Cooperative rental housing

The party programme states that the wealth transfer from collective to private through sale of public housing must be stopped and that society shall take back responsibility for housing provision. The counter-proposal instead wants to make it easier to convert public housing when a sale is in view, which reduces the collectively owned stock. That the programme wants to give cooperative housing without profit-making a chance to develop does not outweigh this, because the proposal concerns precisely the disposal of public housing.

The party programme states that strong non-profit and cooperative enterprises are necessary to keep housing costs down and counteract segregation, and that society should support cooperative activities. Making it easier for tenants to acquire their houses for cooperative rental maintains the rental form and increases residents' influence. The requirement thereby aligns with the plan's line.

The election manifesto wishes to see that more can own their homes and the party programme wishes different housing forms to be mixed and available in all areas, which speaks for facilitating conversion to cooperative rental housing — a form that retains the rental character. The plan is also positive about cooperatives as a way for the local community to share the economy. At the same time, the plan warns that the high conversion rate has caused major problems, so support is weak and conditional.

• more shall own their homesdecisive»se till att fler kan äga sin bostad.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“see to it that more can own their homes.”

The party programme makes property rights and personal ownership a central principle and wants to encourage people through civil society organizations to jointly own and run important societal functions. Making it easier for tenants to purchase their houses and form a dormant cooperative rental housing association is directly in line with this and with the requirement for low barriers in the housing market. The support is derived from the principles.

• central property rightsdecisive»Äganderätten är central för ett samhälle där människor kan förverkliga sig själva och sina drömmar.« (party programme ↗)“Property rights are central to a society where people can realize themselves and their dreams.”
• cooperative ownership»uppmuntra att människor genom föreningslivet tillsammans äger och driver viktiga samhällsfunktioner« (party programme ↗)“encourage people through civil society organizations to jointly own and run important societal functions”

The plan establishes that power over one's own housing is important for the individual's sense of freedom and that more people shall experience the sense of freedom of owning their own home. The election manifesto goes further and wants municipal housing companies to actively work for more rental units to be converted. Making it easier for tenants to acquire their homes and to form a dormant association in advance therefore aligns with the plan.

• power over one's own housingdecisive»Att ha makt över det egna boendet är viktigt för den enskildes frihetskänsla.« (party programme ↗)“Having power over one's own housing is important for the individual's sense of freedom.”
• conversion to owned housing»Kommunala bostadsbolag ska både arbeta för att fler hyresrätter i utsatta områden omvandlas till bostadsrätter och för att få fler med egen försörjning och färre med försörjningsstöd att flytta till utsatta områden.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Municipal housing companies shall both work for more rental units in disadvantaged areas to be converted to housing cooperatives and for more people with their own income and fewer with maintenance allowance to move to disadvantaged areas.”
• more people shall own their housing»Att få uppleva frihetskänslan av en egen bostad är något många fler ska få göra.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Being able to experience the sense of freedom of owning one's own home is something many more shall be able to do.”

The plan's housing policy commitment is to give those who wish it the opportunity to own their home and that all residential areas shall have varying forms of tenure. The counter-proposal's requirement for easier acquisition of public housing companies' buildings for conversion to cooperative rental housing, and for registered societies in advance, aligns with this and with the fact that collective housing forms should exist. The plan also emphasizes residents' actual influence through co-responsibility. However, cooperative rental housing is not specifically mentioned, which is why the position is derived.

• opportunity to own one's homedecisive»ge dem som så önskar möjlighet att äga sin bostad« (party programme ↗)“give those who wish it the opportunity to own their home”
• varying forms of tenure»i alla stadsdelar och bostadsområden ska finnas varierande upplåtelseformer« (party programme ↗)“in all districts and residential areas there shall be varying forms of tenure”
• collective housing forms»Möjligheter till kollektivt boende i olika former bör finnas« (party programme ↗)“Opportunities for collective housing in various forms should exist”
• housing influence and co-responsibility»påverka sin boendemiljö och sina boendekostnader genom medansvar och inflytande« (party programme ↗)“influence their housing environment and their housing costs through co-responsibility and influence”

The plan's housing policy starting point is that everyone should dare to dream of owning their own home, and the party programme sees individual ownership as what spreads power and gives stewardship responsibility. Making it easier for tenants in public housing to acquire their houses and to form a dormant cooperative in advance aligns with that. Cooperative rental apartments are however not explicitly addressed in the plan.

• own owned housingdecisive»I Moderaternas Sverige ska alla våga drömma om att äga sin egen bostad.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“In the Moderates' Sweden, everyone should dare to dream of owning their own home.”
• ownership spreads power»Det enskilda ägandet sprider makten« (party programme ↗)“Individual ownership spreads power”
• ownership brings stewardship responsibility»Med ägande följer förvaltande,« (party programme ↗)“With ownership comes stewardship,”
• reforms for more housing»Vi vill genomföra reformer som ökar byggandet av såväl hyressom bostadsrätter.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to carry out reforms that increase the building of both rental and owner-occupied apartments.”

The plan establishes that choice between different housing forms shall increase and that it shall be easier to move or change housing. Making it easier for tenants in public housing to acquire their homes and forming a dormant association in advance are precisely a way to broaden housing forms and lower barriers. The plan also wants to generally simplify rules and processes in the housing area and improve young people's opportunities to acquire housing.
