A Stockholm couple have been told they can stay in their rental apartment after neighbours called for their eviction over the pair’s naughty and noisy night-time games.
- Stockholm policeman warned after Thai brothel visit (8 Feb 10)
- 'No sex ring links to ex-police chief' (31 Jan 10)
- Ex-police chief arrested for rape (27 Jan 10)
The case was taken to the rent tribunal board (Hyresnämden) in an attempt to evict the couple.
But the complaints were thrown out by the board who stated that the noise could have come from another apartment within the building.
Disturbance orders had previously been issued to the couple's address on two occasions in connection with a domestic argument and a party.
But the tribunal concluded that the couple could not be throw out of their apartment for reasons other than the two reported incidents, which were not a case for eviction.

"No one is surprised to hear that safety is important to Swedes. After all, the first 3-point seat belt was first put into production for cars in the Volvo PV444 in 1959.

Personally, I think there are a lot of jealous folk out there who cant give their partners the same amount of loving these two seem to be giving each other - so rather than address that problem they would rather just move these out.
Let's be considerate towards eachother instead of maybe causing accidents for lack of sleep!
The world is coming to a state were people a sick and tired of people who have no respect for fellow humans.
@ janeway: Well said. Some people just want to get home and relax, so they can be ready for a new day at work.
i think this is a case of jealous and very old 30 year old neighboors getting all mad because of their own inability to have sex.
On the other hand, if the couple is into games etc, maybe a gag would be a wise investment for all concerned?
The kids you dont want to hear are; sooner or later; a direct result of the sex you would rather hear.
On the bright side of your comment, if kids do result from all that sex, you'll have silence for a good 8 months or so :).
