Difficulties (un)locking your door?

Your lock may require you to turn the handle upwards.

Please, press the door handle upwards with one hand while you turn the lock with the other hand.

What to bring or buy

We advise you to bring or buy:

  • Duvet and pillow if you do not wish to use the left-behind ones*
  • Duvet- and pillow covers** 
  • Towels, dishcloths and kitchen towels
  • Hand soap, dish soap, cleaning supplies and toilet paper (some residences provide this)
  • Internet router and cable if relevant (find more information on the residence specific page) 
  • Decorations to make it feel like home (be aware that not all residences allow drilling in the wall)

* For environmental reasons, we ask our departing tenants to leave behind their duvet and pillow. You are free to use these items, if you bring a duvet- and pillow cover. If you do not wish to use the left-behind duvet and pillow, we encourage you to bring your own.

**Tenants at Teknologkollegiet are provided with a duvet and pillow, and it is therefore mandatory to bring a duvet- and pillow cover.

What not to bring or buy:

All rooms offered via AU Housing have basic furniture such as a bed, a table, a chair, a lamp and storage. Additionally we will provide you with a mattress protector and a bed sheet. 

Your kitchen will be equipped with basic kitchen utensils such as forks, knives, spoons, plates, glasses, cups, pot(s) and pan(s). We do not provide kitchen equipment such as coffee machines, rice cookers, boilers or similar. If you need this type of equipment, you must buy or bring it. 

Remember your key and keep it safe

When leaving your room and residence, please remember to bring your key. Do not leave your key in your room as the door might automatically lock behind you.

If you lose your key during work hours, please contact AU Housing (housing@au.dk). If you lose your key outside work hours, we advise you to seek advice from your caretaker, landlord or fellow dorm- or housemates. Sometimes, relevant information is provided close to the entrances.

Be aware that it might be cheaper for you to stay in a hostel or similar for one night rather than contacting a locksmith as it can be very expensive.

Please also note, that if you lose your key and cannot return it when moving out, you will be charged up to 6000 DKK to cover the costs of changing the lock.

You can cancel your housing up to 14 days after the date you accepted the housing offer. Cancellations made after 14 days will not be refunded. 

Cancellation must be sent to housing@au.dk.
