How to boost your profile
Increase your chances of getting a rental agreement on Qasa by doing the following:
ID-Verification
As a tenant, you have the option to verify your personal identification number with BankID (Swedish, Finnish or Norwegian) or biometric ID verification. You verify your account under Settings > Verifications.
Please note; you need a Swedish BankID to apply for first hand listings published on Qasa by HomeQ. If you find a home that you are interested in, you can also find it on homeq.se, where you can apply without BankID. If you need further assistance, you can contact HomeQ support directly here.
Upload a profile picture
Applicants with a profile picture have a better chance of signing a rental agreement on Qasa. Upload a picture that best represents you as an applicant.
Tell more about yourself
Fill in your profile with information about your hobbies, work or study, and who will be living in the accommodation. Landlords often prefer to rent to people who resemble themselves or share common interests.
Publish your profile
You can choose to publish your profile and make it searchable on the 'Tenants' page. This way, relevant landlords can find and contact you, increasing your chances of finding accommodation. You publish your profile by going to your profile and clicking 'Publish profile'.
In order to publish your profile, the entire profile needs to be filled in and all personal information under your settings. If you get an error message when you are about to publish your profile, you can start by checking:
- That you have filled in all parts of your profile.
- That you have filled in all information under Settings > Personal (including last name and phone number).
Verifications
Under your settings, you will find different verification alternatives that can make your application even more attractive. These may include:
Credit register extract
A register extract is a credit report that you obtain yourself and share with the landlord. It is only visible to professional property owners and managers verified by Qasa. You will be prompted to complete it when applying for one of these accommodations (this is not something you need to consider when applying for a regular sublet).
The same register extract can be reused multiple times and does not affect your creditworthiness. You can see if you have provided a register extract under your settings.
Credit check
A micro credit check is automatically carried out when you enter into an agreement when renting an apartment through us. The inquiry does not affect your creditworthiness and is carried out only after your landlord signs your joint agreement. This is necessary for Qasa to handle your rent payments and determine whether you can rent without paying a deposit.
You can choose to do the credit check yourself before the agreement is signed. This is to find out if you can rent without a deposit or not before entering into an agreement. You can do it under your settings or by clicking "read more" in any housing advertisement (see image).
Income estimation
You have the opportunity to obtain an estimate of your income through our partner Tink. This information is only shared with professional property owners and agents verified by us, to assess income requirements. You will be prompted to estimate your income when applying for accommodations where income requirements are requested (this is not something you need to consider when applying for a regular sublet).
If you find that Tink's estimate of your income is not correct, you have the option to let us manually verify your income by providing us with proof of your income.
