Hushållsbostad

Hushållsbostad, a Swedish term, translates to "household dwelling" or "residential housing" in English. It refers to any building or part of a building that is used as a permanent residence for a household. This encompasses a wide range of living spaces, including detached houses, apartments, townhouses, and even mobile homes that are occupied as a primary dwelling. The core concept is that the space is intended for habitation by a family or a group of individuals living together as a unit.
