House rules
THE COOPERATIVE'S
A GREETING FROM THE BOARD
We all have the privilege of living in a really nice tenant-owner association. In order for us all to thrive and feel good here, we have 14 important rules of conduct that we must all follow. Together we make our accommodation a place where everyone can enjoy themselves!
Heartfelt greetings,
The board at Brf Herrgårdsparken
July 2020
General Care
We care for our beaufiful house and take great care with common areas and property. All of us get to pay for anything that breaks outside of our appartments, that's why it's important to keep eberything up to date.
Should something happen on your watch please contact the board or property management company.
Only the board can order maintenance and repairs.
Safety is everything
Check that the outer door always locks after you have passed. Do not let anyone in that you do not know. Ask them to call the person they are going to visit via the intercom.
If you are traveling and will be away for a longer period of time, please let the board and neighbors know.
Everybody pays
Remember to be frugal with water and especially hot water.
Replace gasket on dripping taps.
Balcony and patio
For everyone's comfort, we do not use the balcony or patio as an extra storage for storage.
We must not have things on the balcony that should not normally be there, such as winter tires, bicycles, boxes, etc.
We are also not allowed to shake carpets from the balcony or patio with regard to our neighbors.
Flower boxes are always hung on the inside of the balcony railing.
No Smoking
Smoking is prohibited in all our common areas. We show consideration for each other because many are sensitive to cigarette smoke. Common areas also mean all entrances. Please step a few meters away from the building to smoke.
For safety reasons, it is forbidden to throw cigarette butts out through windows, balconies or patios.
Grilling
You may only use electric and gas grills on your balcony or patio.
Feeding of birds
Although birds are nice to look at, we do not feed them within our property because remnants of bird food attract pests.
Bikes and prams
We have great bicycle storage and several bicycle racks outside the gates.
In addition, we have pram storage in all entrances. Children's bicycles up to seven years old, or where the tire size is up to 12 inches, can also be stored in our pram storage. All other toys can be stored in your apartment.
Ask the board if you are unsure of what applies.
The Recycling station
We are very careful about how we sort inside our environmental station. Because we care about the environment, we have camera surveillance and charge SEK 1,000 for breaches of rules regarding sorting. Everything you are unsure of how to sort, you must take to a larger environmental station.

Satellite dishes
It is not permitted to set up / mount satellite dish antennas on either the facade, balcony railing, door frames or in the ceiling above your balcony.
The dish must not protrude beyond your balcony railing.
Show consideration
Avoid loud noices in the apartment, entrances and stairwells. It is extra important that it is quiet between 22 PM and 07:00 AM.
If you need to drill, nail or saw, you do it on weekdays between 07 - 20:00 or public holidays 10-18: 00. It's always fun to party, but feel free to put up a note and inform your neighbors in advance.
The law looks very strictly at disturbances and in the worst case you can be evicted.
Sublease
You must contact the board if you're going to sublet the apartment.
Flat maintenance
We are responsible for the maintenance of our apartments. If something breaks, we are responsible for material and repair costs. Therefore, it is important to keep an extra eye on wet areas so that nothing starts to leak. This can incur huge costs.
Renovations
Minor changes can be made in your apartment. For example, laying new floors, setting up new cabinets or replacing appliances in the kitchen. But if you want to make major changes, you need permission from the board. Examples of major changes are taking down a wall or pulling new pipes in kitchens and bathrooms. Sometimes even a building registration is needed.
Always contact the board before you start.
Grease
Never rinse grease in the sink. The grease gets out in the pipes and builds concrete-hard lumps that cause plumming issues.
Before washing the frying pan, wipe it off with kitchen paper and place the paper in the food waste bag.
Pour the remaining oil from what you have fried in a pet-bottle and throw it in the food waste rubbish, or leave it at an environmental station.
