Rental in Denmark
When renting a house, apartment or room in Denmark, owners (udlejer) almost always demand from the renter (lejer) a security taken against any future arrears in payments, or in case renovation after the agreement is over. Following the 2015 changes in law, it is worth revising our rights if we entered into rental agreement before the 2015 changes and afterwards.
No commentsIf you rent an apartment in Denmark and if you meet certain requirements, you can apply for a financial housing support. When you rent a year-round apartment with own kitchen, you can apply for a rent subsidy called boligstøtte.
If your household income is below the level provided for by the law, the kommune is obliged to grant you a loan for making the deposit called lån til beboerindskud. A list of the cooperatives in which a deposit loan is allowed is available on websites of the kommunes, and is to be found in the Lån til beboerindskud i almene boliger tab.
Renting services in Denmark can be rendered by specialized agencies as well as private persons. When it comes to the latter, those looking for the acommodation to hire should be particularly vigilant. Many fraudsters act according to similar schemes, taking advantage of the lack of knowledge and experience of those looking for an apartment to hire, especially newcomers to Denmark.
