Housing reforms stoke debate

A new government report has suggested controversial changes to the rules governing residential rental properties in Sweden.


Among other things, the report suggests that supply and demand play a role in setting rents in Sweden, and that public municipal housing companies shouldn’t have control over the rents set by private housing companies.

Market rated rents should be the obvious way to go. Today an apartement in the suburbs cost's as much as the more atractive apartements in the inner city. This is one of the last bastions of the social democracy that has to fall!
