Why It Pays to Do It Right From the Start
A clear parking structure saves time, reduces conflict and increases revenue.
With digital tools, it’s easier than ever to:
- Keep track of permits
- Automate payments
- Prevent unauthorised parking
A well-organised parking system runs itself — a bad one runs you.
Step-by-Step: Parking Rental Checklist
1. Map Your Parking Spaces
- How many spaces do you have?
- Are they outdoor, garage, or covered?
- Any charging points, guest spots, or accessible spaces?
- Which areas do you own, and which are leased from others?
Create a master list with numbers, types and status.
That becomes the foundation of your system.
2. Define the Terms
- How long can a tenant rent the space?
- What’s the monthly price? (Typical range: 300–1,200 SEK depending on location)
- Does it include electricity, snow removal or charging?
- Can the tenant sublet the space?
Write everything down clearly.
Clarity prevents 9 out of 10 disputes.
3. Create a Parking Agreement
A proper parking contract should include:
- Rental period (fixed or ongoing)
- Termination notice (typically one month)
- Price and payment schedule
- Usage rules (no storage, repairs, or unauthorised vehicles)
- Responsibility for damage, snow clearing, and access
- Contact details for support or disputes
You can use templates — but always tailor them to your property, especially if you include EV charging.
4. Choose a Payment Method
- Digital payments via app or system (e.g. Parkit, EasyPark Business, Parkster)
- Autogiro or invoices for regular tenants
- Card or QR-code for temporary guests
Smooth payments mean less admin — and fewer late fees.
5. Manage Permits and Monitoring
- Use digital permits linked to licence plates.
- Optional but effective: install ANPR cameras for automatic verification.
- Set a clear routine for unauthorised parking — who’s responsible, what happens next?
Digital monitoring creates fairness and safety without feeling invasive.
6. Communicate With Tenants
- Send a welcome email with a map, rules, and contact info.
- Put up clear signs at entry points and parking areas.
- Notify tenants early about maintenance, snow removal or changes.
An informed tenant is a satisfied tenant.
7. Safety and Insurance
- Make sure the area is well-lit and clearly marked.
- Check your insurance coverage — extend it if needed.
- Clarify that parking is at the tenant’s own risk, but avoid unreasonable disclaimers.
Safety builds trust — both ways.
8. Go Digital
Use a digital parking management system (like Parkit) to:
- Create and end permits with one click
- Track occupancy and usage
- Automate payments
- Cut administration drastically
When the paperwork disappears, so does most of the stress.
9. Manage EV Charging Correctly
If you offer charging points:
- Clarify whether electricity is included or billed separately (usually via a charging system).
- Specify time limits for charging sessions.
- Ensure load balancing if multiple chargers are installed.
EV charging is an attractive benefit — but also a responsibility.
10. Review and Improve
- Review occupancy and income 1–2 times a year.
- Collect feedback from tenants.
- Adjust pricing or rules as needed.
A good parking system is never “finished” — it evolves with your property.
Example: Housing Association With 40 Spaces
Before: handwritten lists, manual payments, 2–3 parking disputes per week.
After implementing Parkit: digital permits, automatic payments, 0–1 issues per month.
Results:
- 90% less administration
- 100% more control
- 30% faster payments
An organised parking system pays for itself — often literally.
