@@chairmanofrussia The basic idea is that there is a cap of how much you are allowed to charge for rentals, which differ depending on the type of rental and if you are a private induvidual or business (basically renting out more than 3 rentals). Hyresrätt is the most common and cheap one. In Stockholm most landlords only chose to rent out hyresrätter via Bostadsförmedlingen. That is where you queue up if you want to rent an apartment. Then when applying for a specific rental the person with the longest queue time gets the apartment. Landlords don't have to go through Bostadsförmedlingen, although it's basically impossible to get those rentals without contacts (I was lucky enough for my dad to know someone). There are illegal black market deals where you buy a contract, although it's becoming less and less common. You'd be expected to pay around 10 000 kr/M^2 in central Stockholm. The other option is to rent a bostadsrätt privately or buy it, although they can get a lot more expensive. E.g. my apartments rent would be about twice as much. The reason for the price difference is because the price for hyresrätter is based on standard, quality and service, but not on location. So an apartment in central Stockholm could cost just as much as a similar one in the middle of nowhere. While for a bostadsrätt you set the price based on capital and operating cost, and due to the high market prices in Stockholm the capital cost drives the rent up a lot. To sum it up if you move to Stockholm; your best bet is to rent privately or buy an apartment. When you have a Swedish social security number (or you are a student) you can queue up in bostadskön, and within a year you can expect to find a hyresrätt outside of Stockholm. It can take over 20 years to get a good one in central Stockholm though. This was a lot longer than I expected, even though I skipped over so much.

If you have anymore to tell me, please do. I could talk about this all day. So if I want to have an apartment in the center (Kungsholmen, Vasastan, Normalm, Gamla Stan, Södermalm etc.) in a reasonable timeframe (1-5 years), I basically have save up for a down payment and a mortgage? (I hope Swedish banks are willing to lend to foreigners like me.) If I have the money, can I then move to one of those neighborhoods without having to wait a quarter of a lifetime? Or do I still have to waitlist? I also heard somewhere that most rental contracts in Sweden aren’t always renewable, is that true when renting privately? Because I don’t see the point in paying more if I have to move out in 9 months. If not, can you tell me a little bit more about böstadsratt? And my god, the 200,000 people living in central Stockholm are so lucky, especially the ones living in Östermalm. I envy you so much, living in Södermalm. And again, thank you for your time.

@@chairmanofrussia Yeah, if you want an apartment in a reasonable time frame you'll have to either buy one (around 100 000 kr/m^2 in central Stockholm, with a down payment of 15%) or rent a bostadsrätt. There is no wait list for that. For hyresrätter there is no time limit on the contract. If you rent a bostadsrätt it's up to the contract you sign though. You either rent "until further notice", which can be terminated by the landlord after 3 months for any reason (can be longer if stated in the contract but not shorter), or you rent for a specified period after which the contract need to be renewed.

Because it is hard to speak in front of a camera for a long time without stuttering or making mistakes.

But MTA def has SM BEAT
@BinaryzeroNYC3 жыл бұрын
Ummm....no? NYC MTA is very effective...I live past bed stuy in Brooklyn, I end up in HARLEM 125 in 40 min.... That's about 2 miles further then what you just showed us... I can go to Boston in 3.2 hours, Philly in 5. Albeit, our metro is nowhere near as reliable....sorry but NYC has stock beat....in every area....out winters are nicer, our summers you can actually SURF without a wet suit....btw I'm from north Germany. NYC ...I love it but HATE the hood people. Btw NYC is the safest city of it's size we're also very clean (since covid is gotten worse I admit )
