Hembla is Stockholm's largest private landlord and owns approximately 12,600 apartments. We meet the tenant association's lawyer Bengt Öhman in one of the housing company's areas in Husby.

- Since Hembla took over the properties here, maintenance has gone down. You just do these one-piece renovations and raise rents significantly.

Bengt Öhman compares the properties with those located on the other side of the street, and was built the same year, but owned by the public housing company Swedish housing.

- It's a huge difference, it's almost like entering another world. And then they also pay lower rent across the street.

Hembla: Did not work optimally

Hembla's communications manager, Jonatan Öhman, says that many of their properties have a maintenance debt that they are working to catch up with.

- Since then, we have made some efforts in our administration, it has not worked optimally, so that is probably what is reflected in the figures.

What is not working optimally?

- In many cases, it is communication with tenants, accessibility and, not least, to work structured to ensure that things do not remain as open cases. There we are constantly working to improve.

Working on informing

Where real estate sales are concerned, the Tenants' Association will inform tenants and politicians about what happens when Hembla buys. Bengt Öhman says that they worked very actively with this in a residential area north of Stockholm.

- That particular area was not actually sold to Hembla. We do not know exactly if our work affected but we believe it.
