At IC Dormitory we must abide by the Danish rental legislation, and it is therefore not possible for AU Housing to rent on a daily or weekly basis. This means that you must pay for a full month from either the 1st or the 15th of the month.
If you are staying in a Danish private home it depends on the agreement you make with the private landlord. However, we look for landlords who offer housing in the period you state in your housing preferences. It is therefore likely, that you only pay for the actual housing period.
