It was August 30, 2021 that one of the sons of a family shot two men in the yard below the apartment building in Hjulsta. One man died and the other was seriously injured. In connection with the incident, the property was also fired upon from the farm.
The landlord Hjulstahem believed that the incident constituted a particularly serious disturbance according to the law and terminated the parent’s contract on the rental apartment.
The parent believed that they should not be punished for something the son had done, but the rental board followed Hjulstahem’s line and considered that the dismissal was correct.
Court of Appeal: Right to evict
The parent appealed the verdict to the Court of Appeal and stated, among other things, that the son who shot no longer lives in the apartment. The son was sentenced in 2022 to 13 years and ten months in prison for this shooting and another fatal shooting in the area.
Now the Court of Appeal has determined that the current shooting exposed the neighbors to danger and discomfort and that the housing company has the right to terminate the lease. The remaining family must therefore move out with immediate effect.
