On BoligPortal, you can rent out your property that is for sale. However, it is a requirement that all of the following rules are followed before your advertisement with a property for sale is approved:

  • The rental period must be limited to a maximum of 3 months.
  • The ad must clearly state that the property is for sale – both in the title and description.
  • The ad may not specify the sale price or link to a sales ad.
  • The ad may not contain requirements for purchasing.
  • The ad may not include demands that the tenant should prepare the property for viewing.


Note: There are special rules regarding tenant termination in a sold property.

As a general rule, selling a property is not a valid reason to terminate a tenancy. However, as a landlord, you can terminate the tenant with 12 months' notice if you, as the owner, intend to live in the property yourself.

When selling, the new buyer is required to become the landlord of the property. If the new buyer wishes to live in the rental unit themselves, a 12-month notice period also applies in this case.
