Säkra hyresrätten - Lagförslag om kommunal reglering av upplåtelseformen för bostäder

Sammanfattning: The Swedish housing market faces a number of concerns. There are too few rental units with cheap rent available and the capital input to buy your own freehold title or tenant-ownership is skyrocketing. The threshold for entering the housing market is getting higher and groups such as young adults, new arrivals, disabled people, and the elderly are the ones who are the most exposed. Developers get a bigger profit if they choose tenant-ownership instead of tenancy while municipalities have no coercive means to get the developer to choose tenancy. There are different methods in Sweden for trying to control the form of tenure, the most common are additional payment, site leasehold and price differencing land allocation agreement. It is the municipality's ultimate responsibility to provide its residents with good housing to live and reside in, according to the Act on the Housing Supply Responsibility of Municipalities. The Ministry of Enterprise and Innovation made a report in 2018 about giving municipalities a tool to decide the housing tenure for properties that the municipality directly or indirectly owns. It´s a draft legislation that would facilitate the management of the form of tenure and stops future undesirable re-formations. This thesis is about this state public inquiry and a compilation of the referral responses received. Of all referral bodies were 56 % in favor of the draft legislation and 23 % were negative. On top of that, it emerged that as many as 59 % agreed with the report that the form of tenure should not be regulated in the detailed plan, and only 2 % that thought that was the solution. The housing market is complicated and based on many different factors. There is no easy solution to the situation, but it is possible to make our country a little better today than it was yesterday.
