GUIDELINES ON LETTING RESIDENTIALS

Balder strives to promote the fair and well-functioning letting of our residential apartments. All letting should be managed in accordance with the company’s guidelines.

These guidelines have been developed in order to obtain an unbiased assessment when selecting a tenant based on the stakeholders who have registered their interest in an apartment. There must be no discrimination in the selection process on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, ethnic origin, religion or other belief, disability, transgender identity/expression or age.

Our vacant apartments are published on balder.se. We look forward to receiving your application.
