A passive house is an eco-friendly, climate-smart building designed using a set of construction techniques to create an energy-efficient home.
In 2012, at Trollbacken in Gnosjö, Fastighets AB Järnbäraren built its first passive house.
A passive house is designed to minimize heat loss so effectively that radiators or underfloor heating are unnecessary. A passive house primarily relies on heat from the people and electronic devices within the building.
By using an FTX heat exchanger, the heat from the exhaust air is utilized to warm the incoming air. The house is built to be airtight and well-insulated, reducing heat leakage. The only additional heating is a small electric heating element, which provides extra warmth during cold winter days to prevent drafts.
When living in a passive house with us, hot water is included, but the electricity for the FTX heat exchanger and household use is not included.
Go to ‘For Our Tenants’ – Fault Reporting and fill out the form.

The tenancy law is found in Chapter 12 of the Land Code and regulates the relationship between landlords and tenants. The general rule is that a tenant is not allowed to transfer, exchange, or sublet the apartment without the landlord’s consent.
As of October 1, 2019, legislation regarding the illegal trade of rental contracts has been tightened.
Subletting occurs when the tenant who has signed a rental agreement with us allows someone else to use the apartment independently, meaning the tenant is living elsewhere. The person who signs the rental agreement with Fastighets AB Järnbäraren is the one who must live in the apartment.
We do not permit subletting without specific reasons. A written application must always be submitted to us for approval. Naturally, you may have guests who stay overnight. However, this must be done with respect for your neighbors and your responsibility for the apartment. A guest must have their primary residence elsewhere. Having guests does not constitute subletting.
You are allowed to rent out part of your apartment to someone else, such as a room. As long as you continue to live in the apartment, Fastighets AB Järnbäraren does not need to be informed or approve your arrangement with a lodger.
If the lodger pays rent, it should be reasonable based on the apartment’s base rent and any additional included amenities. We recommend creating a written agreement between the parties.
Keep in mind that you are responsible for the apartment and ensuring the rent is paid. If your lodger disturbs the neighbors, you risk having your tenancy terminated. You cannot have so many lodgers that the apartment becomes overcrowded (a maximum of two people per room). Having lodgers does not constitute subletting.
It is not permitted to allow others to register their residence at your address while you live elsewhere. Allowing someone to register their address at your apartment in exchange for payment and profiting from your rental agreement is illegal.
Fastighets AB Järnbäraren operates a rental system that offers vacant apartments to individuals on our housing queue. Renting out an apartment illegally bypasses this queue. Given the current housing shortage, subletting can often be seen as a way to make money, which is punishable by law if done for profit.
We, as the landlord, have increased control over ongoing subletting activities to prevent this type of unauthorized practice. Our goal is to contribute to a better-functioning rental housing market and to create secure housing conditions for our current tenants and those seeking housing with us.
You can reach our customer service on weekdays between 08:00 and 16:00.
