Scam risk
Information symbol.
At Remoters, we no longer count the number of French people who have signed a rental contract abroad, without understanding it. Some unscrupulous sellers take advantage of this to insert conditions that are disadvantageous for the tenant. This cannot happen when the contract is reviewed by our home finder.

Aarhus 300 EUR 800 EUR

The monthly cost of student housing in Aarhus is made up of several items. Rent is the main one: a room at Business Academy Aarhus costs 310 to 805 EUR/month depending on the residence, and AU's student residences show rents of around 400 to 700 EUR/month, charges included. These are ballpark figures.

  • Deposit: the Danish Rent Act (Lejeloven) caps it at 3 months' rent, and up to 3 months of prepaid rent can be added: 6 months' rent at most to advance.
  • AU Housing fee: 600 DKK (about 80 EUR), non-refundable when you accept a room.
  • Move-in inspection: you have 14 days to report extra defects in writing.
  • CPR number and MitID: needed for many procedures and requested by many landlords.

TL;DR: Aarhus is Denmark's second city, with more than 25,000 students at Aarhus University, which has no halls of residence. A room costs 310 to 805 EUR/month. Join waiting lists early, plan for a CPR number and a deposit of up to 3 months' rent. Popular areas: Trøjborg, the centre and Frederiksbjerg.

Looking for student housing in Aarhus takes method. Aarhus is Denmark's second city, on the east coast of Jutland, and life revolves around Aarhus University, VIA University College and Business Academy Aarhus. The rental market is very tight and student residence waiting lists are long. This guide covers the suitable areas, typical budgets, Danish lease rules and the steps to plan ahead so you can settle in without unpleasant surprises.

Aarhus is Denmark's second city, on the east coast of Jutland, with more than 25,000 students at Aarhus University, not counting VIA University College and Business Academy Aarhus. The university has no halls of residence: students use independent kollegier, the private market or the AU Housing service. A room costs 310 to 805 EUR/month. The most popular areas are Trøjborg, the centre (Latinerkvarteret) and Frederiksbjerg. Plan for a CPR number, a deposit of up to 3 months' rent and up to 3 months of prepaid rent.

Looking for student housing in Aarhus takes method. Aarhus is Denmark's second city, on the east coast of Jutland, and life revolves around Aarhus University, VIA University College and Business Academy Aarhus. The rental market is very tight and student residence waiting lists are long. This guide covers the suitable areas, typical budgets, Danish lease rules and the steps to plan ahead so you can settle in without unpleasant surprises.

A student rental budget in Aarhus covers rent, utilities when not included, a deposit of up to 3 months' rent, any prepaid rent, any booking fees and transport to campus.

On rents, allow 310 to 805 EUR/month for a room in a residence or shared housing, and more for a studio or flat in town. The market is tight: the vacancy rate is very low, so start early. Budget too for the deposit (up to 3 months' rent), any prepaid rent (up to 3 months) and the paperwork for your housing file.

The most common mistake students make when looking for housing in Aarhus is starting too late. The market is very tight, residences have waiting lists and the university does not house its students. Another classic trap is transferring a deposit before a viewing, on a copied listing or a "landlord abroad". Finally, many discover too late that they need a CPR number for most procedures.

  • Register early: most residences run waiting lists. Student Housing Aarhus lets you sign up six months before your studies start.
  • Don't count on AU to house you: the university has no halls; AU Housing offers only a limited number of rooms to some international students, for 2 semesters at most.
  • Understand the deposit: up to 3 months' rent as deposit and 3 months prepaid, so 6 months at most.
  • Prepare your CPR number and MitID: without a registered address the CPR is hard to get and many landlords ask for it; go through an International Citizen Service or the municipality.
  • Read the contract: the tenant's notice period is generally 3 months; check it in the contract.
  • Report defects on arrival: you have 14 days to do so in writing, with photos.
  • Never transfer money before a viewing: a "landlord abroad", emails imitating a platform and a deposit requested before a visit are the classic scams.

Because they search, view and check on your behalf while you are still far away. In Aarhus, the rental market is very tight: the vacancy rate is around 1.5% and well-located homes go within days.

Your home finder knows the neighbourhoods, from Midtbyen to Trøjborg and Frederiksbjerg, views homes with photos or video and gives you detailed feedback. You never pay for a home that nobody has seen.

They review your lease and explain every clause before you sign. The deposit can reach 3 months' rent, the landlord may ask for up to 3 months' rent in advance on top, with no more than 6 months in total. The tenant's notice period is generally 3 months, to be checked in the contract.

They also help you prepare your file, understand the CPR number and MitID with no promise on timing, and record defects in the move-in report within 14 days.

Yes. Aarhus is a university city, with more than 25,000 students, but the university has no residences of its own and student residences (kollegier) keep waiting lists. A room in a shared flat rents for roughly €360 to €740 a month, a place in a residence €400 to €700 with charges included.

Your home finder looks for a room or studio, views homes for you and helps you rule out dubious listings.

A home finder based locally who speaks your language and runs the search for you. They search through letting agents, landlords and local platforms, view homes with photos or video, help you put your file together and review the lease, as set out in the quote.
