When you rent an apartment in Sweden you sign a rental contract with the landlord. The contract is important, so read it carefully before you sign. The contract states how much rent you pay and when it is due. Usually rent is paid in advance, no later than the last weekday of the month. If you pay late you may get a reminder fee. It also states what is included in the rent. Sometimes heating and water are included, but electricity and internet you often pay yourself. Always ask if something is unclear. Another important point is the notice period. For an ordinary rental the notice period is three months. That means if you give notice on 10 April you must pay rent up to and including 31 July. The notice must be in writing. Send a letter or an email and keep a copy. When you move out the apartment must be cleaned. The landlord does an inspection and checks that nothing is broken. You do not have to pay for normal wear and tear, but you may have to pay for damage you have caused yourself.
