Step 1: What do landlords in Eskilstuna say about moving out?
A rental apartment has a three-month notice period to the nearest month change, according to jordabalken (the Swedish Land Code). This is what the largest landlords in Eskilstuna write about notice, inspection and keys.

- Kfast
- Eskilstuna kommunfastigheter, the municipality's company. Notice is given in writing and the notice period is three months from the month change that comes closest. A property manager performs a preliminary inspection, and after the move-out cleaning, a cleaning and final inspection is performed according to Kfast's checklist. The keys are handed over on the first weekday of the month between 7 and 12. If a key is missing or you come later, you will be charged for cylinder replacement.

Housing queue in Eskilstuna
There is no municipal housing agency in Eskilstuna. The municipality's company Kfast has its own housing queue, which is free. You get one point per day and lose all points if you do not log in at least every twelfth month. You can register interest for three apartments at a time. Apartments marked Bostad direkt can be applied for without queue points.

Step 2: Which moving firms in Eskilstuna do you recommend?
We have checked three removal companies in Eskilstuna: Flytt & Städ AMA, Sméexpress and Talkoo. Flytt & Städ AMA is our favourite. Book as soon as you know the date, and ask for a quote where labour costs are stated separately, since only the work gives RUT tax deduction.

Step 3: Where do I leave bulk waste in Eskilstuna?
Everything should be sorted visibly in the containers, so empty the rubbish bags on site. The staff will help you sort but not with heavy lifting or unloading. As a private person, you are not allowed to drive in with a vehicle that weighs over 3.5 tons. Hazardous waste is left in the Environmental Shed, a maximum of 50 kilos per visit. Asbestos is only accepted at Lilla Nyby. At ReTuna, a visit fee is charged for company vehicles during the day on weekdays.

Step 4: What about residential parking when moving in Eskilstuna?
Notify Skatteverket (the Swedish Tax Agency) of the move before you move or at the latest one week after. Resident parking is available in ticket area C1 and in the Vildsvinet parking garage. You must be registered in the population register within postcode 632 17, 632 18, 632 19 or 632 20 and own the car, and you get one resident parking per registered address. In C1 it costs 250 kr for 15 days or 500 kr for 30 days, in Vildsvinet 650 kr per calendar month. You apply through the municipality's e-service.

Step 5: Can the mobile car stand on the street in Eskilstuna?
If the moving truck is to stand where parking is not allowed, you can apply for a temporary parking permit from the municipality's traffic unit. It is valid for a maximum of two days, and the municipality asks you to apply the day before. For a container or other object on the street, pavement or square, a police permit is required, and the municipality usually charges a fee for the land. The police charge 990 kr for the permit.

Step 6: Which cleaning companies do move-out cleaning in Eskilstuna?
We have checked two cleaning companies that do move-out cleaning in Eskilstuna: Flytt & Städ AMA and Talkoo. Talkoo is our favourite. Book the cleaning so that it is ready before the inspection, and ask what the company's guarantee covers if the inspection does not approve the cleaning.

Step 7: What happens at the inspection and key handover?
The last step is to hand over the home. Book the move-out cleaning so that it is finished before a possible inspection, and return all keys. Save the invoices from the removal company and the move-out cleaning, where the RUT tax deduction should be stated. Both deductions count towards the same limit of 75,000 kronor per person and year. What the landlords in Eskilstuna say about inspections and keys is in step 1.
