The good rental process
A good rental process follows the flow below. But remember that the responsibility for the process being good and that you are not cheated is your own. We recommend that you always get legal help. Remember never to transfer money for the deposit in these situations.
The process:
1: You find one or more homes that suit your wishes.
2: You contact the accommodation provider and have the accommodation shown.
3: If you agree with the housing provider, they must send you a tenancy agreement.
4: Read the lease thoroughly and have a lawyer read it too before you sign. You must, among other things, pay close attention to whether the tenancy is taken over repaired or unrepaired, as this can have a major impact on the costs you will be charged when you move out later.
5: Check if the landlord also owns the property. The information can often be found on public websites on the Internet.
6: If the housing provider is himself a tenant in the property, it is not certain that he may sublet it to you. Ask the housing provider to document their permission to sublet the apartment.
7: If the housing provider wants to rent out an apartment that he himself owns, it is not certain that he will be allowed to do this without further ado. Check the housing association's statutes. Here you will be able to see any reservations regarding the rental right.
8: Once both you and the housing provider have signed the lease, you will typically have a number of days to transfer the deposit. You should only transfer the money to a Danish bank here.
9: Remember to make a clear agreement with the housing provider about the transfer. When can you move in? When will you get the keys? etc. etc.
