What is an apartment?

An apartment is a private dwelling in a multi-story building. It can be a good choice to rent an apartment if you want to be close to the city and have access to public transportation. It is also a good place to live if you want to be close to other people.

It is often cheaper to live in an apartment than in a house, but it also has some downsides. For example, there are often limitations on how much you can change in your apartment. Additionally, there are often restrictions on how much noise you can make.

As a tenant in an apartment, you have the right to inhabit the apartment and use the facilities in the property such as attic space and courtyard. You are responsible for keeping the apartment in reasonable condition, and you must pay your rent on time.

Some of the most common types are 1-bedroom apartments, 2-bedroom apartments, and 3-bedroom apartments. There are also larger apartments, such as 4-bedroom apartments, 5-bedroom apartments, and even up to six-bedroom apartments or more.

What are the benefits of renting a flat or studio in Denmark?

There can be several good reasons to choose a rental apartment over other types of housing. Here are some of the most important:

  • Flexibility: It is often more flexible to own than to rent an apartment, making it easier to move as needed, for example, in connection with job changes or changes in personal circumstances.
  • No maintenance costs: As a tenant, you are typically not responsible for the maintenance of the property, which can save you both time and money.
  • Economically affordable: Renting an apartment often requires a smaller upfront financial investment compared to buying a home. Moreover, you are not tied to a mortgage.
  • Access to facilities: Many apartment complexes offer access to communal facilities such as courtyards, laundry rooms, common areas, etc., which might not necessarily be economically accessible if you owned your own home.
  • Easier to move in: Rental apartments are often ready for move-in, which makes the moving process faster and less cumbersome compared to the process of buying a home.
  • Lower financial risk: As a tenant, you are protected against depreciation in the property market, as you do not own the property.
  • Simpler insurance requirements: The insurance requirements for tenants are often simpler and less costly than for homeowners.

How do you find an apartment for rent in Denmark?

Finding the right apartment generally requires good research and planning.

Start by defining your priorities, requirements, and needs - where should the apartment be located, how large should it be, what is your budget for rent, etc.

Once you know what kind of apartment you want, investigate the market for available ones to access a wide range of potential options.

Once you have identified the rental apartments you are interested in, contact the landlords to arrange a viewing. View several different apartments to have a good basis for comparison. Ask questions and take notes during the viewings. When you have found the apartment that best suits your desires and needs, contact the landlord immediately so that it doesn't get rented to someone else before you.

Find available apartments online in Denmark

You can filter your search and create automatic search agents for apartment for rent, which notify you about new available rental apartments that match your criteria. This gives you the opportunity to be one of the first to contact the landlord - thereby increasing your chances of being the one who rents the apartment.

Find cheap apartments in Denmark for rent

If you are looking for an economically affordable rental apartment, it requires extra effort on your part. You need to have many options to choose from, so you can select the cheapest rental apartment and negotiate the price with the landlord. You can achieve this by contacting as many landlords as possible: housing companies and property companies, administration companies, private landlords, real estate agents who facilitate rental apartments, etc.

Inform your network that you are looking for an apartment to rent, so they can assist you with the house hunting. Share your search on social media.

Once you have received offers from many different landlords, the next step is to negotiate the rental price. By keeping several options open and considering various landlords, you increase the chances of finding one who is willing to reduce the price to fit your budget. It is important that you indicate in your application that you would be a good and stable tenant, so the landlord sees an advantage in offering you a good rental price. If he is unwilling to reduce the price, he might agree to a lower deposit.

Choose a flat for rent in a well-maintained property

Your housing standard greatly affects your living standard. So when you are looking for an available apartment to rent, keep in mind that the home should be functional and situated in a well-maintained property with a high standard.

It is essential to ensure that the property's technical facilities are in good condition, including the heating system, ventilation, and plumbing. A reliable and maintained heating system along with a functioning ventilation system are essential to ensure a comfortable indoor climate for all residents.

It is also important that you check that the service providers who take care of the property’s maintenance – e.g., caretaker and cleaning service - maintain a high standard. Reliable and efficient service is central to ensuring a clean and inviting environment in the property.

Find flats in Denmark with the right size and layout

When choosing the new apartment you want to rent, it is vital that you ensure that the apartment meets both your current and future needs. The apartment should have a size and room distribution that suits your current life situation, as well as any future changes during the time you plan to live in the apartment, such as family expansion, thoughts of moving abroad, and subletting, etc.

Be aware that the layout and floor plan can have a significant impact not only on the physical space but also on your daily quality of life. The right environment can make it easier to create a home where you feel comfortable. So also consider what decorating options you want to have when you move into the apartment.

Use your common sense when looking for an apartment to rent

When you rent a home, it is very important that you check the landlord before you transfer money to the landlord. Always get legal help to review your lease before signing. Get an inspection of the property, check the landlord's background and get documentation of the landlord's right to rent the property before you sign or transfer money to the landlord. Most importantly: use your common sense.

We have collected a number of tips on what you should pay attention to in this guide: Check the landlord before renting a home.

Nice to know when you are searching for apartment in Denmark

In the happiest country in the world (2016) and the mother of beer, bacon and the phenomenon of ‘Hygge’, not a single day is dull. Denmark is the smallest country of Scandinavia and located in between Germany and Sweden on a sum of small islands. It’s home to around 5,800,000 citizens. However if you look beyond the country at the Kingdom Of Denmark, which also includes the Faroe Islands and Greenland, the population grows to 5,9 million. The capital and most populous city is called Copenhagen and is located on the island of Zealand. In this centre of culture, architecture, art, music and gastronomy all within walking distance, you’ll have no difficulty filling out the spare time. Go for a pastry in one of the many small bakeries with the rest of the Danes on their way to work, stroll through the aesthetic narrow streets, grab a bite at a restaurant, and end up at a bar grabbing a good old Carlsberg beer with your buddies. There are additionally many museums and galleries, and the gastronomical scene in Denmark is also greatly saluted, most recently as Noma and Geranium were rated the two best restaurants in the world by The Worlds’ 50 Best Restaurants.

Denmark has a rich history dating all the way back to around 120,000 BC and therefore has many stories to tell. In many cities you’ll find charming old farm houses from the 17th century peacefully located in between modern architecture from every decade following. This image is very expository of the energy Denmark oozes, and perhaps some sort of illustration of what hygge feels like. The fairytale-like scenery is compliant with Denmark’s contribution to the world throughout the past. The infamous fairytale writer H. C Anderson was born in Denmark in 1805, and managed to write some of the most recognized fairytales, such as The Emperor's New Clothes, The Little Mermaid, The Nightingale, The Steadfast Tin Soldier, The Snow Queen and many more. Millions of people visit Denmark to experience a piece of these fairytales. Beyond the cities, castles of all sizes, small homesteads and lakes bedeck the rolling hills full of fields of different agriculture in different colors. The castles are especially a common point on the itinerary of tourists and expats, and we get why. A number of castles in Denmark are kept intact and restored regularly to keep the history of the country alive. At Kronborg castle for instance, you’re invited into an experience of royal life in 1843. The state of Denmark is currently a form of constitutional monarchy, which means they have an actual queen, Margrethe the II, Queen of Denmark.

Despite the strong ties to their mature past of Vikings, royalty and trading, Denmark is known to be very progressive in many fields. In 1969, they were the first country in the world to legalize pornography, it was the first in the world to introduce same-sex-marriage laws in 1989, and its currently one of the leading countries in sustainable energy, as the wind production per capita exceeds that of any other OECD country. 

It’s a popular country among many expats as the welfare system is very beneficial and provides anyone with residency a right for free healthcare, free education, 52 weeks leave with maternity subsistence allowance, an allowance as student and many more. They are able to achieve this through taxes. The labour market is rather unproblematic to enter as a foreigner as English is a common language in offices, and there’s a high number of international companies.
