Is a verbal agreement enough when renting a property?

A verbal rental agreement is legal, but it can be difficult to prove its terms if disputes arise between tenant and landlord.

At BoligPortal, we always recommend creating a written rental contract that both tenant and landlord sign. This provides a clear reference for the agreement and legal protection in case of disagreements.

If the landlord refuses to create a rental contract, it could be a sign of fraud. Therefore, we always encourage our landlords to draft a rental contract when they list their property with us.

BoligPortal also offer a free, digital rental contract – the legally binding Type A10 contract – that our landlords can use freely, and it is signed digitally using MitID for the security of both tenant and landlord.
