Being a tenant:July 18th, 2011
FiledJuly 18th, 2011Bostadsregistret.se and Swedes in general use the terms first hand contract and second hand contract. A first hand contract is an agreement written by a landlord or property owner and signed by a tenant, who in turn may rent out their apartment or house, having a new tenant sign a second hand contract. In other words, if you have a first-hand contract, you are a regular tenant, but if you have a second hand contract, the holder of the first-hand contract is the actual tenant but acts as your landlord. Second hand contracts are generally only valid for a specific period of time, whereas first hand contracts are valid indefinitely.
