Home Insurance

It can be a challenge to make ends meet as a student on a tight budget. Therefore, some may choose to forgo insurance altogether, which puts all your belongings in your home at risk. It is a risk not worth taking, as accidents and damage to items, electronics can happen to anyone – and it just gives peace of mind to be well insured.

As a student member of IDA, you can get Home Insurance for 0 kr. throughout your studies + 1 year after graduation.

The Danish Rent Act FAQ

Get answers to the most important areas of the tenancy law that may affect your situation when you move into your own home. When you have a contract in hand, it is good to have a basic knowledge of the tenancy law – this also ensures against disputes and, in the worst case, fraud.

The rules of tenancy legislation are complicated and in many areas not always transparent. The rules can be difficult for most people to understand and handle in practice. This FAQ informs you about a number of issues that are relevant to you as a tenant.

The FAQ is a guide so that the landlord and tenant can find information about what is generally applicable – as a basis for seeking further information or advice where needed.
