Validation policy

How we validate ads at Hyrenbostad.se.

We make use of two different systems that minimise the risk of being exposed to false
advertisers. Primarily, we make use of an analytical program that reviews all ads, and
afterward, the ads are manually reviewed by one of our employees. When an ad has
successfully passed through these two steps, it gets approved and gets published on the
website. At the moment we can say with great confidence that we discover the majority of
the false advertisers. The false advertisers are blocked immediately after we have
discovered them. However, it happens that we overlook false advertisers, so it is important
that you always make use of your “common sense” when you are looking for a home.

Guidelines for validation of ads at Hyrenbostad.se:
All newly created rental ads at Hyrenbostad.se are reviewed and validated manually by an
employee before it gets published for other users to view at the website. When we
discover attempts of misuse and/or the creation of false ads we immediately delete the ad
and the landlord is blocked from using Hyrenbostad.se

When a landlord and/or an ad is created at Hyrenbostad.se we run an automatic check of
the landlord’s name, address, e-mail address, and phone number, as well as the address
of the rental accommodation. The ad cannot be created if these details are left out
Information that is uploaded at Hyrenbostad.se is saved for two years from the creation
date. The saved information includes the advertiser’s complete name, address, e-mail
address, phone number, and the rental accommodation. Moreover, certain technological
information about the user is saved, including IP-address(es)

A random sampling of at least two rental ads is conducted every day. These randomly
selected ads, as well as the dates of the controls, are noted in Hyrenbostad.se's database
so that the random sampling can be displayed at a later point in time
Automatic control of the square meter price in the area is conducted on all newly
conducted ads. If the square meter price of the rental accommodation is noticeably higher
or lower than other rental accommodations in the area, Hyrenbostad.se’s validation
system highlights this so that our employees are aware of it when the ads are manually
validated.

If you have come across a suspicious ad, we kindly ask you to send us the URL-link of the
ad so that we can review the ad and the landlord. If you have any questions regarding our
validation process you are welcome to write to our customer service.
