Bostadsbristen är ett allvarligt problem i Sverige och bostadsmarknaden är långt ifrån välfungerande. År 2015 bedömde Boverket att 183 av landets 290 kommuner hade ett underskott på bostäder. 80 kommuner tyckte sig ha en balans mellan bostadssökande och antalet lediga bostäder medan resterande 27 kommuner fann ett överskott på bostäder. Att tilläga är att 82 procent av befolkningen bor i de 183 kommuner som berörs av underskott.Den förra regeringen anser att om vi bättre nyttjar de redan befintliga bostäderna och skapar ett flexibelt utbud av lägenheter genom andrahandsupplåtelse samt gör outnyttjade bostäder tillgängliga på marknaden kan man hjälpa många människor som söker bostad.Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda, analysera och diskutera varför bedömningen gällande de skäl som krävs för tillstånd till andrahandsuthyrning skiljer sig åt mellan de två nyttjanderättsformerna, bostadsrätt och hyresrätt. Även klargöra vilka skäl som lagstiftare anser vara tillräckliga vid en tillståndsprövning gällande andrahandsupplåtelse. När utredning av eventuella skillnader i skäl för upplåtelse i andra hand är klar besvaras och diskuteras följande frågeställning: Varför är BRLs regler generösare än hyreslagens regler?I uppsatsen undersöks olika bestämmelser för att få en djupare insikt i gällande rätt. Förarbeten, rättspraxis och doktrin har legat till grund för tolkning av lagar och för att ge läsaren förståelse för den praktiska tillämpningen av valda lagrum.Av det insamlade materialet har det framkommit, att det i första hand är den enskilda bostadsrättsföreningen eller hyresvärden som beslutar vilka skäl som anses tillräckliga för tillstånd till en andrahandsupplåtelse. Reglerna i BRL är generösare än motsvarande regler i hyreslagen då bostadsrättshavaren inte behöver åberopa samma tyngd i sina skäl för uthyrningen som en förstahandshyresgäst. Detta på grund av det ekonomiska intresse och uppbundna kapital som bostadsrättshavaren har i sin bostad vilket en förstahandshyresgäst saknar. Det är enligt oss anledningar till varför BRLs syn på godtagbara skäl är generösare än motsvarande regler i hyreslagen. / The housing shortage is a serious problem in Sweden and the housing market is ineffective and greatly hampered. In 2015 the national board of housing, building and planning in Sweden named Boverket, estimated that 183 of the country’s 290 municipalities had a shortage of housing. 80 of the municipalities showed a balance between housing applicants and the number of vacant homes, while remaining 27 municipalities showed a surplus of housing. Important to note is that 82 percent of the population reside in the municipalities affected by the shortage.The previous government believes that by better utilizing existing dwellings and creating a flexible supply of apartments by sublease as well as making unused homes available to the market they can help a lot of people in their search for a home.The purpose of this essay is to investigate, analyze and discuss why there are differences between two forms of tenancies, owner-occupied apartments and rental units, with respect to the reasons thought to be sufficient in the assessment of obtaining permission to sublease. After clarifying differences regarding reasons for sublease, the following question is answered: Why is the law concerning owner-occupied apartments more generous than the law regarding rental units?Various regulations are examined in the essay to create a deeper understanding of the law. Travaux préparatoires, case law and jurisprudence has formed the basis for the interpretation of the statutes and to provide the reader with a deeper understanding of the practical use of selected section of the law.The collected material has illustrated that it is primarily the individual co-operative housing association or landlord who decides what reasons are sufficient to permit a sublease. The rules considering owner-occupied apartments are more generous than the corresponding law for rental units, since the owner of a co-operative apartment does not need to invoke the same substance in their reasons for renting as primary tenant because of their financial interest which a tenant lacks. According to us this is the main reason why the view on acceptable grounds for sublease regarding owner-occupied apartments are more generous than the corresponding laws applied on rental units.

Hostels are a product of the migrant labour system that originated in the copper mining industry in Namaqualand in the 1850s. The migrant labour compounds were used to accommodate migrant labour workers in the urban areas. However, these compounds also meant that migrant labour workers were denied the right of access to permanent accommodation and residential space in the urban areas. After the repeal of the influx control and segregative laws in South Africa in 1986, some of the hostel dwellers brought their relatives and friends to live in the hostels and this resulted in problems such as overcrowding which were exacerbated by poor management and control of the hostels. The living conditions of the hostel dwellers deteriorated during the 1990s. After the announcement of the unbanning of all liberation movements and political parties in South Africa in the 1990s, hostel violence broke out. This hostel violence left many hostel blocks vandalised and without basic municipal services such as electricity, water and waste removal. The hostel violence was primarily between the Inkata Freedom Party (IFP) aligned hostel dwellers and the African National Congress (ANC) aligned township and informal settlement residents. The hostel violence has catalysed the public housing challenges faced by the democratic government since its inception in 1994. Nevertheless, since 1994 the democratic government has introduced various housing programmes in an effort to provide adequate houses for all South African citizens. One such housing programme is the hostel redevelopment programme. The hostel redevelopment programme was adopted by the democratic government after 1994 with the aim of, among other things, upgrading public hostels, redeveloping and converting the rooms in public hostels into family rental units in order to improve the living conditions of the hostel dwellers and introducing hostel dwellers to family life. The Mogale City Local Municipality (MCLM) is one of the municipalities in Gauteng province that is participating in the hostel redevelopment programme. The findings of this study have revealed that the upgrading of the Kagiso hostel involved the following two processes: During the first process, the MCLM upgraded the Kagiso hostel by fixing broken windows and doors, repairing toilets and providing basic municipal services such as electricity, water, and waste removal in order to improve the living conditions of the hostel dwellers. The second process involved demolishing the hostel blocks and converting them into family units in order to address the public housing challenges relevant to the Kagiso hostel. In this study, the hostel redevelopment programme is called process 1 and the community residential units (CRU) programme is called process 2. / Public Administration & Management / M. Tech.
