9 out of 10 subtenants pay too much rent

If you rent a second-hand apartment, or room, the risk is high that you pay too much in rent, so-called excess rent. As many as 90% of all subtenants in Sweden pay excess rent. According to Swedish law, you are not allowed to earn money by subletting your accommodation and therefore subtenants may be entitled to get money back.

High second-hand rents are a major social problem

The high rent levels in the second-hand market lead to financial consequences for the subtenant who spends a large part of his income on paying rent. Excess rents lead to a less well-functioning housing market, with long housing queues and increased insecurity in rental buildings as a result.

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.
