For people moving to Copenhagen

Furnished homes, ready when you arrive

We find you somewhere to live, arrange the viewings and go through the lease with you. It costs you nothing.

There is no fee for tenants. Danish law does not allow it, and we would not want to charge one anyway.

If anyone in this market asks you for a search fee, a reservation fee, or a payment to hold an apartment for you, something is wrong. Nothing we do is paid for by the person moving in.

What we do

What you get

The parts of a Copenhagen home search that are difficult to do from abroad, or in a language you do not read yet.

Homes that fit

We look for what you actually asked for, and only show you places that are genuinely available.

Viewings from anywhere

In person once you are here, or live on video while you are still abroad.

A lease you understand

Prepared on the official Typeformular A10, and gone through with you clause by clause.

A documented handover

Photographs, meter readings and a written report. This is what protects your deposit later.

CPR guidance

What to bring to International House, in what order, and what happens next.

Someone to call

A named contact while you live there, so problems do not turn into translated emails.

Worth knowing

How renting works in Denmark

Deposit

Expect up to three months of rent as a deposit, plus prepaid rent, paid when you sign.

CPR registration

You register your address with the local authority. Without it you cannot get a CPR number or a health card.

The contract

Danish leases use an official standard form. If someone offers you something else, ask why.

Move-in inspection

The condition of the flat should be written down at handover. It decides what you can be charged for later.

Questions

Frequently asked

Six to eight weeks before you arrive works best. We can move faster, but the earlier you start, the more you get to choose from.
Yes, and that is the normal case. Searching, viewings by video and the lease can all be handled before you arrive.
None. Danish tenancy law prohibits charging a tenant for arranging a lease, and we follow it.
The owner, directly. We never hold your money.
Yes. Copenhagen and the surrounding municipalities, nothing further afield.
