What Is Corporate Housing? How Företagsbostäder Works Step by Step
What Is Corporate Housing – and How Does It Actually Work?
If you're arranging temporary housing for an employee working in another city, you may have come across terms like "corporate housing" or "corporate apartment". But what do they really mean – and how does it work in practice?
This guide walks you through the entire process: from booking to check-out, what’s included, how it differs from hotels, and who it’s best suited for.
What is corporate housing?
Corporate housing refers to a fully furnished apartment rented by a company for employees, consultants, or project teams working away from home – typically for weeks or months.
The goal is to provide a comfortable, home-like, and functional living environment that supports work and well-being, with more space, privacy, and flexibility than a hotel.
At Företagsbostäder, we specialize in renting out these types of apartments to companies across Sweden.
How does it work? Step-by-step
Booking – how do you get started?
You contact Företagsbostäder with basic info:
- City and are
- Number of people
- Move-in date and estimated duration
You’ll receive a tailored proposal based on availability and needs. The booking process is handled digitally or with personal service.
No deposit is required, and rental periods are flexible, making it easy to extend or shorten based on project changes.
Move-in – what happens at arrival?
Your employee receives a fully prepared apartment:
- Furnished and cleaned
- Equipped with a kitchen, bathroom, and workspace
- Includes Wi-Fi, TV, and kitchenware
- Keys are collected via the key box or as agreed.
- Welcome, instructions, and customer service contact details are provided.
During the stay – what’s included?
The monthly rent always includes:
- Furniture, kitchen equipment, bed linens
- High-speed Wi-Fi
- Weekly cleaning
- Electricity, heating, and water
- Access to support services
Service requests (e.g., Wi-Fi, repairs) are submitted via a digital support system, and urgent issues are prioritized.
Check-out – what’s expected?
Keys are returned as instructed. Final cleaning is included, and your company receives a single, clear invoice with no hidden fees.
If you need new accommodation for another assignment, it can be arranged with the same contact person.
