Hous­ing

Location location location

Generally renting in Copenhagen is expensive. It is less expensive if you find a place outside central Copenhagen, and even cheaper in the outskirts of Copenhagen or in the suburbs.

Copenhagen is an easy city to get around with public transportation, so living in the suburbs, still leaves you at a reasonable travel distance to work at CBS. Buses, trains and metro run frequently.

Other factors

Private rentals and the rent itself are regulated by the Tenant Consolidation Act (Tenants Laws). Rent for a certain rental is determined by a number of factors:

• Location
• Type (apartment, single/family house or single room)
• Building year
• Remodeled and other aspects

It is normal to pay a deposit when renting accomodation. 

Limits

There are limits to the amount that the owner may request in deposit. Legally, the owner can only request up to 3 months deposit and 3 months prepaid rent.

The deposit will remain on the owner's account until the apartment has been inspected for any damages and the heating and other utilities have been settled.

Getting your deposit back

When terminating your leave, if you have prepaid 3 months of rent, you will not need to pay rent for the last 3 months of your lease.

You should always watch out when you are looking for accommodation. There are many scammers who will try to rent a room or apartment to you which they do not own or which does not exist.

The police offers good advice on how to make yourself more secure in your hunt for housing and avoid scam.

 Make sure to:

• check that the person in fact owns the room or apartment in question
• make any payments to a Danish bank account – if possible
• always use your common sense
• never let yourself be pressured by an eager letter or landlord
