According to the Danish Rental Act, the termination notice is three months from the end of a month – for both the landlord and tenant. This means that if you terminate your lease February 20th, your contract will end on May 31st.
You can move out any time you want during the three months notice, however the latest is 14 days before your contractual date – in the example May 31st is the contractual end-date.
Based on the actual move-out date that you fill in, DIS will try to find a new tenant as soon as possible after. The earliest possible day for e new tenant to take over the contract, is 15 days prior to your move-out date. That is to allow DIS the first two weeks to do any repairs or painting that might be needed to prepare the room for the next person.
So you will continue to pay rent after you´ve moved out until a new tenant takes over, or at the latest till the contractual end-date.
The termination period can however never be guaranteed to be shorter.
So you should always expect to be financially responsible for the rent during the entire termination period – which means that you may be paying double rent for a period.
Moving Out After Graduation
After you’ve completed your studies, you must terminate and vacate your Kollegium room based on the same timeline and process noted above. DIS must be informed at the latest by the end of the current month of your last exam, using the Contract Termination form on your DIS-portal.
If you drop out of your studies/are no longer studying, and therefore must vacate your Kollegium room, the same process applies.
