The residence requirement and empty homes
The rules on the residence requirement (bopælspligt) only apply to homes that are, or within the last five years have been, used as year-round homes. A newly built home in Indre By therefore only becomes subject to the requirement once it is taken into use as a year-round home, typically shown by registering residence there. Under planning law, the municipality cannot require that someone actually lives in a home.
Once a home does have a residence requirement, it must not stand empty for more than six weeks without being reported to the municipality. That also applies in Indre By, where Copenhagen Municipality handles around 3,000 cases a year across the whole city about homes that have stood empty longer than that.
