Now you know that it is hard to find a sublet in Sweden . But, on a positive note once you have found a sublet, the law is on your side. Swedish rental law is written in order to protect the tenant. For instance, a tenant is not bound by the lease term. So, if your circumstances change and you have entered a 2 year lease it does not matter since you can give notification on a three month basis at any time. Pretty crazy.
Here is more information about giving notice on Swedish rental contracts: ease agreements that have a fixed period only or with continuation bind the landlord to the initial period. A tenant always has the right to give notice three months from the last day of the month the notice was served. This right applies irrespective of other terms of the contract and cannot be changed.
The landlord can always relinquish their right of the notice period and thus can allow the tenant to be released from the agreement prior to the end of the notice period. The agreement can state a longer notice period, but then it only applies to the landlord, also, if the agreement states a shorter notice period it only applies to the tenant.
If a contract of a set term lacks clauses regulating the termination of the lease agreement the lease automatically becomes an open-ended agreement, as well as if the tenant remains in the home for a month after the end of the rental period of a fixed term agreement.
There may be special circumstances when the agreement is terminated prematurely by either party. Such cases include damages or deficiencies of the home that renders it unsuitable to live in and if the tenant severly breaches the contract (sever disruptions in rental payments, severe ignorance of rules and regulations, etc.). These notices of cancellations are regulated by law, when, why and how they may be served. To read more about rental laws in Sweden, click here.
