Many explosives in Sweden are directed at multi -family houses – both condominiums and rental properties.
But the strong property protection makes it difficult to throw criminal members out of a tenant -owner association, writes Dagens Nyheter.
During the latest wave of violence, with an average of explosive a day in January, many blasts have been directed at properties owned by tenant -owner associations, DN writes.
However, explosions and other acts of violence are not only directed at persons in the criminal environment – even relatives or relatives have been exposed. But excluding a criminal – or a person who could conceivably be a target for violence – from a tenant -owner association is difficult.
– You have a strong property protection as a tenant. The fact that someone is convicted of crimes that are not linked to the home, or has a relative who commits a crime is not enough to terminate someone from his home, says Ulrika Blomqvist, CEO and lawyer at the organization Housing rights, to DN.
It is also difficult to deny new members of a tenant -owner association.
– It is not enough that someone is just convicted of a crime. And to say no to someone whose relative is a criminal does not hold, says Ulrika Blomqvist.
Last year, the Riksdag decided on a tightening in the Tenancy Act that will make it easier for hosts to evict criminal tenants. But there is no equivalent when it comes to owners of condominiums.
In order for a tenant -owner to forfeit his tenancy right, when it comes to a crime, the apartment must be used entirely or to a substantial extent for criminal activities.
