Welcome the test version of Boligmerket
Sarpsborg municipality, through the project Bo bedre and Områdesatsningen i Østre bydel, invites landlords to participate in a pilot of Boligmerket.
Boligmerket is a national label developed in collaboration between Norsk Eiendom, Leieboerforeningen, Nedenfra Ideelt AS and Pådriv Oslo.
The goal is to contribute to a safer, more transparent and more serious rental market. Through a self-declaration, you as a landlord can confirm that the property meets applicable laws and requirements.
The property label will contribute to:
Increased security for tenants
Recognition of serious landlords
Better living environment in the eastern part of the city
For landlords
What is Boligmerket? Boligmerket is a digital tool where you as a landlord fill out a self-declaration about the property's technical condition and living conditions. If the property meets the current requirements, it is awarded a digital Boligmerket-label.
