(edit title) Fixalya.se - Too good to be true? Anyone used this rental site before? Options

[Dcmcm]

Hi all,

I'm looking to find an apartment in Stockholm (I know, I know, another one of these threads )

After some hunting I came across fixalya.se from a blocket ad, they seem to have excellent apartments at cheap rates that don't expect to be let immediately (I will be moving over for the start of November).

Am I missing something? I can't find many references to them online, and none in English.

They have blocket adds and deadlines for application letters to the landlords, but it also mentions waiting lists and first-hand contracts...Renting a place in Sweden is too complicated!

As a brit coming over on a post-doctoral fellowship (if that matters) am I eligible to apply for these apartments?

Thanks for any clarification you can give me.

I have seen that, too, and am not sure.

What I have also noticed is there is a site called HyraLya.se. They seem to post the same cheap Södermalm flat every one or two weeks on Blocket. I assume that's just a bait for people to pay money for an actually pretty pointless website. I would just assume it won't be any different for FixaLya.se.
