Nørrebro in figures
Nørrebro has more co-operative homes (andelsboliger) than any other district in Copenhagen, and half of its homes have one or two rooms.

- owner homes that are not rented out

Owner homes are privately owned homes that the owner uses or that stand empty. Freehold apartments (ejerlejligheder) that are rented out count as private rental homes, which make up 25.9% of the homes.
Small apartments and young newcomers
Nørrebro is one of the places young people choose when they move to Copenhagen. Of the just over 23,000 young people aged 20 to 29 who moved to the city in 2024, 13% moved to Nørrebro. Half of the young newcomers moved into a shared home, typically in private rental.
If you want to rent out to several people who share the apartment, you can do so on one lease, for example to a flatshare, without permission from the municipality. If the rooms are let on separate leases, the home is being divided up. That requires a building permit and, if the home has a residence requirement (bopælspligt), also consent under the Housing Conditions Act (lov om boligforhold).
For short-term rental, location, listing and price matter more than the square metres. Read the article on how big an apartment should be.

Do you have a co-operative home in Nørrebro?
Four in ten homes in Nørrebro are co-operative homes (andelsboliger). Here is what matters most before you rent out yours.
Who decides whether I may rent it out?
The association. Its articles decide whether and how you may sublet, and whether you may rent to holiday guests. The City of Copenhagen points out that the articles of co-operative, owners’ and housing associations can be stricter than the law.
May I rent it out on Airbnb?
Only if the articles allow it, and only your own permanent home. Then the same limit applies as for everyone else: 70 days a year through platforms that report to the Danish Tax Agency (Skattestyrelsen), and 30 days without. The City of Copenhagen has not raised the limit to 100 days.
What if I have to be away for a while?
If you are going on exchange or working abroad, a long-term tenant for the period can be the solution, if the association approves it. We also rent out for co-op members who are going on exchange. Read the guide to renting out while you are abroad.
What about the residence requirement?
Homes in Copenhagen that have been used as permanent homes within the last five years have a residence requirement. If a home stands empty for more than six weeks after the last occupant moved out, the municipality must be told. Valid reasons for it standing empty include a sale, renovation and a new tenant who moves in later.
General information, not legal advice. Always check the association’s articles and the municipality’s rules before you decide.

Which pays more?
Short-term rental can often bring in a higher gross income, but the result depends on location, season and standard. Read about wear and tear with the two types, and whether it makes financial sense to rent out.

What does it cost to have an apartment in Nørrebro rented out?
You pay 8.5% of the monthly rent including VAT when we handle a long-term rental, and 17% of rental income for Airbnb management. Cleaning, linen, supplies and maintenance are billed separately at cost or agreed rates. There are no hidden fees.
May I rent out rooms in my apartment in Nørrebro?
If you live in the apartment yourself and rent out a couple of rooms, you do not need permission from the municipality. Nor do you if you rent out the whole apartment on one lease, for example to a flatshare. If the rooms are let on separate leases, you need a building permit and possibly consent under the Housing Conditions Act.
See the City of Copenhagen’s rules (in Danish)Can I rent out my apartment in Nørrebro while it is for sale?
Yes. We help owners who want to rent out for a period while their home is for sale, so it brings in income instead of standing empty. If it stands empty for more than six weeks after the last occupant moved out, the municipality must be told, but a sale is one of the reasons you can be given time.
How many days may I rent out on Airbnb in Nørrebro?
Up to 70 days a year if it is your own permanent home and all your rentals go through platforms that report the rental income to the Danish Tax Agency, such as Airbnb and Booking.com. Otherwise the limit is 30 days. Days are counted per calendar year and per home, across platforms.
Read about Airbnb managementHow quickly can my apartment go live on Airbnb?
Once you have accepted the management agreement, your listing is typically live on several platforms within 48 hours. Many get their first bookings a few working days later, depending on season, price level and location. You get a personal estimate of what the apartment could bring in within 24 hours.
