Swedish Property Federation (Fastighetsägarna)
What does it mean?
Fastighetsägarna is the industry organization for Sweden's property owners with approximately 16,000 member companies. The organization represents private property owners — from individual landlords to large real estate companies. Fastighetsägarna negotiates rents with Hyresgästföreningen in the private housing stock and is thus a central player in rent setting.
For landlords, Fastighetsägarna offers legal advice, lease agreement templates, training, and support during rent negotiations. The organization is divided into regional associations (Stockholm, GFR, MittNord, Syd) that handle local matters. Fastighetsägarna also actively participates in housing policy and advocates for freer rent setting and better conditions for property owners.
