    FIGUR

    In short, most of the rent is spent on paying on the loans that we establish when we build the villages. Normally real estate projects have 30 year mortages with low interest rates. However, as we are renting land for 10 years, we currently have 10 year loans with high interest rates. We are working to solve this fundamental barrier to our mission of ensuring affordable housing.

    *Students from Denmark and EU-citizens are entitled to rental subsidies. The exact amount will be calculated individually. Read more right here.

    Deposit: 16.215 DKK (3 x rent)

    Prepaid rent*: 16.215 DKK (3 x rent)

  • We try to make our villages a place where you can meet people from all walks of life. That is why we choose new villagers based on student background and interests. Not just your number on the list.

  • We recommend that you send us your application around 3-4 months before you wish to move in. We open for new villagers as soon as space opens up. Relevant applicants are invited to confirm their interest in moving in by email.

  • You can edit your application by sending it again, using the same email as the last time.

  • Since there are probably still someone living in your future apartment, you will not be able to see your apartment. However, we have made video tours that we send out once we have an available student home for you.

    You are of course very welcome to stop by the Village and look around for a bit.
