What Rent Can You Charge?

Determining the right rent can feel like a puzzle—and it’s the most common question we receive when someone lists their property. The law provides guidance, so let’s start there.

1. You Own the Property Privately (Not a Company)

• Maximum Rent = 4% of the Market Value
  – Plus any homeowners’ association or condo fees.

• In practice, we often see that this legally allowed rent is higher than actual market rates.

• 🔍 See current average rents for similar properties in your area: Latest stats here.

2. You’re Renting Out a Leasehold (“Hyresrätt”) in Second Hand

• Maximum Rent = Your Own Rent + 10–15% (if Furnished)
  – If unfurnished, you can only charge what you pay to the landlord.

3. You Own the Property through a Company, or You Rent Out Multiple Units

This category is trickier—under the law, your property is treated like a leasehold.

• Maximum Rent = What a Comparable Leasehold Costs in the Area
  – You cannot charge 4% of market value. You must follow local comparable rent levels.

Summary

1. Privately Owned Home
   – 4% of market value + fees.

2. Second-Hand Leasehold
   – Your rent + 10–15% if furnished.

3. Company-Owned or Multiple Units
   – Rent must match local leasehold rates.
