The tenant lost his apartment after a ruling in the rent tribunal but appealed and was allowed to stay while the apartment was completely renovated.
The Svea Court of Appeal has now decided the case.
This week came the final verdict which means that the tenant must move immediately.
- Now we will communicate with the tenant and see how long he has to move, but of course we will treat this quickly, says Jenny Tebäck who is communications manager at Rosengård fastigheter.
Neglected apartment
The Svea Court of Appeal states that the apartment has been neglected and that the tenant has breached his duty of care in connection with the apartment being left unattended for ten months.
Even if the landlord was right, Jenny Tebäck believes that no one is the winner in the case.
- It is a person who has lost his home.
But you have both rights and obligations as a tenant.
In this case, the supervisory assignment has failed, she says.
How does this affect the tenant's chances of getting accommodation with you in the future?
- Everyone can apply for our apartments via Boplats Syd.
But part of the search is housing references, and in this situation we are not a good reference, says Jenny Tebäck.
"The duty of supervision is not explained"
SVT Nyheter Skåne has been in contact with the tenant, who feels sad and disappointed after the verdict and therefore does not want to participate.
According to the tenant's legal representative, Mirjam Aboujaefari Annersten, the Svea Court of Appeal has not taken into account the tenant's age, state of health or the fact that the corona pandemic prevented him from returning to Sweden.
- The tenant also had no reason to assume that damage of this magnitude would occur.
The Court of Appeal has not explained what the duty of supervision entails, which is remarkable.
No one knows what caused the mold damage, and yet it is the tenant who becomes homeless, says Mirjam Aboujaefari Annersten.
