We unfortunately do not offer rental contracts in English. However, as a landlord on BoligPortal, you are free to use our digital rental contracts in Danish completely free of charge.

If your tenant is English-speaking, you can fill out and send the Danish rental contract via BoligPortal and attach an English translation as an appendix, so the tenant can see what they are signing.

It must be the Danish version that is signed if you want to use BoligPortal’s contract builder.

We offer the authorized and legally valid Typeformular A, 10th edition in Danish, which you can create, sign, and store on your BoligPortal account free of charge.

Note: Digital rental contracts on BoligPortal are exclusively offered in Danish, which is why images and some words in this guide appear in Danish.

 

What should I do in the rental contract if my tenant does not understand Danish?

If necessary, you can always attach an English version or translation of the rental contract so your tenant can read and understand what you are both signing. There are several English translations available that you can search for on Google, but unfortunately, BoligPortal does not offer one.

Important: If you attach an English version, it is crucial that this is only an annex or attachment to the official Danish version, and that the Danish Typeformular A10 is the one completed and signed by all parties.

 

What should I do in the rental contract if the tenant does not have a Danish address or phone number?

In the rental contract, you must enter various details about your tenant(s), including their current address. If the tenant does not have a Danish address or phone number, simply click on 'Lejer har ikke dansk adresse' under the 'Lejer' section in your rental contract template.

You can then add the tenant’s foreign address, including the country.

What should I do if the tenant does not have a Danish CPR number or MitID?

You can easily use and sign BoligPortal’s free digital rental contract even if your tenant does not have a Danish CPR number or MitID.

In the rental contract, you are only required to provide the tenant’s CPR number if a power of attorney is needed – for example, when registering with a utility provider.

If your tenant does not have a Danish CPR number, you must therefore select 'Lejer er selv ansvarlig for at tilmelde sig el' when registering for electricity under the 'Forbrug' section.

If the tenant does not have MitID, you must then choose signature 'Uden digital signatur (skriv under på skærmen)' under the 'Gennemse og færdiggør' section.
