Rental apartments in Stockholm with no waiting list

The average waiting time for a direct lease in Stockholm is 9 years. Campus Star and Campus Stella in Spånga offer rental apartments with direct leases and no queue system — you apply, meet the requirements, and can move in.

Spånga is located 15 minutes from Stockholm Central by commuter train and offers modern apartments in a safe area close to nature northwest of the city.

Why is it so hard to find a rental in Stockholm?

Stockholm’s housing market is one of the toughest in the country. The average waiting time for a direct lease via the Housing Agency is 9 years, and in popular areas, the wait can be even longer.

The subletting market is an alternative but often involves higher rent and insecure contracts. For those who want secure and long-term housing in Stockholm, a direct lease is the goal, and that is exactly what we offer.

Rentals without a queue in Stockholm – how it works

Renting an apartment without a queue means you apply directly and are selected from the applicants who meet the requirements. No queue points, no waiting list.

What does “no queue” mean in practice?

At SBS, you don’t need any queue points to apply for housing. You apply directly, meet our requirements, and are selected from the qualifying applicants. No waiting list, no queue time, just a straight path to your new home.

What are the requirements?

To rent an apartment with us, you need to be studying at a vocational college, university college, or university, have a verified income, a good payment history, and be able to provide references if needed.

What our students say

  • What’s great about living here is the people, and I think my apartment is very clean and modern. Extremely clean and modern, actually, and the gym too. That’s what I love, it’s “really great”.

    Devon, SBS Studentbostäder

    Devon Tenant, Campus Star (Stockholm)

  • The best thing about living here is the community, both the neighbors and the fact that many of my friends live nearby. I also appreciate that it’s only a short, 10-minute walk to Campus.

    Linus, SBS Studentbostäder

    Linus Tenant, Campus Aurora (Luleå)

  • The best thing about living here is that I feel safe and comfortable in the area. Something I really appreciate is that there’s an attached gym in the building, which helps during stressful periods with a lot of studying, as you don’t have to spend time getting to and from your workout. Plus, it’s easy to get into town, which makes the location very practical.

    Rebecca Tenant, Campus Star (Stockholm)

  • I think it’s pleasant and well-structured, with a nice community between the landlord and the students.

    Emilia Tenant, Campus Star (Stockholm)

  • It’s a nice place to live, and I really like the activities. The housing company is more engaged than others, and you get help quickly if problems arise.
