>>212080053To be fair, most apartments and homes here were built long before AC was even needed.
Summers are much hotter now and it's too late.
Maybe 1 in 500 apartments have AC (and I am being generous now) because most places were built in the 60's, 70's and 80's. That's like 80% of Swedish apartments.
And our landlords aren't like a single dude owning a bunch of apartments.
It's all mega-corpos owning thousands, sometimes tens of thousands of apartments and entire blocks like Heimstaden, Balder, SBB, Hyresbostäder and Svenska Bostäder.
I rent via Svenska Bostäder and they own over 50 000 apartments in Sweden that they rent out.
They have very strict rules when it comes to home modifications. You have to ask for permission if you want to paint the walls...
From their own rules on the website "du får måla om i din lägenhet hos Svenska Bostäder, så länge det utförs fackmannamässigt och med godkända färger" (You can repaint your apartment at Svenska Bostäder, as long as it is done professionally by Swedish standards and with approved colors)...
