Finding a new apartment can be a challenge, and it doesn’t get easier when there are so many accomodation websites to choose between. We have tried to help you with an overview of some of the sites.
Get help finding your new apartment
It can be overwhelming to find a new home. The good places are in great demand, especially if you want to live in a central location in the bigger cities. Even though it can be a jungle to find the right apartment, we have made it more manageable by creating an overview of some of the most popular sites.
Boligportal.dk
The majority knows this site with good reason. It is one of the accomodation sites with most available rentals, and it is often used by accomodation hunters. It can be difficult to get hold of the attractive apartments as they get snatched really fast.
One of the catches with Boligportal.dk (and most other accommodation sites actually) is that you need a membership to be able to contact the landlords. It can, however, be worth it. They offer 4 trial days for 29 kroner where after it costs 298 kroner per month.
Good advice
- Make sure to fill out your profile with your wishes and a presentation of yourself. You become more attractive to landlords and sometimes the accommodations are not listed on the site – the landlords simply contact potential tenants.
- Create a Search Agent. By doing this you get an email every time a new apartment matches your wishes, and you are then able to contact the landlord as one of the first ones.

Lejebolig.dk
Another option is Lejebolig.dk which is also of the bigger players on the market. They aim for simplicity, which they certainly live up to. It is very easy to find your way around the site, and the filter search options makes it easy to adjust the different parameters.
It is a very clear overview of the apartments, the overall information and a brief introduction of the tenancy. However, the same does for this site as the previous one. You need to be a member to get contact information, but luckily they only charge 28 kroner per month.
