Do you pay too much in rent?
In Denmark there are rules for how much a landlord can take in rent. Yet there are more than 100,000 tenants who pay too much in rent. Sometimes by the landlord himself, the rent is fixed too high. This is because the rules for rent setting are complex and difficult to understand.
Do I always have a claim to get my rent reduced?
The answer is not easy to give. However, as a starting point, it must be said that the main rules on rent-fixing are applied only to homes built before 1991. This is because the Folketing has wanted to
accommodate new building on the idea that more housing would be built if they are not subject to strict requirements for rental fees. There are different methods of determining the rent, and these depend on the nature of the home. If your home is built after 1991, you can only get a reduction on
your rent in a few cases.
