Draw up a contract

Once you have received an email from us with the contact details of a potential subtenant, you should get in touch with them.

Then you fill in a leasing contract. 

Please notice that you enter into the agreement as private persons, and that the role of AU Housing is solely to establish the contact between you. Aarhus University is not responsible for any economic loss due to incidents or missing payments. Should any problems arise you are of course welcome to contact AU Housing at [email protected] and we will do what we can to help you.

Do not forget to check out the conditions for sublease in your own contract.

Rent payment

You can choose to continue paying your rent to your landlord as usual, and to state in the leasing contract with your tenant that he/she pays the rent to your account. In that way you will know immediately, if your tenant fails to pay the rent. If it suits you better you can of course also ask your tenant to pay directly to your landlord. No matter which model you choose, it is important that you include payment conditions and notices in the contract. Remember to include expenses of electricity, heating and water.

Moving in and out

Ask your new tenant to fill out a checklist when he/she moves in. Use this or draw one up yourself.

When it is time for your tenant to move out again fill out a new checklist together. Use this or draw one up yourselves. If you can't agree on possible occurred damages, make sure to document these with photos and invite offers from repair companies.

Furniture

It is an advantage that you can sublet your accommodation with furniture, at least the most basic things like chair, table, bed, lamps and book case/wardrobe.

If you are not able to sublet with furniture please contact [email protected]. We might be able to find some furniture.

Term of notice

We recommend that the term of notice is set to 3 months.

Claim for damages

Compensation for any damages to your room, furniture or other belongings should be directed to your tenant (he/she might have an insurance to cover the loss.) Aarhus University is not responsible for any damages to your room, furniture or belongings.
