The Tenants' Association is divided into nine regions across the country. The work and needs may look different depending on the geographical area. All regions coordinate the efforts needed for their respective region, and here all expertise is gathered in the form of lawyers, negotiators. As an organization, we are passionate about everyone having the right to good housing at a reasonable cost. Region Sydost is a workplace that spans 52 municipalities and six counties. We have just over 80,000 members and approx. 100 employees. We have a number of qualified professional groups, and our employees work independently with great responsibility and therefore have large development opportunities. Different professional groups often work together, as well as with elected representatives and in direct contact with members. This places demands on employees feeling like part of the whole in the organization and understanding the meaning of working in a grassroots movement.
