What to know before you rent
- Leases
- Private individuals renting out their own home (e.g. a condo or house) fall under the Act on Letting Your Own Home, which lets the rent cover the property's capital and running costs rather than the regulated utility-value rent. (source, 2026)
- Tenant rights
- A tenant with a first-hand rental contract (hyresratt) needs written consent from the landlord or the regional rent tribunal (hyresnamnden) to sublet; tribunal permission is usually given for at most one year at a time and rarely beyond three years in total. (source, 2026)
