The importance of checking home insurance cover

It is of course to be extra satisfying to be an AF Bostäder tenant or staff member. That is why both students and staff members receive a range of useful and entertaining offers in the bonus club, bo.nus.

Once per semester the students on corridors carry out spring cleaning of shared spaces. By introducing an inspiring competition, the caretakers at Parentesen made cleaning more fun and reduced the number of re-inspections.

About half of AF Bostäder’s housing is corridor accommodation, a pleasant form of housing in which the students have their own room but share communal spaces with others. With careful management and a social perspective, AF Bostäder pays special attention to life on a corridor – a secure, affordable and fun kind of housing that is also a strong bearer of culture.

Alcohol has a big place in our culture, not least in student life where many also encounter other intoxicants. AF Bostäder has expanded its information initiative, Help, which previously focused on mental health problems, to also offer contact details for concerns relating to alcohol and drugs. And more subject areas are in the pipeline.

The Housing Ombudsman has produced a questionnaire that confirms previous assumptions about international students’ needs for social activities as well as information and motivation regarding waste sorting.

AF Bostäder is to introduce culture as a new sustainability perspective based on, among other things, the Foundation’s statutes and the Government’s policy for designed living environment. According to the statutes, AF Bostäder is to work for cultural and friendly relations between the tenants. The Government’s policy covers architecture, form, design, art and cultural legacy.

AF Bostäder organises competitions for students to strengthen well-being and a sense of community. Last year saw the premiere of the “Mello” TikTok Song Contest. The entries flowed in and AF Bostäder recorded its own.

Among its initiatives for social sustainability, AF Bostäder invited students to outdoor circuit training. Instructors from Gerdahallen held popular sessions that offered tough tabata workouts.

Lund students are often seen cycling – an eco-friendly and healthy way to get around. Cycling is something that AF Bostäder would like to encourage, and most recently this took the form of free bike servicing.

As one of the initiatives for social sustainability, AF Bostäder’s property developers have introduced security walks. Based on the housing areas’ Swedish Quality Index (SKI) ratings, the walks are to result in security enhancement measures for the outdoor environment. Internally, the initiative was named the best sustainability project of 2024.
