Step 1: What do the landlords in Växjö 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 Växjö write about notice, inspection and keys.

- Vidingehem
- The council's housing company. The notice period is always three full calendar months, regardless of the day of the month you give notice, and the same applies to parking and garage. After the notice, a preliminary inspection is booked within two to three weeks. The final inspection is booked by you yourself at the customer center no later than four weeks before the move. If the cleaning is not sufficient, Vidingehem orders re-cleaning at your expense, and if keys are missing, the lock cylinder is replaced at your expense.

Step 2: Which moving companies in Växjö do you recommend?
We have checked three moving companies in Växjö: Moving agency, Royal Clean 24 and Växjö's moving help. Moving agency is our favourite. Book as soon as you know the date, and ask for a quote where the labour cost is specified, since only the labour gives RUT tax deduction.

Step 3: Where do I leave raw waste in Växjö?
SSAM is a waste company owned by Växjö and four neighbouring municipalities. The recycling centres are staffed, and the staff help you sort. Empty the bags into the right container and put packaging and newspapers in a recycling station first. Flex-ÅVC in Rottne is open every day but is only for you if you are registered in or have a property in Växjö municipality with waste collection and have done the web training Green Card.
SSAM has eight recycling centres: Norremark's recycling park, Häringetorp, Rottne (Flex-ÅVC), Braås, Furuby, Ingelstad, Lammhult and Åby.

Step 4: What about residential parking when moving in Växjö?
Report the move to Skatteverket (the Swedish Tax Agency) before you move or at the latest one week after. For parking for a longer period, for example for residents, the municipality has a 30-day ticket that applies in parking zone 2. It costs 650 kronor per month, and you can stand for a maximum of 48 hours in a row in the same place. Outside the parking zones, you can stand for a maximum of 24 hours in a row on weekdays where nothing else is signposted.

Step 5: Can the mobile car stand on the street in Växjö?
If you want to place a container on the municipality's public land, you pay rent to the municipality and also need a police permit, which you apply for from the police. The police charge 990 kronor and state that a permit is not required if the location is only used temporarily and to a minor extent. The municipality does not specify anything about a moving truck that just stands and loads.

Step 6: Which cleaning companies do move-out cleaning in Växjö?
We have checked three cleaning companies that do move-out cleaning in Växjö: Moving Agency, Complete Service and Växjö Cleaning Environment. Växjö Cleaning Environment is our favourite. Book the cleaning so that it is ready before the inspection, and ask what the company's guarantee applies if the inspection does not approve the cleaning.

Step 7: What happens at the inspection and key handover?
The final step is to hand over the accommodation. Book the move-out cleaning so that it is ready 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 are counted against the same limit of 75,000 kronor per person and year. What the landlords in Växjö say about inspections and keys is in step 1.
