Welcome to Us

The Tenants' Association is Sweden's largest and fastest-growing grassroots movement with over half a million members, 8,000 elected representatives, and about 800 employees across Sweden. We address housing issues in both large and small ways - from extensive legislative changes to the small playground in the yard that needs renovation. We work for a safe home where people and society can develop. We do this by advocating for a society where everyone has the right to live, can afford to live, and has influence over their housing. In this way, we participate in societal development, drive progress, and take responsibility for it. With us, you have the opportunity to make an impact.

Together, we are proud to make a difference for tenants and rental rights. We have been doing this for over 100 years, and we will continue to do so for at least another 100 years.
