Thoroughly annoyed at the moment, I decided to vent my frustrations here. A friend was recently kicked out of her apartment in Stockholm as a second hand renter because her first hand renter (the one who owns the real first hand contract) got kicked out. He claims it was her “fault” because she put her last name on the door of the apartment (to get mail) and that was not allowed.

He now refuses to give her the deposit back. 10 000SEK. That’s nearly $2000. So anyway, I’m really upset over such injustice and he probably took advantage of her as a foreigner. Those of you who know the Stockholm housing market, it’s illegally traded, rented, and dealt with. No one is clean and the second hand renters are constantly screwed by the first hand renters.

Anyone else have asshole landlords?

Oh yes, and his email address: kylon499@hotmail.com …I’ll be sure to post a Hitta lesson on how to look him up.

I am about to fall asleep but before I start typing a bunch of nonsense, some exciting news. This blog is one year old, it survived! I survived writing it! Who would have ever thought. =)

In light of this special occasion, I would like to ask all of you a few questions for the upcoming posts during year two.

What questions do you have about the Swedes?

What topics would you like me cover (can be anything)?

Would you be interested in authoring a post if it related to dating Swedes (you can be a guy or girl)?
