Renting a home
Finding a place to live can take effort. Most foreign nationals working or studying in Aarhus choose to rent a home.
In Danish, the phrase “to rent” is “at leje”.
Rents in the Aarhus-area vary depending on location, size, and general condition of the specific dwelling. You can rent a room, a flat or a single-family house.
Rooms, flats or houses from private landlords are often found through web portals online.
It is also possible to find accommodation through a housing association (boligforening). The rent in a housing association is typically lower than for other types of rental accommodation, but they are usually let out on the basis of a waiting list.
Subletting is quite common in Denmark and for many, the first place of residence is often a temporary one.
Before renting a home
Before renting a home you should inform yourself of the conditions and obligations concerning you as a tenant as well as the obligations of your landlord.
