CPR application for partners and family members
If you are staying in a 2-person room or apartment, you are allowed to have another person live in the household with you. In order for members of your household (other than you) to apply for CPR registration, we need to approve of them first. This is because only partners, spouses, and family members may share an address for CPR application, according to the Danish law. If a friend or roommate lives with you and they are not our tenants, they need a Housing Confirmation to apply for the CPR number. Before we can fill out the Housing Confirmation you must fill in the Household Application Form and bring it to our office along with all listed parties. All of you should bring your IDs. Then we can check your details and sign the Housing Confirmation.

Please find an example of a signed household application here.

Can I get 2 sets of keys when booking a 2-person room?

Yes, you can get a second set of keys if you have a person living in the 2-person room with you. Before picking up your second set of keys you must both come to our office with your official picture ID and sign the Household Application. Once the Household Application has been signed you can get your second key.

If you are thinking about sharing an apartment rented from the Housing Foundation with another person, it is important to read the following text.

Who may live with you in your apartment/room and take address there?
You will receive a paper to clarify who is allowed to stay in the apartment with you. The paper also says how many people are allowed to live in the apartment/room and what you must do when a person moves in.

You must also be aware of the fact, that if a person wants to move in into your apartment/room and apply for a CPR number, the Local Authority (e.g. Copenhagen Municipality) will contact the Housing Foundation asking us to confirm if we permit that person to take up an address with you. In this paper, we also describe the procedure we follow in such a situation.

Only members of your household are according to the Rental Act § 26 allowed to move in and take address at your apartment. Household includes your family and other close relationship.

A person with whom you have no other relationship than you have decided to share an apartment/room is not a member of your household and can therefore not move in and take address. If you let the person move in anyway it is subletting, and according to your contract you are never allowed to sublet. If you are subletting, you are acting against your contract and can be sanctioned for violation of your contract.

If you are not sure, about a person being accepted as a member of your household you are always welcome to contact the Housing Foundation.

How many persons can get permission to stay in the apartment and take address there?                                         
We rent out one-person rooms, shared rooms, 2-person rooms, and family apartments.

When you rent a “single rooms” room or apartment, normally no one but the contract holder may stay and take address here.

Some of our “single rooms” apartments are also advertised in the booking system as suitable for two roommates who each rent directly from us (as an “A/B shared apartment”). This means that there are two contract holders. In that case the other person does not have to be part of your household.

“2-person” rooms or apartments have a size that makes it possible for a household of two persons to live there. “Family apartments” are designed for families of more than two people.

For any other apartments, according to Housing Regulation act § 52a, we are not allowed to rent an apartment out to more than two persons per livable room (not including kitchen, bathroom etc.) and they shall all be members of the contract holders household. If we ask for it, you are obligated to inform us about the size of your household and each person’s relationship to you.
