We rent out all houses, including yours

Do you need help renting out a villa or house? There are several ways to go about it. First, you need to decide whether you want to handle everything yourself or whether you want to use a broker specialising in house rental, either for all or part of the process.

When a house is rented out, it involves, among other things:

Marketing and commercialisation

The property is marketed via specific and targeted channels to reach the right tenant profiles. This is always agreed individually.

Dialogue with potential tenants

Respond to enquiries and distinguish between serious, frivolous, good profiles and less good profiles.

Viewing a house

Showcase to potential tenants - this can be any day of the week and at peak times.

Drawing up a rental contract

Drafting the rental contract - with any additions from the tenant and landlord.

Payment overview

Manage deposits and rent payments and ensure they are received on time.

Move-in inspection

Carry out a move-in inspection where the condition of the property is documented in writing and photos are taken of everything.

Dialogue with the tenant

Answer questions from the tenant during the process.

Dealing with challenges

Manage any challenges in the tenancy along the way. A distinction must be made between the tenant's and landlord's maintenance obligations.

Consumption accounting

If consumption is paid on account, the tenant is entitled to an annual consumption statement.

Relocation inspection

Carry out a move-out inspection to decide whether the tenant should be liable for works in the lease.

Security deposit

Refund of deposit if the parties agree.

Communication afterwards

Possible repercussions regarding deposit and default in the lease.

If you have the time, desire and skills to do the above, you're well equipped to rent out your house.

If you'd rather let a professional rental agency handle all or part of your house rental, LejeMægleren is ready to help. We have a large network of professional tenants who need houses for rent throughout Denmark. The tenants are typically foreigners who are posted to Denmark for a limited period of time, and we work with various companies, embassies and organisations to help their employees find the right house, townhouse or apartment.

Do I need to renovate before renting out my house?

There are no fixed guidelines for renovation, but we always recommend painting walls, ceilings and skirting boards. This makes the house look more attractive and you are sure to get it back in the same condition. If the house is rented "as is", you should expect it to be returned in the same condition, subject to normal wear and tear. Naturally, we always enter into a dialogue with the landlord about this and provide individual guidance.

Furnished or unfurnished?

When faced with a potential house rental, you can either empty the house or offer the property furnished. When renting out a fully furnished house, you should expect the tenant to arrive with a suitcase in hand and move in. This means that there must be all basic furnishings:

In addition, it's an advantage to have simple Nordic-style furnishings, as this has the broadest appeal. On the other hand, we also experience other preferences from other parts of the world, so it's difficult to make a definitive list.

There are tenants for both furnished and unfurnished properties, but if you're renting for less than a year, it's typically an advantage to rent furnished. Conversely, the biggest market for unfurnished properties is for periods ranging from 2 years and more.

If you want sparring or advice about renting out your house, you are welcome to write or call, and we will start a dialogue about your specific property.
