“The feeling in this group will be easy that their value is greatest if they disappear.

At worst, they are seen only as an unnecessary expenditure of the association. The so-called “residual tenants” who are not willing or able to participate in remodeling is a fairly large but forgotten group of at least 20 000 people only in the City of Stockholm since 1999.
– When the transformation is on average 23 percent residual tenants , ie they do not buy any condominium. But after ten years is not even half as many residual tenants remain in the houses, says Anders Loosme, who said no when his neighbors pushed through a reshuffle of Södermalm.
A study from Seco commissioned by Stockholm City Hall, show that discontent is often smoldering among the residual tenants after a reshuffle. Three years after demutualization perceive a very large proportion of these that the opportunities to change his apartment greatly deteriorated. Meanwhile, more than doubled the proportion of residual tenants who find it more difficult to report faults to the values after the conversion.
It is the classic Södermalm Address, in Mullvaden as Network December 15 meets up to dress the figures in words. Nowadays lies association premises in a house that used to be the public good, to rent on the ground floor of “Brf occupying power”. There are classic concerns that line up:
• Newly formed associations prioritises away apartment maintenance of tenants remain living. Public housing earlier promises freezing inside and sometimes replacing broken appliances only used.
• Many residual tenants feel left out of the new compounds. Sometimes the tenants’ information board down while traveling tenants do not have the right to know the neighbors who are in the same situation.

– The feeling in this group will be easy that their value is greatest if they disappear. It is especially the elderly, women and Payment weak in this group, says Mari-Ann Nilsson, who along with Anders Loosme and Ragnar von Malmborg is committed to arrest the tenants of Södermalm.
Their examples are numerous. The most repeated story is that is that the compounds are new, inexperienced landlords, often hampers apartment prey to prey Party defects.
– You find reasons when you see that the apartments represent many millions of dollars for unions if they are empty and can be sold as condominiums, says Anders Loosme, which will take another example, the public housing lease with social services were terminated by a newly formed Södermalm Association.
Under Network December 15 there are also cases where the compounds delayed or hampered the installation of aids for the disabled by making demands on the city of Stockholm for reinstatement.
– In one case, it ended with the City of Stockholm offered the change to special accommodation in Skärholmen, says Mari-Ann Nilsson.
The network view if they remain living tenants stands in contrast to the association flats are looking at the issue. The organization’s president Ulrika Blomqvist stresses that the ability to remain as a tenant means freedom of choice.
– Those who remain have both rights and obligations. It is not so as to have a worse legal position only to changing the landlord. As a tenant, you are protected by both the Rent Act and the rent setting system, and has also kept its exchange right. Anyone who does not want to stay with condominium always have the option to remain as a tenant.
If you sammantar both public utility and private hosts include ombildningarna in Stockholm city Since 1999, about 90 000 flats. At Stockholm rent tribunal confirms the rental Council Anne Bratt Norrevik that there is no grouping of the cases so that it is easy to follow up the group “residual tenants”.
– This is not the case group. At the same time we must note that it is not the usual landlords always trouble-free tenancies, said Anne Bratt Norrevik.
It is clear that the network 15 of December view is that ombildningarna “was painted up as a right to become condominium owners “while driving Stockholm Alliance ignored the fact that” a large group of tenants ended up on the pot edge. “
– We are traveling tenants is often a small minority. Where I live, we are only three, says Anders Loosme which advises that it can organize as a local club in Tenants Association where you live.
– Unfortunately, it is difficult for the weakest. They can not be bothered to form such groups, he said.
According to Network December 15 needed the special network of Södermalm because Hyresgästföreningen centrally found it difficult to handle the situation with many new condominium associations as landlords.
