Alcuni consigli che mi ha dato la mia università:
Second-Hand Lease (Andrahandskontrakt)
A second-hand lease, or subletting, means that you rent
your fl at through the holder of fi rst-hand lease. You do
not have the right to keep the fl at for as long as you like.
You can usually stay up to two years. There are both
legal and illegal second-hand leases. For a second-hand
lease to be legitimate, the landlord must consent. Make
sure you do not pay too much rent and that you sign a
contract. Just because you rent someone else’s cooperative
or building society fl at (bostadsrätt), it does not
mean that you can be charged any amount.
Third-hand Lease (Tredjehandskontrakt)
Third-hand leases are often illegal. A holder of a secondhand
lease is not permitted to let out an apartment
unless the landlord approves of it. Make sure that the
landlord has approved, or you may be thrown out without
notice since you are virtually without rights. Avoid
third-hand leases if possible.
Write a Contract
The contract should say how long you can live in the fl at,
how much you are to pay in rent, and the appropriate
ways in which the contract can be terminated. At www.jagvillhabostad.nu/letabostad you will find a contract to
download or copy (in Swedish).
Never Pay Rent In Advance
Do not pay rent in advance if you have not received a
(functioning) key or signed a binding contract, unless
you absolutely trust the person from whom you are letting.
Make sure to get a receipt that proves that you have
paid. A handwritten paper with signatures is enough.
