If you have the possibility, why not take the opportunity to rent out a room to a student?
The academic year is about to start and Uppsala and Visby are filling up with students. Like anyone else, students need somewhere to live. If you are able to rent out a room to a student, this would be much appreciated.
Visby
Uppsala
In Uppsala you can make use of the website Studentboet instead. Studentboet was started on the initiative of Uppsala Student Union and is funded by Uppsala municipality, Uppsala University and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences.
Is it taxable?
Note that a person renting out accommodation sometimes has to pay tax on the rental income and since 1 January 2023 the Swedish Tax Agency has received information from housing agencies using digital platforms, such as the websites mentioned above, about people who have used the platform and the rental income they have earned during the year.
