The easiest way to find your way around both Aarhus and Denmark is with the “Rejseplanen” (Journey Planner). You can either download an app or use their online version.
Find more information about getting around via the button below.
Upon arrival at your residence, please conduct a thorough inspection of your housing as you must submit a moving-in checklist within 3 working days after your arrival.
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 receive 1 key chip that gives you access to the main entrance and your room.
When you move out the original keys noted in the signed key agreement must be returned. If you lose any keys or the returned keys are copies of the original, you must pay for lock conversion and/or key replacement (up to 6000 DKK).
When leaving your room and residence, please be aware that the doors might automatically lock behind you. If this is the case, please remember to bring your keys with you at all times.
Please note, that if you lose your key, you will be charged up to 6000 DKK to cover the expenses of lock conversion and/or key replacement.
If you lose your key, please find relevant information under the tab "In case of emergency".
Please contact Jydsk Vagt- & Hundetjeneste (emergency number) *: +45 8610 4644
*Please note that only serious emergencies (problems that cannot wait until ordinary office hours) will be handled by the emergency call service. If you call in technical assistance yourself – instead of using the emergency number – you have to pay for the service yourself.
Lost your key? Please use the emergency number and be aware of an 1100 DKK fee.
Make sure that you are aware of and follow the house rules during your stay.
You are responsible for regular, careful and correct cleaning of your room and toilet (if you have one).
You are welcome to use (and return) the vacuum cleaner found at the end of the hallway. Cleaning articles (mops, rags and cleaners) can be found in the shared laundry room.
NB: No tape or nails on the walls! If damage is inflicted on the walls, you will be charged with the costs for painting/repairing of the walls.
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:
Storage
*AU Housing provides a duvet and pillow for each tenant. For sustainability reasons, these items are reused. If you prefer not to use the provided duvet and pillow, we recommend that you bring your own. Please remember to bring covers for the provided items.

Please contact AU Housing if you are missing some of the following basic kitchen equipment: plates, bowls, glasses, cups, cutlery, cutting boards, trivets, pans, pots, kitchen knives, kitchen utensils (palette knives, spoons, kitchen pliers).
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.

Shared facilities: kitchen, dining room, toilet, shower, laundry facilities

The laundry cost is included in the price.
The laundry room is located on the 300 floor. You can find instructions on how to use the washing machine and the dryer in the laundry room.
Please note, that it is not allowed to dry clothes inside the room as this creates an unhealthy indoor climate for the tenant as well as the building. You must use the dryer or dry you on the drying racks in the laundry room.
If you need further information about the laundry facilities, please contact FEAS.
A wireless internet connection (Wi-Fi) is available and included in the rent.

The city of Aarhus is home to more than 370,000 people, and around 13% of the city's population are students. That might explain why Aarhus was ranked as Denmark's best student city in 2021, 2022, and 2023!
