Abstract
Two strategies for increasing tenant influence and decreasing the need for state housing subsidies are discussed: 1) conversion of rental dwellings into cooperatives or condominiums, and 2) changes in the content of rental tenure. Some Scandinavian examples are presented as a basis for discussion of the viability of the two strategies. The conversion strategy does increase tenant influence, but may cause a less equitable distribution of housing standards and costs. Changing the content of rental tenure gives relatively less influence to tenants, but guarantees access for all to high quality, cost-rent housing.
