Host Paul O’Mahony is joined by regular panelists Becky Waterton and Richard Orange. The episode also features a chat Richard had recently with Roland Sjölin, a lawyer for Hyresgästföreningen, the Swedish Tenants Association.

They discuss what you need to know if you think you’ve been overcharged by a landlord and you want to claim your money back, the rules for renting out your home if you own your own place in Sweden and, more generally, how to get your hands on a rental home in Sweden.
