Yes, in most cases, the building where you rent a room in Malmö has access to a shared laundry room, which is standard in Swedish apartment buildings. The laundry room is usually equipped with several washing machines, tumble dryers, and sometimes drying cabinets, and is used through a booking system.

In some homes, especially smaller houses or newer properties, a washing machine may be located directly in the home, but this is less common when renting a room.

When renting a room in Malmö, it is therefore important to check the listing to see whether a laundry room is included and how its use works (in most cases free of charge; in some buildings a fee may apply, usually around 20–50 kr per wash), so you can accurately estimate your monthly costs.

- Unfurnished: less common but may be available with longer contracts; offers more freedom to furnish the space yourself and can be more cost-effective over time, but requires your own furniture.
