Your roommate might have moved in before your arrival and used the common areas. If this is the case, the common areas might not be as clean as they were when your roommate moved in.
We ask both of you to keep the common areas, such as the kitchen and bathroom, clean and tidy at all times. Please do not leave any dishes unwashed. It is your responsibility, in cooperation with your roommate, to clean the kitchen, fridge, oven, and bathroom weekly.

You are responsible for regular, careful and correct cleaning of your room and toilet (if you have one).

Cleaning of shared kitchen
The residents are responsible for keeping the kitchen clean and in order at all times. Dishes must be cleaned immediately after use. The stove top, oven, kitchen counters and utensils must be cleaned after use.
In Denmark, sorting and recycling waste and garbage is an everyday practice. By sorting our waste properly, we can contribute towards its reuse. Materials such as glass, plastic, metal, paper and small cardboard items can be recycled and transformed into new products.
Residual waste should always be disposed of in trash bags, securely tied with a knot.
Please ensure that you are familiar with the waste sorting process. If needed, you can ask the caretaker or your dorm mates to locate the appropriate containers.
"Pant" is a Danish system for recycling cans and bottles. Each time you buy drinks in cans or bottles with a deposit mark, you pay a deposit named 'pant'.
You get your deposit back by returning empty cans and bottles using reversed vending machines in your local supermarket.
The Danish deposit mark is a series of dots under two arrows in a circle. The letter in the deposit mark indicates how much you pay and therefore, how much you will get back when returning the bottle.
The furniture and kitchen equipment in your residence is provided by AU Housing.
If any of the furniture or kitchen equipment is missing or damaged when you move in, please contact AU Housing.
The furniture and kitchen equipment must be left in the same condition and quantity as when you moved in (except for normal wear and tear). If the furniture is left with damages, you will be charged the cost of replacement or repairs.
Furniture:
In addition to this, you will be provided with a mattress protector and bed sheet.

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.
