Sweden

In Sweden, we have one member organisation. Contact information can be found below. Sweden’s rental housing system combines regulated rents with a large municipal housing sector. However, long waiting lists for rent-controlled apartments push many households into a more expensive secondary market. Supply shortages in major cities and debates over rent regulation continue to shape housing policy discussions.

A closer look

For an in-depth understanding of the national housing market, member organizations were given the opportunity to provide an overview of the housing situation ahead of the World Conference in 2026. Access it here:
