Long-term accommodation
If you have specific wishes for your accommodation in Copenhagen, or require housing for a time that does not fit into the pre-fixed housing periods, we recommend that you search for accommodation on your own.
There are many opportunities to find privately owned accommodation in Copenhagen. This can be in the form of rooms or apartments let out directly by individual property owners, or sublet by their tenants, as well as rooms or apartments let out by property rental companies.
We have compiled a number of useful resources that can help you on your way to finding your next home.

Since it can be very difficult to find accommodation in Copenhagen we advise you to start early.
As everywhere, from time to time students are cheated by fictitious landlords. Be aware of offers that seem ‘too good to be true’, and preferably you should ask a local friend to check the lease before transferring rent and deposit.
