Is this a legal limitation or a cultural tendency?
- teddyh 5y agoNot specific to Sweden, but, to paraphrase myself¹: A landlord will need a single legal person to be responsible for the paying of the rent, and own the lease. Most individuals will not have anything close to the sort of documented income or credit history to make any sensible landlord agree to the lease. “My friends will totally chip in to pay the rent!” is just not going to work. 1. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6383809 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6383809
