Why is it so hard to find a rental in Stockholm?
Stockholm’s housing market is one of the toughest in the country. The average waiting time for a direct lease via the Housing Agency is 9 years, and in popular areas, the wait can be even longer.
The subletting market is an alternative but often involves higher rent and insecure contracts. For those who want secure and long-term housing in Stockholm, a direct lease is the goal, and that is exactly what we offer.
