About your accommodation

How should I think about what I flush down the sink/WC?

You as a tenant have a duty of care According to the Rental Act, there is also a new law since January 1, 2024 that describes the management of edible fats and oils. It must not be poured down the drain, but needs to be sorted as food waste or left at a recycling center. To help both you and us, you will find the attached document below with useful information on how to think about flushing in your toilet and handling cooking fat when cooking.

For example, neglecting your duty of care as a tenant could mean flushing things down the drain that should not be there. This in turn can lead to costs for restoration, which both we and you reasonably want to avoid. We therefore want to help you as a tenant to take care of your accommodation in the best possible way.

Info on TV/Broadband

Do I contact the electricity company myself or is it done automatically?

If you have your own electricity contract, you must cancel your electricity contract yourself before you move out. If you live in a property where we charge you for your electricity consumption, you do not need to do anything. Contact us at uthyrning@slatto.se if you are unsure.

Why are some storerooms inside the apartment?

One of the reasons is to have fewer public areas. This gives residents a safer home but also cheaper operating costs for maintaining heating, for example. The properties being built are designed not only to meet today's environmental requirements but also for the next 15 to 20 years, which will mean stricter requirements for the consumption of heat, for example.

Our responsibility is to build properties with future requirements and with that comes a change in our behavior to live in our homes today.

Why do I need to take out home insurance?

It is important that you have home insurance. Burglary, fire or water damage can happen to anyone. You risk being liable for compensation if, for example, your aquarium or washing machine starts leaking and there is damage to your flat, a neighbor's flat or the property in general.
