Tenants in the building in Dalarna in central Sweden also complained that the woman did not dispose of her trash properly and said she sexually assaulted two building workers, The Local reported.

The Regional Rent and Tenancy Tribunal ruled for the landlord in December. But the woman appealed.

The Svea Court of Appeal in Stockholm found recently that the woman was not a good neighbor, but that her behavior was not bad enough to justify eviction.
