Can I Rent Out a Furnished Apartment?

Complete guide to renting out furnished apartments in Sweden. Advantages, documentation, insurance, and pricing tips.

Advantages of Furnished Rentals

Furnished apartments are particularly attractive to:

  • International workers and students arriving in Sweden
  • People who need temporary housing between moves
  • Business travelers needing longer stays

Document the Furniture

When renting out furnished, it is important to document all furniture and their condition. Take photos and create an inventory list that you attach to the rental agreement.

Insurance
