Moving in Norrköping step by step

Nodra runs Norrköping's five returpunkter, which are the municipality's recycling centres, and people in Norrköping drop off sorted bulky waste there. A removal van that takes up an insignificant amount of public space for at most two hours normally needs no permit, but a container always does. The residential parking permit ends when you move from the address. Hyresbostäder books the inspection within three working days after notice.

At least three months before the move

Step 1: What do the landlords in Norrköping say about moving out?

A rental apartment has a notice period of three months to the nearest month end, according to jordabalken (the Swedish Land Code). Here is what the largest landlords in Norrköping write about notice, inspection and keys.

Hyresbostäder i Norrköping: The inspection is booked within three working days after notice. The company has move-out cleaning partners and says you are guaranteed an approved cleaning inspection if you order from them. If you use another cleaning company, you book the cleaning inspection yourself. The company calls itself Norrköping's largest housing company, but the landlords' relative size has not been verified.

Housing queue in Norrköping

The municipality's page about finding housing refers to hyresbostader.se and studentbo.se, and we found no municipal housing agency. Hyresbostäder has its own queue with queue points for apartments, student apartments, parking spaces and storage. You can register from the age of 16 but must be 18 to sign a tenancy agreement. Studentbo gives a housing guarantee to students admitted to Linköpings universitet and some YH programmes.

Step 2: Which removal companies in Norrköping do you recommend?

We have checked three removal companies in Norrköping: Flytt & Städjouren, FramTransport and Steg Logistic. Flytt & Städjouren is our favourite. Book as soon as you know the date, and ask for a quote where the labour cost is shown separately, because only the labour qualifies for the RUT tax deduction.

Flytt & Städjouren Kungstorget 2 BV, Norrköping. Google 4.6 out of 5 from 827 reviews. Checked 3 October 2026. Our favourite.

Step 4: What applies to residential parking when you move in Norrköping?

Notify Skatteverket (the Swedish Tax Agency) of the move before you move or at the latest one week after. Residential parking exists in twelve areas, and the permit is free and lasts two years. You must be registered in the population register in the area and be the registered owner of the vehicle. If you move from the address where you have the permit, or change vehicle, the permit ends. The municipality advises you to wait a couple of days after the new population registration before you apply again. The fee for parking in the area is 65 to 100 kr per seven days depending on the zone.

Step 5: Can the removal van stand on the street in Norrköping?

Polismyndigheten decides on permits to use public places, and the municipality's urban planning office gives an opinion. The municipality's guideline is that no permit is required when the place is occupied for at most two hours and to an insignificant extent, so a removal van that stands for a shorter time normally needs none. A container always requires a permit and may only stand on a hard surface. The municipality's fee is 400 kr per container and started day in sales zones 1 and 2 and 200 kr in zone 3, plus 900 kr in an administrative fee. Loading zones and local traffic regulations still apply, and the police's own application fee is not included in the source material.

Step 7: What happens at the inspection and key handover?

The last step is handing over the home. Book the move-out cleaning so that it is finished before any inspection, and return all keys. Keep the invoices from the removal company and the move-out cleaning, where the RUT tax deduction should appear. Both deductions count towards the same ceiling of 75,000 kronor per person and year. What the landlords in Norrköping say about inspection and keys is in step 1.
