Accommodation for exchange students

Finding accommodation for students in Denmark is generally quite challenging. Danish students usually live in private or rented flats, rooms or in dorms or residence halls (called ¡®kollegium¡¯ in Danish).

In Denmark, it is common to pay a deposit of the amount of approximately three months¡¯ rent when you are making a mutual signed rental lease. You will get the deposit back upon moving out unless anything has been damaged. It is also common to have three months¡¯ notice for terminating a lease agreement.

Apartments and rooms are usually rented out without furniture. However, you can apply specifically for rooms with furniture via different platforms ¨C just note that there are significantly fewer furnished rentals and that they are more expensive. If you need to buy furniture, you can find cheaper furniture in local second-hand shops.

Due to the housing situation it is therefore essential that your accommodation has been secured before you arrive in Denmark.
