*IMPORTANT NOTE: Please note that private housing companies almost always will keep a part of your deposit when you leave the accommodation to renovate the whole room including floors and walls. Pay attention to ¡ì11 in the rental contract that you receive to sign. To have a better idea of the total sum of your accommodation through private housing companies, we, therefore, recommend you calculate all-inclusive rent per month":
Calculate 20-60% of the deposit that you need to pay, divide this sum by the amount of months that you rent your room and add the result on top of the rent per month. In this way you can adjust your expectations and prepare your budget in a safer way - renting through commercial housing companies is expensive. Always inquire about this first at the housing company.

Often people or families rent out a room in their private house or apartment.

Students also start their own co-livings, to share costs and thus making it possible to rent a whole apartment that otherwhise would be too expensive to rent alone. Co-living is very usual in Denmark. Often co-living provides shared housing for people with similar values or intentions. When you inquire to rent a room in a shared house it is therefore important to make an application that includes a bit about your background, interests and wishes.?

You will live closely together with others, mostly sharing both kitchen and bathroom facilities. Some hosts have very specific expectations regarding privacy and tidiness.?

To find a co-living availability in Copenhagen, your network is king. Offers are posted on SoMe so friends of friends are reached and can share the offers. As a newly arriving student in Copenhagen this is challenging as you first will need to build your local network. We encourage you to research actively and connect through SoMe.?

The following website Study In Denmark also lists online platforms where individuals offer rooms and apartments for rent. Most of the platforms will charge you a small fee to access contact details.
