Fault report – how do you report a fault in your home?

Not everything that goes wrong in your home can be reported as a fault. As a tenant, you have the responsibility to solve certain problems on your own. Here we have gathered the most common problems that can arise for you as a tenant and explain how to proceed to solve the problem. If you can not solve the problem yourself with the help of the guides below, you will find Fault report on My Pages.

What can I report?

General in the home

When it gets cold outside, it may take time before the heating system adapts. A cold radiator does not have to mean that there is something wrong, it is the temperature in the room that is important.

• Are there furniture, such as a couch or bed, close to the radiator that can prevent the heat from the element from spreading? If so, move the furniture so that they stand a few decimeters away from the radiator.
• Do thick curtains cover the thermostat? This may trap the heat and cause the thermostat to feel higher temperature than the room has and the radiator may therefore strike.
• Are the window ventilators closed? Open them! The air quality will be better. If you close the window ventilators, the air will enter the home anyway; through mailboxes, windows and doors. It can also lead to other things entering the room, like cooking fumes and cigarette smoke, etc.
• Finally, turn the thermostat knob back and forth at least ten times. Why? Well, because the valve may be stuck in a closed position during the summer and turning it around might set it in the fully open position.

If you have tried the above but it is still cold, contact our fault report on +46 13 – 20 86 60.

If one of your neighbours is noisy, it’s best if you talk to that person first. If things don’t improve, you may report this to us.

In the bathroom

Before you make a fault report you have to do the following steps:

  1. Make sure that the drainage is clear of hair and dirt.
  2. To solve easier blockages in the drain, you can pour in half a deciliter of bicarbonate or baking powder together with half a deciliter of vinegar in the drain.
  3. Leave it for a while to work and rinse clean with hot water. Remember to NEVER use chemical preparations such as lye or caustic soda.

If you have cleaned the drain but the issue is still there, create a fault report on My Pages or by calling us on +46 13 – 20 86 60.

 

 

 

 

You clean your washbasin drain on your own. The easiest way to do so is to:

  1. Place a bucket below the drain and remove the pipe.
  2. Remove any hair and dirt that might appear and clean the pipe. When you put the pipe back, make sure it is not leaking. Check that there are no leaks putting on the water.
