As a landlord on BoligPortal, you can easily and securely collect rent from your tenants – no matter how many you have. You set up and manage your rent collection on your BoligPortal profile under 'Rent collection'.
You can either collect rent manually via bank transfer reconciliation or collect rent automatically via Betalingsservice (PBS).
How to set up rent collection on BoligPortal
- Go to 'Rent collection' on your profile and click on 'Setup rent'
- Click on the rental property on the list that you want to set up rent collection for, or create a new one by clicking '+ Create rentable'
If you need to create a new rental property on BoligPortal first, you can follow this guide.
- Select the tenancy in the drop-down menu or add a new one
The tenancy refers to the tenant(s) renting your property and therefore responsible for paying rent.
If you have already registered a tenant for the rental in the system — e.g., in connection with the rental contract — your tenant will automatically appear as an option.
- Choose whether you want to collect rent via bank transfer or Betalingsservice
Note that you can only choose Betalingsservice if you already have a business account with Betalingsservice and have linked it to your rent collection via BoligPortal.

- Enter the respective amounts for rent, utilities, and any additional charges
The 'Rent' field will automatically be added in this step as the only one.
→ Add new fields by clicking '+ Add amount' (e.g., parking, laundry, etc.)
→ Rename the entries in the name column if needed
→ Delete fields by clicking the trash can icon
→ See the total monthly rent, including all costs, under 'Total'
- Enter the payment dates for the rent collection
In the field 'First time the tenant paid/pays rent', note the date of the first payment.
Remember to consider if your tenant paid the first month's rent along with the deposit. In this case, you should enter the next month's date instead.
Prepaid rent (e.g., for 3 months) is used to cover rent costs for the final months the tenant resides in the rental property. It is not the same as the first month's rent, which is typically paid before moving in along with the deposit.
Prepaid rent is therefore only relevant for rent collection when your tenant moves out, and you need to stop the collection in the system.
- Enter your tenant's details
If you have already selected a tenancy at the start of the setup, these fields will be pre-filled with the relevant tenant's details.
If there is more than one tenant for the rental property, you can always add additional tenants by clicking the '+ Add tenant' button.
- Complete the setup by clicking on 'Save rent setup'.
You will then need to confirm your choices to finalize the setup and initiate the rent collection.
