Transfer Agreement for Tenant-Owner Rights – Complete template package in Word and PDF

A complete and professional document package for buying and selling tenant-owner rights (bostadsrätt) under Swedish law. The package contains the transfer agreement itself, seller disclosures, a buyer's checklist, a handover protocol, membership application forms, spousal/cohabitant consent, and a legal guide for 2026/2027.

The template package was legally reviewed on October 3, 2026, against the Tenant-Ownership Act, the Sale of Goods Act, the Marriage Code, and the Cohabitees Act in force at that time. The documents are intended to be relevant during 2026 and 2027, provided that the rules remain unchanged. The package also includes a specific warning regarding the approved reform for a national tenant-owner register, as the central registration rules will only enter into force on a date decided by the government.

Formal requirements in the Tenant-Ownership Act

For a valid purchase of tenant-owner rights, the transfer agreement must be in writing and signed by both the seller and the buyer. The agreement must specify which apartment is being transferred and the price. If the formal requirements are not met, the transfer may be void.

The template therefore includes clear fields for, among other things:

• seller and buyer
• tenant-owner association and corporate registration number
• apartment number and address
• share of ownership being transferred
• purchase price and down payment
• final payment and possession
• membership in the association
• pledging
• renovations and permits
• fixtures and fittings
• financing and inspection conditions
• consent from spouse/cohabitant when required

Membership in the tenant-owner association

A central part of the tenant-owner transaction is the membership. If the buyer is refused membership, the transfer is as a main rule void under the Tenant-Ownership Act. The package therefore contains separate documentation for the membership application and notice of transfer to the association or its administrator.

In cases of shared ownership, legal entities, or other unusual ownership structures, there are additional specific checkpoints, as the association's statutes and the Tenant-Ownership Act's membership rules may affect the transaction.

The Sale of Goods Act and defects in tenant-owner rights

When purchasing tenant-owner rights between private individuals, the parties' agreement applies first, followed by the Sale of Goods Act. The package therefore includes comprehensive seller disclosures and a buyer's checklist to document items that may be relevant in the event of a later dispute.

The seller disclosures cover, among other things:

• kitchen, bathroom, and wet rooms
• electricity, water, sewage, and ventilation
• moisture and water damage
• insurance matters
• renovations and board approval
• fees and planned changes
• pledging and debts
• subletting
• parking, storage, and other side agreements

Also check the tenant-owner association

The buyer should not only examine the apartment itself. The package's checklist also helps in checking the association's finances and important documents, including:

• annual report
• debt levels and interest rate sensitivity
• statutes
• maintenance plan
• planned major projects
• fee increases
• ground lease or owned land
• premises and other financial risks

Pledging and possession

The package includes specific fields for documenting existing pledges, the seller's bank, the buyer's bank, and how loans will be settled. The handover protocol serves as a practical final check of the final payment, fees, keys, tags, storage units, garages, fixtures, and any discrepancies.

Consent from spouse or cohabitant

A tenant-owner right that serves as the common home for spouses or cohabitants may be subject to consent rules. The package therefore includes a separate consent template for situations where written permission is required or should be documented.

National tenant-owner register – important 2026/2027 update

In 2026, the Parliament decided on a national tenant-owner register and consequential amendments to the Tenant-Ownership Act. However, the central provisions regarding the registration of transfers and pledges do not yet have a general entry-into-force date but will come into effect on a date decided by the government. The package is therefore based on the rules currently applicable at the time of the legal review and instructs the user to check whether the reform has been implemented when using the documents in 2027.

Who is this package for?

• private individuals selling tenant-owner rights without an estate agent
• private individuals buying tenant-owner rights directly from another private individual
• family members conducting a standard sale
• companies and advisors who need a structured contract template
• those who wish to supplement the estate agent's or the association's documents with their own control documentation

Legal basis

• Tenant-Ownership Act (1991:614), specifically Chapter 2 and Chapter 6, Sections 3–5
• Sale of Goods Act (1990:931)
• Marriage Code (1987:230), specifically Chapter 7, Sections 4–9
• Cohabitees Act (2003:376), specifically Sections 22–25
