The board has decided to raise the fees to 840 kr/m2/year from the previous 732 kr/m2/year. The fee will be increased from 1 January 2024.

This corresponds to, for example:

As a result of sharply rising interest rates, inflation and higher prices, the association's expected costs continue to increase. Among other things, the cost of garbage collection will increase by approx. 25%, water by approx. 48%, district heating by approx. 6.5%. The cost of security services also increases with a new extended agreement, and the board unfortunately considers that this is necessary under current circumstances.

The board is constantly working actively to review existing costs in order to find ways to streamline and reduce costs. However, to ensure the association's long-term financial sustainability the fee increase is necessary. Many housing associations are facing similar increases.

We can all help to reduce the association's costs and increase income. Leave garbage in the designated place and do not litter, close windows and doors when it is cold outside, report damage in public areas so it can be fixed, tell friends about the possibility to rent garage space, and get involved in the association's safety-enhancing work such as the Neighbourhood Watch, and report to the police in case of crime.

Lessee tenants (staying on rent) are not affected by the increase in the fee; the rent level is negotiated separately with the Tenant's Association.

It is getting colder outside and energy prices are expected to rise again. The association has implemented and continues to plan for measures to decrease energy consumption: adjustments, maintenance, and upgrades to our heating systems, sealing of valves, as well as replacing doors and windows.

But there are also some easy but effective measures that all residents can do to significantly improve the indoor climate conditions of their apartment:

  • Ventilate quickly through cross ventilation rather than having your windows open for a long time.
  • Do not place furniture in front of radiators, it will trap the heat.
  • Seal window frames and balcony door frames. You can easily replace window and door trims yourself to reduce the draft of cold air from outside. Some apartments still have original trims from the 1970’s.
