, with no subscription and no commitment. The only paid option is a voluntary premium listing for wider reach. Managed services work differently: in Sweden, on Qasa the tenant pays 5.95% on top of the rent, and on Samtrygg 15%. Fees are each service's Swedish pricing, August 2026.
