Swedish term or phrase: bostadsrättsförsäkring
Anyone know what this is, please? I'm finding anything from owner-occupiers' insurance to tenant-owner insurance in dictionaries. I don't suppose it's what we (in the UK) fondly call 'bricks and mortar' insurance, is it (as opposed to contents?). Sentence:
..Skattebetalarnas Förening vars 130 000 medlemmar erbjuds bil-, villa-, hem-, bostadsrätts- och fritidshusförsäkring.

housing co-op insurance
Explanation:
See previous KudoZ answers for bostadsrätt that actually deal with the ins. aspect and dismisses both condominium (AE) and commonhold(BE)

cf. bostadrättförening: 'tenant-owners' association' in Prisma dict. that sounds like a tenancy v. ownership contradiction.

'... Additional insurance is recommended to cover your personal possessions and for ... *Co-op housing* residents have the same potential tax benefits as other homeowners ...'

Leasehold (tomträtt/ ofri grund) insurance would look right in that list, but may too off-beam.
