Each house, room or appartment has a set of predefined rules which has been handed out when you moved in. If your copy has been lost, feel free to contact us!

 

As a general rule when living in our dorm-rooms are that we expect all tennats to agree internally on the details. We don't dictate when you tend the garden, clean the kitchen or wash the floors - however, we do expect the requirements of the house order and the contract to be met.

As a tennant, you are obliged to the following;

  • Parking is only allowed on the predefined spots
  • Pets are only allowed with a written approval from us
  • Dryers are to be emptied and cleaned after each use
  • Washing machines and soap drawer are to be kept clean  
  • Dishwashers are to be clean and have the filters cleansed weekly. Salt & rinse aid to be added as described in the manual
  • Drains in showers and kitchen are to be rinsed on a weekly basis w/ boiling water (and a bit of dish soap) to avoid clogging
  • Garbage is to be placed only in the bins. Larger pieces of garbage must be disposed by the tennant.
  • Gardens are to be kept tidy, hedges trimmed and sidewalks sweeped (and salted during winter)
  • All mail addressed to house owner or similar, with relevans for the owners, must immediately be forwarded to admin (at) don-ejendomme.dk as it can be important information regarding utilities or similar.

A faliure to comply with the above will result in a written warning initially and ultimately a repair/fixing at the tennants cost.

When moving in the typical process would be the following:

Pre-requisite:

Agree and recieve the final contract(s) in signed form and pay the deposit and rent

 

Step 1:

Arrange a date for moving in and conducting the handover walkthrough of the lease. On the day of the obligatory walkthrough, you will go through the room or appartment with a representative ensuring that everything is in order, functioning and as expected. This includes freshly painted, oiled floors, all power outlets, radiators and appliences are working etc.


Step 2:

Once step 1 is completed you will recieve the keys, a signed report of the initial state of the room/appartment and needed info to access wifi & tv.

 

We recommend that you document and photograf the interior thoroughly on the day of handover. And that you within the first week ensure to test all functionalities of your lease. In case that you should find something that does live up to your expectations, you must let us know within the first 14 days of your lease.

 

Furthermore, most of the houses have a shared Facebook group to coordinate activities - so reach out to your roomies or neighbours and be sure to join & participate.

Rent:

All rent is pre-paid each month, unless otherwise agreed in your contract. The rent must be paid from a danish bank account. If payments are made from a foreign bank, we will request an additional fee of DKK 100,- per payment. Rent is due on the first day of each month and the transfer must include your full name as a reference.

Deposit:

All our contracts follow the Danish legislation for rent and deposit, which can be found here (in Danish) - and we use a standard contract, where all extras are described in §11. So as the contract(s) will depend on your lease, be sure to verify all your details in your own contract they are individual. In general we require a deposit equal to 3 months rent and 1 month rent in pre-paid rent.

You will receive your deposit in full no later than 14 days after the inspection viewing, given that there is no need for repairs or work to be done. In cases where e.g. we have to initiate painting, we will do so, as fast as possible (depending on available craftsmen) after which you will receive the remainder of your deposit.

When moving out, there's a couple of things to keep in mind to ensure a smooth process and get as much of your deposit back as possible.

 

Step 1:

As a rule of thumb you have 3 months of notice when moving out, but we're often flexible and have a waiting list of possible tennants, so give us a ring or drop us an e-mail - also, make sure to check your contract for details.


Step 2:

The room or appartment must be left in the same state as when you moved in, so be sure to allow enough time to get this in order before the inspection. The following things are what's typically expected for both rooms and appartments;

  • Everything is freshly painted, incl. walls, ceiling & panels. (We can typically offer painting a room for ~2.500,- to 3.000,- depending on size and wear - appartments vary due to sizing).
  • Floors are oiled (as a minimum. If damage has been done to the floors, large chipping or severe dents, grinding/sanding is mandatory).
  • Windows are polished (inside & out).
  • All power outlets, window panes, radiators (also behind), cupboards, floor-panes, bathroom, mirrors polished, freezers defrosted, oven, fridge etc. are cleaned thoroughly.
  • Thorough vacuuming everywhere.
  • Remember to remove all your belongings, garbage etc. - this includes sheds, outdoor areas, lofts, basements etc.


Step 3:

Agree on a date for inspecting the room or appartment with us. On this date we'll go through the room or appartment verifying that everything is as expected and agreed in the contract. This inspection is mandatory and dictated by Danish law and we follow the same format as most other companies.

On the date of the inspection, we'll ensure that the painting and cleaning has been carried out and that power outlets, radiators, utilities, windows etc. all work as expected. Once completed you'll receive a signed form of handover and we'll receive the keys to the room or appartment.

Make sure to let us know your future address and account information for the return of your deposit.
