Apply for accommodation - Herning

We kindly request that you submit your housing application as soon as possible, and no later than three months before your desired lease start date. You are welcome to submit your application prior to receiving confirmation of admission or paying any potential tuition fees. If you receive a housing offer and subsequently discover that you are not admitted to AU, we will refund you the paid amount.

Please note that AU Housing cannot guarantee housing, and we encourage you to explore alternative options in Herning. Accommodation provided through AU Housing is limited to a maximum of 12 months, subject to availability. If you plan to stay longer, you will need to secure a housing solution for the remainder of your time in temporary accommodation. We recommend that you sign up for the waiting list at www.lejehuset.dk as early as possible and consider exploring the private housing market.

Application process for full-degree students and interns in Herning via AU Housing

Before starting your application, we advise you to read the step-by-step guide below and take a look at the housing options.

For us to better help you, we request that you fill out/submit the housing application a minimum of three months before you wish your lease to start.

Housing offer

  2. Through this email you will gain access to the Housing reservation system, where you need to either confirm or decline your housing offer within 2 days of receiving the email. It is therefore very important for you to regularly check your email.
  3. If you want to confirm your housing offer, press the 'confirm' button.

Payment

  1. When you have pressed the 'confirm' button, you will be directed to the payment page, where you will be asked to pay the first month's rent with a credit card. For your information, a security deposit will be charged later on together with the second month's rent. Additionally, it is important to remember, for future payments, that it is only possible to pay your rent through our online payment system using a credit card. 
  2. When you have paid the first month's rent you will receive a receipt of your payment. Please notice that your housing reservation is not valid before you have paid the first month's rent and received a receipt. 
  3. Make sure that you have read the full Terms and Conditions of the AU housing service, which includes relevant information, such as the cancellation policy.
