As a tenant in Sweden you may sometimes sublet or share your home with roommates. This guide explains the rules for subletting, the obligations of tenants and landlords, and how to handle common issues such as rent increases, repairs or termination. It covers practical steps for seeking permission, drafting a clear sublet agreement and documenting damage or missed maintenance. The information helps you understand your rights and what to do if a dispute arises in Sweden, and where to turn for help and formal applications. It is especially important to keep receipts, note dates for reports of defects and any responses from the landlord. If the matter escalates, the Rent Tribunal or the Enforcement Authority may become relevant.
