Rental Agreement

What is a rental agreement?

A rental agreement sets out the terms between a landlord and a tenant for the rental of premises such as a garage, storage unit, or other space. The agreement specifies the rent, rental period, notice period, and the rights and obligations of both parties. In Sweden, rental relationships are primarily governed by Chapter 12 of the Land Code (jordabalken). A written agreement protects both parties in the event of disputes and is required in many situations.
