Norway

Norway’s rental market is relatively small but important for young adults, migrants, and students. High homeownership and rising housing prices limit access to ownership, increasing demand for rentals in cities like Oslo. The market is largely private, with moderate tenant protections and growing affordability concerns in urban areas.
