Subletting Agreement

What is a subletting agreement?

A subletting agreement governs the relationship between a primary tenant and a subtenant when renting out an apartment second-hand. The agreement is based on Chapter 12, Sections 39–40 of the Swedish Land Code and normally requires approval from the landlord or the Rent Tribunal. It specifies the rent, rental period, furnishings, and responsibility for the property's condition. A written agreement protects both parties and is often required by the landlord.

• You are subletting your apartment while you are away

• You need to document furnishings, inventory, and deposit terms

What does the agreement include?

• Details of the primary tenant and subtenant

Frequently asked questions

Do I need approval to sublet?

What is the difference between the subletting and rental agreements?

The subletting agreement is specifically designed for second-hand residential rentals with clauses for inventory, condition, and approval. The rental agreement is better suited for garages, storage, and premises.
