Sweden uses a government capped rental system. Rent is kept low but the queue is the downside.
Most apartments are owned by huge companies like Balder, Heimstaden and Victoriahem etc. They own thousands and thousands of apartments and it's through them we rent our homes.
But our rents being capped low and availability limited in the cities means we have a queue system.
There's no highest bidder or first in line here. You sign into a housing queue for the area where you wanna live, and you wait.
You usually get 1-2 points per day and depending on where you live it can be anything from a couple weeks to 20 years to get a place in the nicest, most popular area.
You can rent privately but then the rent is gonna be 4-5x more expensive and contracts are time limited. When you rent from the mega-corpos there's no time limit.
