The future regulation of dispute resolution procedures

The plan is based on keeping rents down through the collective bargaining model together with the tenant movement, and the party stopped market rents precisely to protect that arrangement. Greater state intervention in the value-in-use assessment risks moving power away from the parties. The counter-proposal's line that the parties should handle the value-in-use and legislation is limited to mediation therefore aligns with the plan.

• no to market rentsdecisive»Vänsterpartiet drog upp en gräns och stoppade marknadshyrorna sommaren 2021.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The Left Party drew a line and stopped market rents in the summer of 2021.”
• tenant movement's bargaining power»Efter att Vänsterpartiet tagit och vunnit fajten om att stoppa marknadshyrorna tillsammans med Hyresgästföreningen och en bred massiv rörelse är det tid för nästa steg.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“After the Left Party taking and winning the fight to stop market rents together with the Tenant Association and a broad massive movement, it is time for the next step.”
• rents should not be raised»hyresgäster krävs på allt högre hyror« (2022 manifesto ↗)“tenants are being charged increasingly higher rents”
• strengthened housing influence»stärkt boendeinflytande och delaktighet ska främjas« (party programme ↗)“strengthened housing influence and participation shall be promoted”

The plan does not address dispute resolution procedures, but is based throughout on trust in the parties' negotiations and on increased influence for residents. Public housing enterprises and collective agreements are the plan's tools for reasonable rents, which suggests that the use-value question is handled by the parties with legislation limited to mediation. Security is low because the conclusion is derived.

• residents' influencedecisive»De boendes inflytande över sin bostad och sitt bostadsområde ska öka.« (party programme ↗)“Residents' influence over their home and residential area shall increase.”
• trust in the parties»tror på parternas förmåga att ta ansvar för lönebildningen« (2022 manifesto ↗)“believe in the parties' ability to take responsibility for wage formation”
• public housing keeps rents down»Starka allmännyttiga och kooperativa företag är nödvändiga för att för att hålla nere boendekostnaderna och för att motverka segregation.« (party programme ↗)“Strong public housing enterprises and cooperative enterprises are necessary to keep housing costs down and to prevent segregation.”
• negotiation model's legitimacy»Kollektivavtal är en nödvändig förutsättning för legitimiteten i arbetslivets spelregler och för arbetsfreden.« (party programme ↗)“Collective agreements are a necessary precondition for legitimacy in the rules of working life and for labour peace.”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The party programme asserts that it is particularly important to protect the right to rent and regulation of the rental market, and that new models for rent-setting have created difficulties for people to find housing. The election manifesto furthermore wishes to strengthen tenants' position. The counter-proposal wishes instead to leave the issue of fair rental value to the parties and limit legislation to mediation, which goes against the plan's line on regulation for tenants' protection.

• regulated rental marketdecisive»det särskilt viktigt att värna hyresrätten och en« (party programme ↗)“it is particularly important to protect the right to rent and”
• criticism of free rent-setting»Nya mod- eller för hyressättning har också inneburit svårigheter för människor att finna en bostad.« (party programme ↗)“New models for rent-setting have also created difficulties for people to find housing.”
• strengthened tenants' position»stoppa renovräkningar. Renovering ska inte vara så lyxig att människor måste vräkas från sina hem. Vi vill stärka hyresgästernas ställning vid renovering.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“stop renovation surcharges. Renovation shall not be so luxurious that people must be evicted from their homes. We wish to strengthen tenants' position in renovation.”
• decentralisation as counterweight»Beslut ska fattas så nära« (party programme ↗)“Decisions shall be made as close”

The plan's guiding principle is that laws and regulations should not override freedom of contract and that decisions should first be made by those affected, as close to the individual as possible. The counter-proposal's demand that the rental market parties themselves handle the use value question and that legislation be limited to mediation is precisely an application of this. The plan's decentralization promise points the same way.

• free contract before legislationdecisive»bör lagar och regler inte köra över den fria avtalsrätten« (party programme ↗)“laws and regulations should not override freedom of contract”
• decisions close to those affected»måste principen vara att beslut i första hand ska fattas av människor själva, eller så nära den enskilda människan som möjligt« (party programme ↗)“the principle should be that decisions are primarily made by people themselves, or as close to the individual as possible”
• decentralize more»Decentralisera mera. Människor ska få bestämma mer själva, och politiska beslut ska fattas nära dem som berörs.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Decentralize more. People should decide more for themselves, and political decisions should be made close to those affected.”

The plan explicitly requires that the usufruct system be reformed for increased mobility and that rent in newly built rental apartments shall be able to be agreed freely, thus a legislated change in rent-setting. The counter-proposal instead wants to leave the usufruct question and dispute resolution to the parties of the rental market and limit legislation to mediation, which preserves today's order. The plan combines the reform with legal rules that protect tenants, not with abstaining from regulation.

• reformed usufruct systemdecisive»Bruksvärdessystemet ska reformeras för ökad rörlighet.« (party programme ↗)“The usufruct system shall be reformed for increased mobility.”
• free rent in new production»För att få upp byggandet av fler hyresrätter och korta köerna vill vi kombinera ett starkt besittningsskydd med att hyran i nybyggda hyresrätter ska få avtalas fritt mellan hyresvärd och hyresgäst.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“To increase the construction of more rental apartments and shorten waiting lists we want to combine strong occupancy protection with rent in newly built rental apartments being able to be agreed freely between landlord and tenant.”
• rent shall reflect location»Hyressättningen behöver i större utsträckning avspegla bostadens läge och konsumentens efterfrågan« (party programme ↗)“Rent-setting needs to a greater extent reflect the property's location and consumer demand”
• legal protection against rent shocks»villkor och ett skydd mot plötsliga höjningar av hyran för den befintliga bostaden.« (party programme ↗)“terms and protection against sudden rent increases for the existing apartment.”

The counter-proposal wants the parties in the rental market to handle the usufruct issue themselves and legislation to be limited to mediation. The subsidiarity principle in the plan means that a higher level shall primarily complement and not take over what a lower community can manage, and the plan explicitly rejects state control of what the parties agree on. At the same time, the plan wants residents to be protected against unreasonable rent increases, which the mediation track encompasses.

• subsidiarity: state complementsdecisive»Varje nivå är således i första hand kompletterande till de lägre och ska inte ersätta eller beröva« (party programme ↗)“Each level is thus primarily complementary to the lower and shall not replace or deprive”
• parties agree, not state»Statlig styrning av lönebildningen i form av inkomstpolitik avvisas.« (party programme ↗)“State control of wage formation in the form of income policy is rejected.”
• protection against unreasonable rents»Någon form av hyresreglering som skyddar de boende från oskäliga hyreshöjningar bör finnas.« (party programme ↗)“Some form of rent regulation that protects residents from unreasonable rent increases should exist.”

The counter-proposal wants to leave the rent determination issue to the rental market parties and limit legislation to mediation. The election manifesto, by contrast, wants to legislate on rent setting so that prospective tenants' valuation of housing is given greater weight, and implement reforms that increase the building of rental apartments. The plan thus assumes legislated changes rather than the parties handling the issue themselves, and the demand is rejected.

• reformed rent settingdecisive»Möjliggöra mer rättvisa hyror genom att potentiella hyresgästers värdering av boendet ges större vikt« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Enable fairer rents by giving prospective tenants' valuation of housing greater weight”
• increased housing construction»Vi vill genomföra reformer som ökar byggandet av såväl hyressom bostadsrätter.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to implement reforms that increase the building of both rental apartments and owner-occupied apartments.”
• strong ownership rights»Äganderätten och näringsfriheten ska ha ett starkt skydd i« (party programme ↗)“Ownership rights and freedom of enterprise shall have strong protection in”

The counter-proposal wants the parties in the rental market to handle the use-value question themselves and legislation to be limited to mediation. The plan insists that decisions shall be made at the lowest appropriate level and defends a negotiation model where the parties agree on terms, and wants to simplify rather than expand the regulations in the housing sphere. The plan does not address the dispute resolution procedure directly, so the assessment is derived.

• decisions near those affecteddecisive»beslut bör fattas på lägsta ändamålsenliga nivå« (party programme ↗)“decisions should be made at the lowest appropriate level”
• the parties' model is defended»Försvara den svenska modellen« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Defend the Swedish model”
• simplified regulations»Sverigedemokraterna vill underlätta bostadsbyggande genom att förenkla och snabba på beslutsprocesser och se över de omfattande regelverk och krav som styr bostadsbyggande.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden Democrats want to facilitate housing construction by simplifying and speeding up decision processes and reviewing the extensive regulations and requirements that govern housing construction.”
• simpler housing regulations»Anpassa och förenkla regler och processer för planering och byggnation« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Adapt and simplify regulations and processes for planning and construction”
