About Samtrygg AB (publ)
Samtrygg is a safe market place for property subleasing. Since the start in 2013, Samtrygg have had thousands of satisfied tenants and landlords all over Sweden. During 2013 when Samtrygg was founded, the sublease market did not function as well as it could.

The Samtrygg model efficiently solves the problem by guarantying the landlords’ payments, sublease insurance and secure agreements. Furthermore, the tenants don’t need to pay a deposition or in advance. Samtrygg takes an active role by helping all parties follow the rules and acts as economical middle hand to minimize the risk of frauds
