Mölndalsbostäder AB

What Mölndalsbostäder AB does

Mölndalsbostäder AB is a municipal housing company (allmännyttigt bostadsföretag) wholly owned by Mölndals stad (Mölndal Municipality) and registered as a Swedish public limited company (organisationsnummer 556015-2885). Operating as Mölndal's largest landlord for over a century, the company manages approximately 3,043 rental apartments, 821 cooperative/social housing units (including elderly care, LSS group homes, and security housing), and around 40 commercial premises across roughly 290,851 sqm of total floor area. Revenue in fiscal year 2025 was 472.6 million SEK with a result after financial items of 50.3 million SEK, against a property portfolio valued at 6,895 million SEK and a 17.9% equity ratio.

The company serves individual residential tenants (singles, couples, families, seniors) and a smaller base of commercial tenants. Its primary revenue stream is recurring monthly residential rent, supplemented by commercial leases, parking, storage, annual water/utility adjustments (most recently from 1 February 2026), and the optional Plusval renovation program under which tenants add upgrade payments of up to 800–1,400 SEK/month over 72 months to fund kitchen, bathroom, or safety upgrades. Rents are negotiated collectively with Hyresgästföreningen and are set approximately 56 SEK per sqm per year below comparable rentals in exchange for tenant responsibility for surface maintenance. Allocation runs through the Boplats regional housing queue and an internal Mölndalsbostäderdagar tenure-based priority system.

Technology is limited to operational tools rather than proprietary platforms: a public website built on Umbraco CMS, a BankID/Freja eID-authenticated tenant portal (Mina sidor) for contracts, fault reporting, and self-service, and integrations with Boplats (regional housing queue), Zitius/Zmarket (open broadband network), and Mölndals Parkering (parking). The company holds ISO 9001 certification, operates a Step 3 collaboration agreement with Mölndals stad for priority housing allocation, and reports 2025 tenant satisfaction scores of 82.4 (service index) and 78.7 (product index).
