Information about the booking round Fall 2021
We recieve many questions about the next cooming booking round. Below you can find answers of the most common questions.
Before the Booking Round
The invitations will be sent out by email during the day of the booking round. The email will contain a link and login details to our booking system.
Remember always to check your spam filter and to check the email account you have applied with. If you are not sure which one you have applied with we recommend to check all your accounts and the spam filters.
During the Booking Round
Our system works on a first come, first served basis. Therefore, we can never guarantee any specific accomodations. If you do not see the desired accomodation in the system, then it is already booked. We recommend that you go into the booking system some days after the booking round, since some tenants make cancellations or new rooms might appear
After the Booking Round
The invitations will be sent out the 23rd of November 2021 within our office hours ( roughly between 9am- 4pm CET). Unfortunately, we can not give an exact time.
NB. if you are a student from other Universities than The University of Copenhagen
You may have read on our website that we send out invitations on 23rd of November 2021. This is true for members of those KU faculties and institutions that co-founded and finance the KU Housing Foundation. As you are a member of another faculty or institution, you would usually not be eligible for our services. We have decided to still invite you, but simply a day after eligible staff and students have received their invitation. You can read more about eligible faculties and institutions here:http://housingfoundation.dk/the-booking-system/who-is-eligible/
This year we have chosen not to rent about shared rooms (A+B) rooms due to Covid-19 concerns. If you want to live with a friend or partner you can book a 2-persons room. Please have in mind that it is mandatory to make the household application if you book a 2-persons room. You can read more here
When making your booking you will be required to pay 8.000 DKK for deposit and 3 months of rent. Please have in mind that if you book a social housing dorm( Øresundskollegiet, Tietgen kollegiet and Signalhuset kollegiet) you will also pay Administration and handling fee + service fee. You can read more abou the payment procedure here
You can also see our fee list here
If you have made a booking with an immediate start date, you must contact us the same day and explicitly inform us that you wish to cancel the booking.
You can read more about immediate bookings, and what to keep in mind, in the booking manual.
When you make a booking that starts in more than 14-days, you have a ‘cooling off’ period (of 14-days) where you can terminate your booking.
If the booking starts within 14-days, the cooling off period lasts until the rental period begins.
You can find more information about cancellations in the booking manual under ‘cancellation of booking’.
It is not possible to cancel your booking after the rental period has begun, even if you have not moved in yet.
Students who wish to cancel their booking can instead make a shortening offer, however there is no guarantee that it will be accepted. You can read more about shortening offers in our booking manual under ‘Making a shortening offer’.
Staff members who wish to shorten their contracts can do so if they give the proper notice of 3 months + the running calendar month. You can read more about shortening your contract in the booking manual under ‘shortening’.
The Covid-19 regulations regarding travels are regularly changing, and often depend on where you are travelling from. We therefore ask that you refer to the Danish Health Authorities and Government’s webpages for direct information regarding your situation.

We always recommend our tenants to take out insurance before their stay abroad, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. It is our experience that insurance has been helpful for previous tenants.
