Swedish tenant indoor temperature rights
Overview
The Swedish Tenants' Association (Hyresgästföreningen) has issued guidance for renters regarding indoor temperature standards as autumn weather arrives. The association maintains that indoor temperatures should not fall below 20 degrees Celsius under normal conditions.
To address potential heating issues, the association advises tenants to document temperature readings in multiple rooms at various times and to look for drafts from windows, doors, or cold floors and walls. If temperatures remain below the threshold, landlords are expected to take corrective action. Tenants are encouraged to report issues in writing and, if unresolved, to contact the Tenants' Association or local environmental and health protection offices. Recommendations include keeping radiators unobstructed by furniture or curtains and ensuring ventilation is not blocked.
