SFS rejects the proposals. SFS wants to point out that students have a greater need for work peace compared to other groups. It is common to…

SFS supports the proposal to introduce a legally regulated system for a deposit as security for a rental agreement to be fulfilled in the case of private rental of housing.

SFS's view is that it is already relatively common for the lessor to request a deposit for private rentals and subletting. It is positive that a secure system for handling the deposit is being introduced.

SFS is generally negative about the deteriorations in terms of the requirements for the new construction of student housing proposed in the referral.

SFS proposes a change in requirements for openable doors and balconies. SFS otherwise has no views on the proposals in this referral.

SFS is generally positive about the proposals. SFS is above all positive that, with the proposal, second-hand tenants can check whether the home is a tenancy, as tenant-owners have different rules regarding what rent can be charged (something that the investigation addresses on page 260). If information about the primary tenant is entered in the register, it will also be possible to check who can actually rent out the apartment, which reduces the risk of fraud. An estimated 50.000 students live second-hand.

However, SFS has certain objections to parts of the inquiry's proposal.
