Changelog

Every number on Lund's pages was being written the British way — kr 4,550 rather than 4 550 kr — because the site had no entry for Sweden and fell back to a UK default. Prices and figures now read the way they are written everywhere else you will see them, and the hand-written figures in the text were corrected to match in the same change.

Tick the warning signs BoPoolen publishes and the page says straight away whether to walk away, ask more, or carry on. Then pick which kind of place you have been offered and it works out the highest rent that ground allows — including the furnished supplement — and, where a sublet rent was too high, what the tribunal can order paid back. Nothing you type leaves your phone.

AF Bostäder's own published queue-time bands by room type — corridor room, studio, or a 2, 3 or 4-room apartment — with the buildings and seasons that run faster or slower.

Arrival Day (18 August) and most of Orientation Weeks are behind us, so the arrival guide no longer leads — swapped it for the Öresund trains alongside air & pollen.

LKP's fee to reclaim an impounded bike is 500 kr, not the 200 kr its own English pages still show — updated to match the current Swedish page and the figure already used in Arriving in Lund.

The fixed dates in Lund's calendar in one place: Valborg every 30 April, Kulturnatten each September, the Lund Fantastic Film Festival each autumn, and Lundakarnevalen once every four years (next expected 2030).

The kommun's own page still says the 27th recycling-centre visit costs 325 kr and that Lund has 13 återvinningsstationer. Avfallstaxa 2026, the binding document, says 375 kr, and the national dataset lists 16 stations. The new bins page uses the corrected figures and says where each came from.

Search your address and see the kärl Lunds renhållningsverk has on file for it, with the next emptying date for each, read live from the kommun's own service. The page also carries the four återvinningscentraler with their hours and the 26-visit rule, and the sixteen återvinningsstationer. The dates do not allow for röda dagar — the page says so next to them.

Today's air quality and, in season, birch and grass pollen — updated hourly from Open-Meteo.

The town page now opens with a drawing of the cathedral's twin sandstone towers above the red-tiled rooftops, seen across the trees of Lundagård with the Scanian plain running flat to the horizon behind.

Which train actually goes all the way to Copenhagen, which ticket covers a journey that changes country halfway, and what to carry: Sweden is running document checks at Hyllie until at least 11 November. Also the Metro catch — included on a single, not on a 30-day pass — and the government subsidy halving 30-day passes until the end of the year.

Both official housing windows for autumn 2026 have already closed, so the guide leads with what is still open — BoPoolen, LKF's free queue, late applications — and with BoPoolen's own six warning signs for rental scams, quoted. Then the personal number, the right to a basic bank account, the doctor, the bus, and how to buy a bicycle without accidentally buying a stolen one. Arrival Day is Tuesday 18 August.

Lund has been researched since this morning but could not go live: its cross-border transit tool used a kind whose code had never been merged. That is fixed, and Lund opens with three tools — an arrival guide written for the August intake, a tool for the everyday journey over the Öresund, and the list of who to call when something in your flat stops working.
