Housing

There are several platforms and methods commonly used by students  to find housing in Denmark.

We will here provide some examples of places and platforms to use during your search for accommodation.

Private student housing

• Dormitories: Some dormitories accommodate exchange students – see for example Kollegiernes Kontor i København (KKIK). They might have dormitories available in Copenhagen or the surrounding areas.
• Student housing: There are several private students housing providers in Copenhagen, you can search for them on Google.

Rental platforms and groups

Here is some examples of different rental platforms and groups to use in your search.

• Facebook groups: A widely used platform in Denmark for finding housing, particularly for finding roommates, short-term rentals and sublets. Try to find relevant groups with searches such as: “Housing in Copenhagen”, “Rooms for rent Copenhagen”, “Lejebolig i København”, “Fremleje i KBH”.
• Findroommate: A Danish platform where you can create a profile and search for rooms, shared apartments, or potential roommates.
• Airbnb: Often used for temporary accommodation when you first arrive, while continuing your search for a more permanent solution.

Please note that availability is limited and application procedures vary depending on the provider.

Unfortunately, housing scams can occur.

Please take precautions:

• Never transfer money without proper documentation
• Avoid paying deposits before you have verified the landlord and the property
• Try to speak with the landlord (phone or video call)
• If possible, view the accommodation in person or have someone you trust do it for you
• Be cautious of offers that seem too good to be true

Before signing any contract, you have the right to:

• Request a version of the contract in English
• Take your time to fully understand the terms and conditions

We strongly recommend that you do not sign anything unless you fully understand the agreement.
