Providing a CPR number (social security number) is not a requirement in BoligPortal's digital rental contract - it is entirely optional.
The tenant's CPR number is only used in connection with giving authorization – for example, when registering for electricity through one of BoligPortal's partners. Either the tenant or the landlord must enter the CPR number when registering for electricity.
If you don't want to register the tenant with a utility company, or if you want the tenant to enter it themselves, just leave the field blank.
Use CPR for automatic registration with a utility company
If you want to ensure that the tenant is registered with a utility company on time, you can advantageously use the automatic registration in the digital rental contract.
Under 'Forbrug' (consumption) find the paragraph 'Tilmeld lejer til el' (register tenant for electricity), select 'Mellem lejer og forsyningsselskab' (between tenant and utility company).

CPR number is required for the automatic registration. There are two methods to register the tenant with a utility company:
-
Leave the CPR field empty - tenant fills in themselves
If you have chosen automatic registration with a utility company and do not fill in the CPR number field, the tenant will need to enter their CPR number when signing the contract.
-
Fill in the CPR number in the digital rental contract
If you have obtained the tenant's consent, you can enter the CPR number directly in the digital rental contract under the 'Lejer' (tenant) section.
Note: The tenant's CPR number will not be visible in the final rental contract – it is used solely internally for authorization purposes.
