NCkravet

NCkravet is a term used in Sweden to refer to the amount of money a tenant is legally entitled to reclaim from a landlord if the landlord has failed to meet certain obligations. Primarily, this relates to the landlord's responsibility for maintaining the property in a good condition and ensuring that the rented accommodation is suitable for living. If the landlord neglects these duties, leading to a diminished quality of living for the tenant, NCkravet may come into play.

This concept is rooted in Swedish rental law, which aims to protect tenants' rights. A tenant can claim NCkravet if, for example, there are significant defects in the property that are not rectified by the landlord, such as persistent mold, lack of heating, or other issues that substantially impact the habitability of the dwelling. The amount of NCkravet is not fixed and is determined on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the severity and duration of the defect, as well as the extent to which it has affected the tenant's use of the property.

To pursue an NCkravet, a tenant typically needs to have reported the issue to the landlord and given them a reasonable opportunity to rectify it. If the landlord fails to act, the tenant may then be able to claim compensation. Disputes regarding NCkravet are often handled through the Swedish Rent Tribunal (Hyresnämnden), which mediates and makes decisions in rental disputes.
