The rental apartment
Application of interest to a landlord, termination of the rental agreement and the question of an earlier end date.
Letter: Notice to end a tenancy To: The landlord, or whoever receives the rent on the landlord's behalf
The template is in Swedish because it goes to a Swedish recipient.
- Notice must be in writing if you have rented for longer than three months. Oral notice is only enough if the landlord gives you a written acknowledgement (12 kap. 8 § jordabalken (the Swedish Land Code)).
- Send it as a registered letter to the landlord's usual address. Notice is then deemed given when the letter was handed in for postal delivery (12 kap. 8 § fourth paragraph jordabalken). Keep the receipt.
- If you hand the letter in person or use the landlord's e-service or email: keep the landlord's written confirmation. It shows that the notice has arrived (our advice).
- If you rent from a private individual (sublet or private letting): the Private Letting Act (2026:772) applies to agreements from 1 July 2026. Under it, it is enough to send the notice to an email address the landlord has given for messages about the agreement (6 kap. 8 §).
- If two of you are on the contract: both sign (our advice).
- Use the calculator in the guide Notice period for an apartment to work out the day the agreement ends.
Email: Ask about an earlier end date To: The landlordour advice
The template is in Swedish because it goes to a Swedish recipient.
- The law gives no right to a shorter notice period. Count on the old date until you have a written answer.
- Once the apartment is available to let, you must let it be shown at a reasonable time (12 kap. 26 § jordabalken).
Letter: Cancellation of parking space, garage or warehouse To: The renter: the tenant, the association or the parking company
The template is in Swedish because it goes to a Swedish recipient.
- The notice of termination must be in writing if the rental period has lasted longer than three months (12 kap. 8 § jordabalken). For a parking space on land, which is a leasehold, it must be in writing if it is not acknowledged in writing (8 kap. 8 § jordabalken).
- If you rent both a home and a space from the same landlord, the space will expire according to Hyresgästföreningen (the Swedish Union of Tenants) when you terminate the rental apartment. Mention it in the termination of the rental apartment anyway, or send this letter at the same time (our advice).
- Read the agreement for the place: there the notice period is stated. If none is stated, nine months apply for garage and storage in a building (12 kap. 4 § jordabalken) and the day after 14 March closest after six months for a parking space on land (8 kap. 5 § jordabalken).
- If the landlord has an e-service for termination, use it and save the confirmation (our advice).
- If two of you are on the contract: both sign (our advice).
Email: Message to landlord: cohabitant moves in To: Landlordour advice
The template is in Swedish because it goes to a Swedish recipient.
- You do not need the landlord's permission to move in together and become cohabiting partners, but it is a good idea to inform the landlord so that the name is added (Hyresgästföreningen).
- The person moving in makes their own flyttanmälan (notification of change of address) to Skatteverket (the Swedish Tax Agency), before the move or at the latest one week after. Skatteverket can send a control question to you who already live at the address.
- The line about both being on the contract is a question, not a requirement. Remove it if you do not want it (our advice).
Email: Times for viewing of terminated rental apartment To: Landlordour advice
The template is in Swedish because it goes to a Swedish recipient.
- Once the apartment is available to let, you must let it be shown at a reasonable time (12 kap. 26 § jordabalken).
- The landlord needs a clear permit to enter with their own key. A note in the mailbox is not enough (Hyresgästföreningen). The choice in the template is your permit, or your no.
- The number of days in advance is not specified by law; write what suits you (our advice).
Email: Ask about earlier access or later move-out To: The new or the old landlordour advice
The template is in Swedish because it goes to a Swedish recipient.
- The law does not provide the right to earlier access or later move-out. Count on the date in the agreement until you have a written notification.
- The tenant must, according to Hyresgästföreningen, leave the apartment no later than 12:00 on the first day of the month after the rental period has expired. Ask the landlord what times apply to them.
- Strike the alternative in parentheses that does not apply.
Letter: Termination of rental contract in case of relocation to special accommodation To: The landlord, or the person receiving the rental on behalf of the landlord
The template is in Swedish because it goes to a Swedish recipient.
- The law does not provide for a shorter notice period when moving to special housing. The tenant can always terminate the agreement to the month change that comes earliest three months after the notice (12 kap. 5 § jordabalken). An earlier end date requires the landlord to agree to it.
- Familjebostäder and Poseidon in Gothenburg allow those moving to an elderly home to request a two-month notice period. Familjebostäder want a copy of the rental agreement for the elderly home with the notice and do not change the time afterwards. Ask your landlord what applies and send the documentation directly (our advice).
- The notice of termination must be in writing if the rental agreement has lasted longer than three months (12 kap. 8 § jordabalken). Send it by registered post, or use the landlord's e-service and save the confirmation.
- If several people are on the contract, all should terminate it, according to Poseidon. If only one of you is moving: talk to the landlord first (our advice).
- If a relative signs on behalf of the tenant: attach a written power of attorney (our advice). Ask the landlord if they have their own form for notice of termination with power of attorney.
- If the tenant has died before termination: then the estate can terminate with one month's notice within one month from the date of death (12 chap. 5 § second paragraph jordabalken). Use the template for the estate instead.
Letter: Request for changed rent to the landlord To: Your landlordour advice
The template is in Swedish because it goes to a Swedish recipient.
- The notification must be in writing, and you can apply to hyresnämnden at the earliest one month after the landlord received it (12 kap. 54 § jordabalken).
- Save a copy and proof that the landlord has received the letter, for example, an email response or a receipt for a registered letter. Hyresnämnden (the Regional Rent Tribunal) wants both (Sveriges Domstolar).
- If the rental agreement has a negotiation clause, the landlord and tenant organisation negotiate the rent. State in the application if the agreement has such a clause.
Letter: Notice of termination of student accommodation To: Landlord, for example SGS Studentbostäders customer service ([email protected])
The template is in Swedish because it goes to a Swedish recipient.
- SGS Studentbostäder: Cancel first in Boendeappen. If you can't, fill in SGS' cancellation form and email it to [email protected]. The template has the same information as the form. The notice period is stated in the agreement, 1 to 2 calendar months from the first day of the month after cancellation (sgs.se, read 5 October 2026).
- Chalmers Studentbostäder: cancel on Mina sidor under the Avtal tab. The notice period is at least seven weeks (chalmersstudentbostader.se, read 5 October 2026). The template is not needed there.
- Other landlord: the notice of termination must be in writing if you have rented for more than three months (12 kap. 8 § jordabalken). You can always terminate to a month change at the earliest three months after the notice of termination (12 kap. 5 §).
- Save the confirmation that the notice has been received (our advice).
Email: Application of interest to private landlord To: Rental with a private landlordour advice
The template is in Swedish because it goes to a Swedish recipient.
- The landlord sets the terms. Wallenstam, for example, requires a pre-tax annual income of at least three times the annual rent and does not accept applicants with payment remarks (Wallenstam, 5 October 2026). Read the requirements before you apply.
- If the landlord has their own queue, My pages or advertises via Boplats or HomeQ: register there. The email is a complement, not a replacement for the queue (our advice).
- Do not send personal identity numbers or certificates in regular email. Upload them where the landlord requests it (our advice).
- Never pay to get a contract. Anyone who demands or accepts special compensation for renting out a rental apartment can be sentenced to up to two years in prison (12 chap. 65 § jordabalken).
- The landlord's requirements must not be discriminatory. Age requirements are only allowed in category housing such as student, youth and senior housing (Boplats Väst).
Email: Request for refund of deposit To: Landlord you paid deposit toour advice
The template is in Swedish because it goes to a Swedish recipient.
- Neither 12 kap. jordabalken nor the Private Rental Act has any rules on deposits. What is stated in your rental agreement applies, so read the agreement first.
- Attach a copy of the receipt or transfer for the deposit and, if you have it, the protocol or pictures from the move-out inspection (our advice).
- Give the landlord a reasonable time to respond, for example two weeks (our advice).
- A claim for money due to the rental relationship must be brought to court within two years from when you left the apartment (12 kap. 61 § jordabalken, 7 kap. 1 § Private Rental Act).

- At a private care provider, the journal should be issued as soon as possible unless secrecy prevents it (8 chap. 2 § patient data law). At the region's care, the law on public access and secrecy applies.
- You can often read parts of the medical records yourself when you log in to 1177.se. The copy is mainly needed if the new clinic cannot see the medical records (our advice).
- Do not send personal identity numbers in regular email if the clinic has a secure message on 1177.se. Use it first (our advice).
Email: Request for certificate of social insurance from previous country To: Social insurance authority in the country you moved fromour advice

- You provide the information to Försäkringskassan in the e-service Submit information when moving to or working in Sweden, or on form 5456.
- Many countries have their own e-services or forms for the certificate. Search on the authority's website first and send the email if you can't find anything (our advice).

Document: Lodger contract To: The landlord and the lodger (two copies)
The template is in Swedish because it goes to a Swedish recipient.

Document: Rental contract for villa or row house (private rental) To: You and the tenant; you each keep one copyour advice
The template is in Swedish because it goes to a Swedish recipient.
- The Private Letting Act applies when a private individual or an estate of a deceased person rents out a house or part of a house as a home, for agreements from 1 July 2026. It does not apply if you regularly rent out more than two apartments outside your own home or if the rental is for recreational purposes (1 chap. 1 and 3 §§).

Separation and estate of a deceased person
Request for division of property when cohabiting partners move apart, and power of attorney and letters when someone has died: bank, insurance, subscriptions and home.
Document: Power of attorney for an heir of an estate of a deceased person To: The bank, insurance companies and others that the estate has contact with
The template is in Swedish because it goes to a Swedish recipient.
- You need the power of attorney when there are several estate beneficiaries and one person is going to handle the post, the bank and the contracts. All beneficiaries except the attorney sign, plus two witnesses. The template follows the content of Efterlevandeguiden's template.
- SEB: the witnesses must not be minors or estate beneficiaries. Länsförsäkringar: the power of attorney is sent as an original.
- If the attorney is to have access to information at Skatteverket, this must be stated explicitly in the power of attorney (Efterlevandeguiden).
- Several banks have their own forms and may require them. Ask the bank first.
- Do not assume that a power of attorney given by the deceased remains valid. Handelsbanken writes that such powers of attorney end at the death, Danske Bank that they are valid until a beneficiary revokes them.
Efterlevandeguiden's template: estate power of attorney, several principals (pdf)
Letter: Letter to the bank about a death and contact address for the estate of a deceased person To: The deceased person's bank (customer service or estate department)
The template is in Swedish because it goes to a Swedish recipient.
- The banks receive the information about the death from Skatteverket and send balance statements or capital and interest statements to the estate's address automatically (Swedbank, Handelsbanken, SEB, Danske Bank, Länsförsäkringar). The letter is needed to find out the bank's requirements and to get the post to the right person.
- Handelsbanken: a change of address in the bank's system requires a registered estate inventory or estate notification to be shown together with a written assignment from all estate beneficiaries at a meeting at the bank; anyone who cannot attend gives a power of attorney as an original. Mail forwarding is not enough if you want the bank to change the address.
- Swedbank: post from the bank goes to the estate's address at the time of death and can only be changed after the estate inventory is registered. Use mail forwarding in the meantime.
- Nordea: the death certificate can be sent in digitally in Avtal och meddelanden or handed in at a branch. It is registered within three banking days.
- Account statements: at Handelsbanken all estate beneficiaries are entitled to account statements for the period after the death against a death certificate with a family investigation or a registered estate inventory, on a visit to a branch.
- Send copies if the bank does not ask for originals.
Letter: Letter to an insurance company about a death To: Insurance companies where the deceased had home, car or personal insurance
The template is in Swedish because it goes to a Swedish recipient.
- Länsförsäkringar: personal insurance ends automatically. Home, boat and car insurance pass to the estate and must be cancelled; vehicle insurance runs until the vehicle changes owner.
- Länsförsäkringar: before the estate inventory, a death certificate with a family investigation is required, and a power of attorney if you are one of several beneficiaries or are not in the family investigation. After registration you send a copy of the estate inventory instead. Send copies, never originals.
- Do not cancel the home insurance until the home has been emptied and handed over (our advice).
Email: Cancelling or transferring electricity, broadband and subscriptions for an estate of a deceased person To: Electricity company, broadband and mobile operator, newspaper, association
The template is in Swedish because it goes to a Swedish recipient.
- Skatteverket: a death is normally grounds for ending a subscription without a notice period. You may need to end subscriptions and association memberships yourself.
- Efterlevandeguiden's checklist: end telephone subscriptions; cancel or transfer contracts for electricity, waste collection, internet and TV.
- Keep electricity and internet until the home has been emptied and inspected, if necessary (our advice).
- Direct debit does not end automatically. Stop it with the payee (Skatteverket, Handelsbanken, Länsförsäkringar).
Letter: Notice to end a rental apartment from an estate of a deceased person To: The landlord, or whoever receives the rent on the landlord's behalf
The template is in Swedish because it goes to a Swedish recipient.
- The shorter period only applies if the estate gives notice within one month of the death. The contract then ends at the end of the month that falls at the earliest one month after the notice. If you miss that month, three months apply (12 kap. 5 § jordabalken).
- Example: a death on 10 October 2026 and notice on 20 October means the contract ends on 30 November at the earliest. Notice on 12 November, after more than a month, gives three months, and the contract ends on 28 February 2027 at the earliest.
- If spouses or cohabiting partners rented the apartment together, the estate and the surviving partner give notice jointly, and both sign (12 kap. 5 §).
- If a spouse or cohabiting partner is going to stay, do not give notice. Read about transfer of the tenancy (12 kap. 33 §) and assignment to a close relative who lived there, which requires the permission of Hyresnämnden (12 kap. 34 §).
- The notice must be in writing (12 kap. 8 §). Send it by registered post and keep the receipt, or get written confirmation if you hand it in in person.
- All estate beneficiaries sign, or one beneficiary with a power of attorney from the others (18 kap. 1 § ärvdabalken (the Swedish Inheritance Code)). Attach the death certificate (our advice).
- The rent runs until the contract ends and is paid by the estate.
Email: Notice to the tenant-owner association about a death To: The board or manager of the tenant-owner association
The template is in Swedish because it goes to a Swedish recipient.
- The estate may keep the tenant-owned apartment without being a member of the association. Only three years after the death may the association demand an answer about the distribution of the estate or a sale (6 kap. 1 a § bostadsrättslagen).
- The estate pays the monthly fee. The banks pay the fee from the deceased's account against an invoice (Handelsbanken).
Letter: Request for division of property (cohabitant) To: The former cohabitantour advice
The template is in Swedish because it goes to a Swedish recipient.
- The request must be made no later than one year after the cohabitation relationship has ended (8 § sambolagen). It ends, among other things, when you move apart (2 §). If a cohabitant has died, the request must instead be made no later than when the estate inventory is made.
- The law does not say how the request should be made. Send it so that you can show that it has arrived, for example as a registered letter, and save a copy (our advice).
- If you want to take over a rental apartment or tenant-owned apartment that only the other has and that is not joint property, it is a separate claim according to Section 22 of the Cohabitation Act. It must be presented within one year, but no later than three months after you have left the home. Write it in the letter.
- The application is just the beginning. The actual division of property is done in a division of property document that you both sign (20 § sambolagen, 9 kap. 5 § äktenskapsbalken). If you do not agree, either of you can apply to the district court for a division of property agent (26 § sambolagen).
- The template applies to cohabitants. Married couples make a division of property according to the Marriage Code.

- Västsvenska Flyttbyrån writes that a boom key can make the difference between a 5 and 150 meter walking distance, and that their moving truck takes up two large or three small parking spaces.
- Flyttdax and Västsvenska Flyttbyrån do not move paint or gas, and petrol-driven tools must be empty. Ask your company what else applies and take care of it yourself.
Document: List of valuable and fragile items To: Removal company
The template is in Swedish because it goes to a Swedish recipient.
- Bohag 2010 point 4: the consumer should in their own interest make a list of particularly valuable or fragile items, such as paintings and antiques, with an estimated market value for each item.
- Particularly valuable is an item that can be assumed to be worth more than half a price base amount. Fragile are glass, porcelain, crystal, older items and electronics (Bohag 2010 point 4).
- If you have made an inventory, the company should check it when the assignment begins and when it is completed. If you have packed yourself, the check only applies to what is visible (Bohag 2010 point 3).
- Money, securities, jewellery, flammable substances, living animals and plants are not included in the assignment unless you have agreed on it (Bohag 2010 point 2). Write them down under what you drive yourself (our advice).

The template is in Swedish because it goes to a Swedish recipient.
- Complain as soon as you discover the fault and keep a copy (our advice).
- Konsumentverket: if the company can repair the damage, it should get the chance. Otherwise you can claim compensation for the repair, or for the value if the item is destroyed. You can withhold payment for faults in the service, but only the part that corresponds to the claim.
- If you cannot agree, you can report the matter to Allmänna reklamationsnämnden (ARN (the National Board for Consumer Disputes)). It costs 150 kronor according to Konsumentverket.
Email: Quote request: moving abroad To: The removal company

The template is in Swedish because it goes to a Swedish recipient.
- Registration of title must be applied for within three months of the purchase deed being drawn up (20 chap. 2 § jordabalken).
- Ask the bank or estate agent first. It is common for them to submit the application on behalf of the buyer, and two applications for the same purchase should be avoided (Lantmäteriet).
- The purchase deed must be signed on paper by the seller and buyer, and the seller's signature must be witnessed by two people. Electronic signing is not accepted for the purchase deed (Lantmäteriet).
- From 1 July 2026, the buyer must be specified with a Swedish personal identity number, coordination number or organisation number (Lantmäteriet).
- Lantmäteriet sends an invoice for the stamp duty and handling fee of 825 kronor when the matter is completed, with 30 days to pay.

Email: Before takeover: questions to the seller To: Seller, with copy to estate agentour advice
The template is in Swedish because it goes to a Swedish recipient.
- What is included in the purchase and the condition of the property is stated in the purchase contract. The email does not change the agreement; if you want to change something, for example the moving-in date, write a supplementary agreement with the help of the estate agent (Fastighetsmäklarinspektionen).
- The seller is responsible for the property until the day of moving in (4 kap. 11 § jordabalken). Read the meters and photograph the property when you receive the keys (our advice).
- If you discover a fault after moving in: notify the seller within a reasonable time after you have noticed it (4 kap. 19 a § jordabalken).
Email: Questions to the seller before purchase To: Seller, via estate agentour advice
The template is in Swedish because it goes to a Swedish recipient.
- When buying a house, you have a duty to investigate: you cannot complain about faults that you should have discovered during an investigation (4 kap. 19 § jordabalken). The answers do not replace the investigation.
- For a tenant-owned apartment, there is no inspection obligation in the Purchase Act, but if you have inspected the apartment or ignored the seller's request to do it, you cannot complain about what you should have noticed (20 § köplagen). Konsumentverket advises you to inspect anyway.
- Ask the questions in writing and save the answers. What the seller writes about the home can be important if a defect appears after the purchase (our advice).
- Go through the annual report when you buy a tenant-owned apartment, and ask for the apartment register to see if the tenant-owned apartment is pledged (Konsumentverket).
Letter: Application for membership in tenant-owned apartment association To: The board of the tenant-owned apartment associationour advice
The template is in Swedish because it goes to a Swedish recipient.
- The board decides whether you are accepted as a member, according to the statutes (2 chap. 1 § bostadsrättslagen). The statutes may require that the application is written and that your signature is witnessed. Read the statutes, or have two people witness for safety's sake.
- Often, the agent sends the application to the association together with the transfer agreement. Ask the agent before you send it yourself (our advice).
- You may not be denied membership if the conditions in the statutes are met and the association should reasonably accept you (2 chap. 3 §). Conditions regarding certain income, wealth or citizenship do not apply (2 chap. 2 §).
- If you are denied membership, the purchase becomes invalid (6 chap. 5 §). You can refer the matter to hyresnämnden within one month from when you received the decision (2 chap. 10 §).
How do the templates work?
Each template has placeholders in square brackets, for example [your name]. When you fill in the fields, they replace the placeholders in the text. If you have already entered your moving date, names and addresses in Your moving plan, they are filled in from the start. If you tick the box to save your details, they stay in this browser for the next template, and nowhere else. Without JavaScript you can download each template blank as Word or PDF and fill it in yourself.
The templates are our suggested wording. Where the law sets requirements, such as that a notice to terminate a tenancy must be in writing, the legal provision is given in the instructions under the template. The guides explain the rest: the rental apartment, subletting, separation and estate of a deceased person and change of address.
