Rent negotiation map
Sweden's annual collective bargaining on rent – follow developments on Hyran.ai
A large share of residential rents in Sweden are adjusted through collective bargaining on rent between landlords and tenant organisations. The Swedish Union of Tenants (Hyresgästföreningen) plays a dominant role on the tenant side. On the landlord side, many landlords are represented by the regional associations of Fastighetsägarna (the property owners' association), including Fastighetsägarna Stockholm, Fastighetsägarna GFR and Fastighetsägarna MittNord.
The negotiations concern the rent for each individual apartment, but are usually conducted collectively for:
- A property – the apartments in a given property.
- A portfolio – a landlord's properties in the locality.
- A negotiation portfolio – the portfolios of several property owners, negotiated jointly through a representative.
A representative may also negotiate separately for an individual property owner's portfolio. Results can therefore differ even within the same municipality.
