The newspaper Hem och hyra has previously reported that landlord Kupolen AB mismanaged its properties and named it one of Sweden's worst landlords in 2025. Landlord Kupolen AB has gone bankrupt, with a debt of 190 million kronor, according to major media. A meeting was held at the central school in Perstorp on Monday evening to inform tenants about the situation, with bankruptcy administrator Christian Andersch present.
Perstorp is one of the poorest municipalities in the country. It is sad when tenants end up in such a situation. It becomes very heavy for them.
Christian Andersch will try to sell all properties to someone who wants to take over operations, according to major media. Tenants can stay but are likely to lose their deposits, as they are unsecured creditors, like electricians or plumbers, according to major media. The landlord collected deposits together with rents, mixing them with the company's other finances, according to major media.
Anna Hansson paid 19,500 kronor in deposit, according to major media. Johan Perup, a lawyer for the tenants' association, led the information meeting. Perstorp is one of the poorest municipalities in the country, according to major media.
The specific health issues caused by the mold and how many tenants are affected remain unclear, as does the timeline for selling the properties and resolving the situation.
