Hälsoskyddstillsyn på bostäder som hyrs ut till nyanlända / Public health supervision on apartments that are rented to persons who have a residence permit (previous asylum seekers)

The aim of this study is to map the municipalities’ public health supervision regarding apartments which is rent to persons who have a residence permit (previous asylum seekers). Municipalities were selected by using statistics over numbers of residence permit which were obtained from the Swedish Migration Agency. To find out how the municipalities works with supervision on this type of apartments, a survey was sent to the concerned municipalities. The result of the study was that 8 of 64 municipalities operate supervision on this type of apartments. To operate this kind of public health supervision the municipalities can e.g. use The Public Health Agency of Sweden’s supervisory guidance as a tool. Even though there are supervisory guidance, which can be used to operate public health supervision, there were municipalities who considered it insufficient.Which may be due to the fact that The Public Health Agency of Sweden does not have a specific supervisory guidance for apartments which is rent to persons who have a residence permit (previous asylum seekers). To make public health supervision on this type of apartments more efficient, the municipalities should cooperate with stakeholders e.g. Social Services Department and the Swedish Migration Agency to easily find this type of apartments. To make the supervision more effective, one can look after the good examples like the eight municipalities, among other things like send out letter with a prebooked date and the aim of the supervision to the real estate owner, operate supervision in project form, using checklist when operating supervision.
