Cohabitation agreement
A cohabitation agreement governs ownership and finances between cohabitants, beyond the rules of the Swedish Cohabitees Act. With Contractik you create it on your phone and decide for yourselves who owns what and what applies if you separate.
Suitable for
- Cohabitants who share a home
- A home owned by one of you, jointly 50/50 or with another split
What the agreement contains
- Both cohabitants: name, personal identity number, address, phone and email
- Address of the home you share, who owns it and ownership shares
- Household goods to be excluded from the division of property
- Whether future inheritances and gifts are to be the recipient's separate property
- Whether extra investments and renovations in the home are to be compensated in a division of property
- Split of joint debts and running costs
- What happens to the home on separation
- Other terms and agreements
- General terms (see below)
- Signatures of both parties
Sign in person or remotely
Both sign directly on the phone, send a signing link by email, or print the agreement and sign on paper. Someone who receives a link does not need the app.
General terms included+
These are the terms included in the Contractik agreement. "Above" refers to the details you fill in in the agreement.
- This agreement only regulates cohabitee property under the Swedish Cohabitees Act, i.e. the shared home and household goods acquired for joint use.
- Property stated as separate above is not included in any division of property upon separation.
- Household goods stated as excluded above belong to the cohabitant who acquired them and are not included in the division.
- If the home is jointly owned with a distribution other than 50/50, the ownership share stated above applies in any division of property.
- If a cohabitant has contributed extra investments or renovations to the home and this has been indicated above, that cohabitant shall be compensated for their contribution in any division of property.
- Future inheritance and gifts intended to be the recipient's separate property are not covered by division, unless otherwise stated above.
- The distribution of shared debts and ongoing costs between the cohabitants is as stated above. This arrangement is a voluntary agreement and is not covered by the Cohabitees Act's mandatory provisions on cohabitee property.
- In the event of separation, the question of who has the right to remain in the home is handled as stated above, to the extent the parties can agree on this.
- The agreement does not cover other property, e.g. companies, bank funds, securities or vehicles, which are regulated by other legislation.
- If the cohabitants marry, this agreement automatically ceases to apply; a prenuptial agreement is required for equivalent protection.
- The agreement does not need to be registered to be valid.
- The agreement must be in writing and signed by both cohabitants to be valid under the Cohabitees Act.
- The agreement is governed by Swedish law.
