The Royal Djurgården Administration (KDF) which manages the king's right of disposal has raised the rent with around 350 percent in several cases, which has been appealed by several residents.
The Rent and Lease Tribunal has however rejected all appeals and confirms the rent increases.
Patrik Engellau, who previously was chairman of the association Royal Djurgården's residential leaseholders' association, is strongly critical of the rent increase and claims that the Djurgården administration has run over the residents by refusing to negotiate.
It's about a shock increase. They refuse to negotiate, they haven't even talked to us, he says to Expressen.
KDF claims in turn that the increases cannot be seen as unreasonable even if they in many cases become "very noticeable".
”That the renegotiations occur at long intervals – 10 years – means that some increases can be perceived as dramatic, but must be seen against the background of Stockholm's rapidly changing housing and property market”, writes Magnus Andersson, slottsfogde and head of KDF, to the newspaper.
