The rental contract describes the agreement between landlord and tenant. Therefore, it is important that all information regarding the tenancy is thoroughly described.

In the rental contract, you can specify the mutual obligations between you and the tenant. This provides the best conditions for a good cooperation.

 

A standard rental contract includes:

  • Tenant's and landlord's names and addresses
  • Address of the rental property, its size, inventory, condition, and usage rights

  • Information about the tenancy: start date, possible end date, rent, deposit, prepaid rent, payment terms, and utilities

  • Rules for maintenance, repair upon vacating, pets, and house rules

It's always a good idea to have a written rental contract with your landlord. Here, you should use a standard rental contract in the version called 'Typeformular A, 10. udgave' (Standard Form A, 10th edition').
