A market rent means that the landlord himself decides the rent for an individual apartment, without any negotiation between the parties in the rental market.

So what are the pros and cons of having such a system?

Alrik Hafström is a lawyer at Fastighetsadvokaterna.

According to him, security is central to all parties in the question of whether the market rents are or are not.

- It is hoped that property owners feel secure in building to get the rent they feel they need. 

- If you want the tenancy to be an attractive form of housing, it is in the attractiveness that tenants feel safe and do not risk being forced to move if someone else is willing to pay more.
