The Swedish government has submitted a proposal to change rules on the subletting market. The changes would make it harder for housing cooperatives to refuse subletting requests, allow subletting for longer periods than today, and make rent-setting freer. Critics warn this could lead to higher rents, while others believe it will increase the number of apartments available.
Maria Björkander from Qasa says the proposal has the potential to lead to a fairly large increase.
