Due to the housing crisis in Sweden, tenants are forced to lease apartments for an illegally high fee. That's money that goes straight into landlord's pockets.
According to Swedish Law, leasing out apartments to excess rent is illegal.
If you have been paying rent that is higher than the actual fee for the apartment you have a legal right to reclaim your money.
You can still get your rent refunded even if you're not a Swedish citizen.
That is why we founded Orimlig Hyra. Since 2017, we have fought to help you get your money back. We have helped over 300 people get back money that is rightfully theirs.
In 2022, we reimbursed more than 4 000 000 SEK to second-hand tenants who had paid too much rent.
Very happy! Fast help, nice manager, serious and easy process. Got the money just a few days after they had approved my case. Would not have been able to go through this process without Orimlig Hyra. Thanks so much for your help!!
Quick and easy. Submitted the application on a Tuesday and received money on Thursday. Incredibly helpful and really quick to answer any questions I had. If you have reason to claim back excess rent, I highly recommend this service!
Orimlig Hyra is a swedish company that, through automated digital processes, helps subtenants get money back for their excess rent.
Orimlig Hyra does this by in advance paying a claim value to the subtenant for the excess rent they've paid. Orimlig Hyra then pursues that matter (completely without involving the applicant) and retains any profit.
Excess rent means a rent that is too high – an unreasonable rent. The legal term for this is excess rent.
The rule of thumb is that an unreasonable rent is a rent that is higher than the main rent for the same apartment. You can calculate if you pay an excess rent by using our rent calculator on the homepage.
You find out by comparing your rent against what the main tenant pays in rent including any surcharges for utilities such as electricity and internet.

We receive your application through our web form and ensure that your information is correct and that a claim can be directed toward your landlord. In the web form, you sign an engagement letter and a transfer agreement through BankID.
Orimlig Hyra then pays out an amount to you and pursues the matter. In order to make the service as smooth as possible, the procedure takes place without you being involved. As soon as you have received your money you do not need to do anything more in the matter.
It does not cost anything to use our services. We pay a certain amount to purchase your claim. This means that we repay your excess rent within 48 hours and then pursue the matter on our own without involving you as a customer. If you apply for repayment through Orimlig Hyra you receive on average 20% more money back than if you were to pursue the matter on your own. Regardless of whether Orimlig Hyra "wins" in the Regional Rent and Tenancies Tribunal or not, you as a customer keep your repayment.
Say hi to one of our clients who got her money back after paying too much rent. It is illegal to pay a higher rent for a second-hand contract than what the landlord is paying himself. According to Swedish law, tenants can reclaim that money back.
