On Monday, the Rent Market Committee, with representatives from the public utility and the Tenants Association, had a meeting, but no decision was made regarding the rent increase for Uppsalahem's 30,000 tenants.
- No, there was no announcement today, but I hope it will within a couple of weeks, says Lena Jansson Nordin, negotiation leader at the Tenants' Association.
When Uppsalahem and the Tenants' Association left the negotiating table, they were far apart regarding the level of the new rents and when they would start to apply.
Uppsalahem has demanded an increase of around 9 percent, while the Tenants' Association believes that 3 percent is reasonable.
The cut: That's why the rents are delayed - may become a retroactive increase.
