But what does it cost, what rights do you have as a tenant, and how do you find apartments in Mora? ## What is short-term rental? Short-term rental is also called temporary rental or summer rental. According to Hyresgästföreningen, it is a rental where the tenant has a short agreement – often three months or less – that is not first-hand. It may be needed for vacation, exams or a temporary move. The difference from a regular condominium or first-hand contract is that you as a short-term tenant often have a more temporary agreement and may need to move out with shorter notice. ## Rental levels in Mora According to Hyresgästföreningen and Boverket's general guidelines for the rental market, the average price per square meter for short-term rental ranges from 80–130 SEK/m², depending on which part of Mora the apartment is located. Central areas near the city center often cost 100–130 SEK/m², while areas outside the city center may range from 80–95 SEK/m². A 30 m² apartment in central Mora can therefore cost 2,400–3,900 SEK per month for short-term rental. A larger apartment of 60 m² in the same area can amount to 4,800–7,800 SEK per month. The component for short-term rental is often 15–30 percent higher than regular rent due to administrative costs and deposit. Prices are also affected by the location in Mora. Apartments near Mora railway station, Mora folkhögskola or Mora city center often have higher rents than housing in the outskirts. If you are flexible with location, you can find cheaper options further from the center. ## Costs and deposits According to Chapter 5 of the Land Code, landlords in short-term rental can charge a deposit that is higher than normal rent. Usually a deposit of two to three months' rent is required, which can amount to 5,000–10,000 SEK before you can move in. The deposit is paid back when the agreement ends, provided that the apartment is in good condition and no damage has occurred. Besides rent and deposit, other costs may apply, such as administration fees or costs for electricity and heating if not included in the rent. Always ask the landlord what is included before you sign the contract, so you avoid unpleasant surprises later. ## Tenant rights According to the Land Code and Hyresgästföreningen, you as a tenant in short-term rental have the following rights: - Right to a home that is suitable and sustainable - Right to the rental agreement applying for the agreed period (minimum one week) - Right to a home with good conditions for electricity, heating and water But you also have limited rights compared to long-term tenants. Landlords may ask you to submit Hyresgästföreningen's form at contract signing. You have no automatic right to extend the agreement, and the landlord can terminate the agreement when the agreed period is over. ## Changing dates or leaving early According to Chapter 14 of the Land Code, a tenant can through agreement strengthen the landlord's right to require relocation. This means that landlords sometimes offer the opportunity to change dates or leave early – especially if they have another home that matches your needs. But if the contract is signed, a high fee or a debt of 5,000–15,000 SEK may be required depending on how early you leave. It is important to read through the agreement carefully before you sign, especially the points on notice period and what happens if you want to terminate the agreement early. ## How to find short-term rental in Mora 1. **Mora's rental market** – Mora municipality has a housing agency that often has available apartments with short-term contracts.
