Dialogue is always better than conflict, but if a conflict is impossible to solve, you have the opportunity to complain. Your complaint must be in writing and only exceptionally concern incidences more than two weeks old.

If you want to file a complaint aganist a fellow resident, you must make a written complaint outlining whom the complaint is made against, what the complaint is about and when the reason for the complaint took place. Send your written complaint to the estate committee. The complaints can only be made anomymously in exceptional cases. However you may remain anonymous to the person you are complaining against. The anonymity can no longer be maintained if the complaint is sent to the tenants’ complaint board (Beboerklagenævn). The complaint will only be sent to the Beboerklagenævn by agreement with the complainant.

You can use Kollegiekontoret's complaint form, which you can find in the menu option forms

The complaint must be sent to klage@kollegiekontoret.dk

Kollegiekontoret treats the complaint and assesses if the tenant the claim is against is to have a written warning.

In case of repeated written warnings regarding the same violation of the house rules, the violating tenant's lease may be cancelled (with 3 months notice) or terminated (with short notice).

In very serious cases Kollegiekontoret can terminate the lease without further notice.

If your complaint has been treated and you are not satisfied with the outcome, you can address the tenants’ complaint board (Huslejenævnet) of the municipality.

The tenants’ complaint board e.g. deals with issues regarding:

- the condition of the residence when moving in and out
- house regulations, harassment etc.
- right of disposal
- water and heating accounts

The tenants’ complaint board can e.g. make decisions regarding whether:

- a decision in the resident democracy is valid
- a resident must have a warning
- the resident must be given a conditional notice (the lease will be cancelled or terminated if the resident violates the same house rule again)

Both residents and hall of residence can move on to the rent tribunal if they are dissatisfied with a decision made in the tenants’ complaint board. However, possible warnings are final.

Find further information regarding the tenants’ complaint board on (only available in Danish).

According to the fire preventive regulations, entrances, corridors, balconies, stairs and emergency exits must be cleared of all objects (bookcases, mattresses, clothes horses etc.).

When a resident moves out there is 14 days processing time for the final moving out settlement, so we have time to collect the money, even if the person in question has moved out. However we recommend you to contact Kollegiekontoret as soon as possible.

When the person who moves out has received his final settlement of accounts, you can no longer claim the dept to the household purse via Kollegiekontoret.

Please make sure it covers rehousing in case you have to vacate your residence for a period due to e.g. water damage.

We will also encourage you to take out an accident insurance.

You can join the service on the paying-in slip you receive after moving in. If you still receive paying-in slips after having joined PBS, the reason is either that the arrangement has not been effectuated or that a mistake has occurred. Please contact your bank to have this corrected.

2. Payment via paying-in slip by home-banking or in the bank. This method of payment costs you a fee every month. If you do not receive a monthly paying-in slip or if the slip is lost, it is your responsibility to make sure that the rent is paid on time. You can pay to Kollegiekontoret’s giro account no. 913 0187. Please remember to state your name and your hall of residence address or your “lejemålsnr.” This method of payment also costs you a fee every month.

You have moved into an independent dormitory.

This means, among other things, that you are part of a resident democracy and can play a role in ensuring that your hall of residence is an exciting and well-functioning place.

For instance, at least once a year, a resident meeting is held for all the residents of the dormitory. At this meeting, the residents elect a number of resident council members. All resdent council members have to be residents in the dormitory.

The resident council can propose changes and common arrangements.

In addition to the resident council the dormitory has a board, who is in charge of the day to day management. 1/3 of the board are members of the resident council. The two other thirds are partly selected from the educational institutions and partly from the municipality.
