Hello, and first of all congratulations for your incredible site! It really helps people!!
Now about my case.
I was interested in renting a room in Sweden.I sent an e-mail at an advertisement I found and I received an anwser. I just want to check if it is a scam.
So
E-mail Address- [email protected]
The mail I received:
Thanks for showing interest in the room,The letting of a room means that the landlord let part of his/her house/apartment to another person. Even if the landlord reside somewhere else the lease situation is still to be seen as the letting of a room if the landlord has access to the house or apartment. If the landlord charges a rent which is higher than the rent paid by the landlord, the rent tribunal can rule that any excess rent for the past year must be paid back. If the room is furnished, a ten percent increase on the monthly rent is seen as reasonable. The apartment is located(14 Amanuensvägen,114 17 Stockholm, Sweden) the apartment is just 5mint walk to the UNIVERSITY,1mint walk to the central station,the house is more found of student so if you're a student or a couple i advice you to take the room,because the room is with a living room,that is furnished with modern facilities,there is a telephone,internet and also heating,in the house,the cost for the apartment is 2500KR with a Security/Deposit fee of 7000KR.
Willing to rent the room you,i stated some of the obligation,you need to put in place
The tenant commit to:
- only use the room as a residence
- not sublet the room or transfer the tenancy to anyone else
- take good care of the room

- leave the room tidy and clean as well as to hand over all gate and door keys to the room at the end of the tenancy, even if the keys has
been acquired by the tenant.
- be responsible for loss of or damage to furniture or fittings as well as for defects and damages to the room and common areas resulting from the tenants cause, through neglect or careless behavior.
- The tenant is to be held responsible even if loss or damage has been caused by his or her friends, members of family, guests, lodgers or persons undertaking work on behalf of the tenant in the room. The tenant is not responsible for defects and damages resulting from normal usage.
-When the tenant is to move out of the room both parties undertake to inspect and draw up an inspection protocol where eventual losses, defects or damages are duly noted.
-It shall be evident from the inspection protocol whether or not both parties agree to the findings.
-It shall also be noted in the protocol how eventual losses, defects or damages are to be compensated.
-The inspection protocol shall be drawn up in two identical copies, each signed by both parties, of which the landlord and tenant have
each taken one copy.
If you agree with the above Tenant/Responsibility and obligation,kindly inform me when you decided to take the room. I.E: Your moving out date and also your moving in date.
