Free, no obligation. Answer within 24 hours.
Skip the Facebook groups and time-wasting enquiries. We find reliable tenants for your home and manage the tenancy from the first viewing to the day the tenant moves out.
We advertise your home on our own homes-to-rent page and in our network, and home seekers on our list are told when a home matches what they are looking for.
Every home on the page shows the rent, the deposit and the full cost of moving in, and tenants book a viewing themselves. The list is our own: home seekers sign up themselves and get a summary every morning, or an instant alert with BY Direkte. You never have to answer enquiries or hold viewings yourself.
Structured screening with income verification, references and background checks where lawful. Everyone is screened before they come to a viewing.
We look at income, references from previous landlords and ability to pay, and every applicant is assessed on the same criteria. What we may ask is limited by data protection and anti-discrimination rules.
Sound agreements and processes that comply with the Danish Rent Act and protect both you and your tenant.
Danish rent law decides much of the content, from the rent to the deposit, notice and adjustments. A mistake in the lease can make a term invalid, so it pays to get it right from the start.
We collect the deposit and rent, follow up on payments and handle late payments professionally and by the rules, so your income stays steady and predictable.
The deposit and the prepaid rent may each be at most three months’ rent. We collect both before move-in and follow up under the rent act if rent is not paid.
Structured inspections with written and photo documentation. They make the condition of the home clear, protect your claim on the deposit and reduce disputes.
Inspections and reports must happen within fixed deadlines, or you can lose the right to claim for repairs. We keep track of the deadlines and document the condition of the home with photos.
We coordinate routine and urgent maintenance and repairs and make sure the work is documented.
Maintenance is billed separately, and the work is documented, so you can see what was done.
We set the rent from current market data and local knowledge of your area, so it sits where the market is and within the limits of Danish rental law. That gives you a stable return, fewer empty months and a tenant who stays.
If the market changes, we adjust by the rules, not by gut feeling. Want to see what your home could rent for? Try the rent calculator.
Calculate your rentWe help private and professional landlords with owner-occupied flats, houses and co-op apartments (andelsboliger), from a single home to a whole portfolio.
If you are moving abroad for a while, we rent out your home while you are away and look after the tenant, so you do not have to manage it all from a distance.
With a fixed-term lease you know when you get the home back. The time limit must be justified by your circumstances and written into the lease, or it does not apply.
If you need to move before the sale goes through, a fixed-term rental can bring in income during the transition instead of leaving the home empty.
We have helped owners do exactly that: earn from the home while it is for sale, instead of paying for an empty flat.
If you own several units, we scale the service to the size of your portfolio, with the same processes and the same reporting.
You get the same reporting for all your tenancies, and if you are thinking of buying more, we go through the rules, the rent and the costs with you before you buy.
We rent out and manage every tenancy with the same processes and the same reporting, whether you have one home or several. The fee is the same for each tenancy, and it is on our pricing page.
In Mit BY (in Danish) you follow all your homes on one login, with the lease period, rent, lease and statements for each home. If you own the homes through several companies, or both privately and through a company, you see each customer number separately on the same page.
We rent out homes across Copenhagen and Frederiksberg. The rules, the housing figures and what sets your area apart are on the pages about Frederiksberg, Østerbro, Vesterbro, Nørrebro, Amager, Indre By, Christianshavn, Islands Brygge, Nordvest and Brønshøj, Valby and Sydhavn. Or see all the districts.

Get startedAs local property owners, we know what it takes to manage a tenancy efficiently and safely. We have done it all ourselves, from day one to handing the keys to your next tenant.
We comply fully with Danish rental law and protect both you and your tenant with sound agreements and processes.
The rent act has fixed rules on rent, deposits, notice and inspections, and a mistake can cost you money or void a claim. We follow the rules at every step, from lease to move-out.
We use our network to find financially secure, respectful tenants with good references and a stable income, who pay on time and look after your home.
A good tenant matters more than anything else in a long-term rental. That is why we take time over the choice before anyone gets a lease.
Clear communication and reports on finances, maintenance and how your property is performing, monthly or quarterly, so you are always informed.
The reports show payments, costs and maintenance, so you have the figures ready when the tax on your rental income is worked out.

Long-term rental means renting out your home to the same tenant for a longer period, typically more than three months at a time. With us it covers the whole process: choosing the tenant, setting the rent, move-in and move-out inspections, tenant communication, rent collection, maintenance, documentation and financial reporting.
We run a structured tenant screening with income verification, references and background checks where lawful. Everyone is screened before they come to a viewing. The aim is financially stable, respectful tenants who pay on time, look after your home and are right for a longer tenancy.
The rent is set from current market data and within the limits Danish rental law sets for your particular home. Where it is allowed, we adjust the rent openly and by the Danish rules. That means a fair rent, fewer empty months and a stable income over time. You can run the numbers yourself in our rent calculator.
Yes. We carry out structured move-in and move-out inspections with written and photo documentation. This protects your claim on the deposit, reduces disputes and makes the condition of the home, wear and tear and the tenant’s responsibilities under Danish rental law clear to everyone.
Yes. We work with private landlords and with investors who own several units. The service scales with the size of the portfolio, with the same processes, the same reporting and the same care that the rules are followed, whether you own one apartment or many.
We handle the whole process: dealing with the notice, the move-out inspection, documentation and getting the home ready to rent out again, always in line with Danish rental law. The aim is to keep the home empty for as short a time as possible, without you having to deal with the practicalities.
Because local expertise matters in rental management. Rental rules, the market and enforcement all have their own character in Copenhagen. A local manager makes sure the rules are followed, solves problems faster and gets better results for both landlord and tenant. We know the city, from Indre By and Vesterbro to Nørrebro and Amager.
The price is simple: 8.5% excl. VAT of the monthly rent, which over a year equals 8.5% excl. VAT of 12 months’ rent. VAT is added to the fee. If the rent is subject to VAT, for example because the landlord has voluntarily registered the letting of a commercial lease for VAT, the fee is calculated on the rent excl. VAT. Given the risk of costly mistakes, the workload and fewer empty months, it is a small price for never having to manage it all alone. We earn when you earn.
