Maintenance and reporting damage
The landlord must fix faults in your flat and shared spaces. Report problems quickly and in writing — and never withhold rent on your own.
How to report
Report it (felanmälan)
Through the landlord’s website, app or phone. Urgent problems — water leaks, no heating, broken front door — use the emergency number.
Put it in writing
Keep a copy or screenshot with the date.
Follow up
If nothing happens, remind them in writing. You may be entitled to a rent reduction for the time the fault lasted — ask for it in writing.
You are responsible for damage you or your guests cause beyond normal wear. Report it honestly — your home insurance’s liability cover may help.
