Gothenburg Landlord Ordered to Repay $4,800 After Overcharging Tenant

The Swedish Rent Tribunal ordered a woman in Gothenburg to repay $4,800 after she overcharged a tenant for 13 months.The landlord attempted to hide the inflated $1,000 monthly rent by instructing the tenant to label bank transfers with misleading terms like "sofa" or "car rental."This ruling follows the discovery that the woman was subletting the apartment without permission while actually residing in a neighboring municipality.
