Renting a place to live – General information

Maintenance of the apartment
The tenant is responsible for interior maintenance. As a tenant, you must carry out ongoing maintenance and repair work so that the apartment appears well-maintained at all times.

The landlord is responsible for covering the costs of exterior maintenance.
Exterior maintenance refers not only to maintenance outdoors, but also to everything that is not included in the concept of "interior maintenance." This may include certain work inside the apartments, such as repairing a leaky radiator.

Rules and regulations
Along with the lease agreement, you will receive rules and regulations for the rental property and the building in which you will be living. These rules must, of course, be observed.

Household waste/bulky waste
A distinction is made between household waste and bulky waste.
Household waste refers to everyday waste from the household. This includes, for example, potato peelings, food scraps, small packaging from items such as soap, toothpaste, etc.

Household waste must be disposed of in waste containers and bins provided for this purpose. Waste must always be wrapped before being placed in the container.

Bulky waste includes, for example, discarded furniture, cardboard boxes, and other large packaging, etc. This waste must not be placed in containers and bins intended for household waste or elsewhere on the property. You are responsible for ensuring that these items are taken to the recycling center.

Water/Heating bill
Heating and/or water bills are calculated for one year at a time. The start date of the water and/or heating billing year may vary from property to property. The lease agreement specifies the period covered by the water and/or heating bill.

Each month, a heating and/or water contribution is charged on account together with the rent.
Three to four months after the end of the heating and/or water accounting year, the accounts are sent to the tenants. Any overpayment or underpayment of contributions on account is adjusted in the rent for the month after the accounts have been sent out.

The property's heating costs include expenses for heat supply and energy consulting. Once the property's heating costs have been calculated, they are distributed among the tenants according to consumption.

The property's water consumption includes all expenses for water drainage charges and water consumption. Once the property's water expenses have been calculated, the expense is divided among the tenants according to consumption.

TV and antenna fees
TV and antenna fees vary from city to city, so you can find out more about TV and antenna fees by contacting us or your local provider.

Insurance
As a tenant, you are required to take out home contents insurance that also covers glass and sinks.
Damage to the building is covered by the landlord's building/fire insurance.

Subletting
Subletting the rental property is not permitted.

Moving out

You can terminate your lease with three months' notice to the first day of a month. If you wish to move before the end of the notice period, we will try to find a new tenant earlier.

The notice of termination must be sent directly to us and must be signed by all tenants who have signed the lease agreement, and always by both spouses, in order to be valid.

At the same time as giving notice, but no later than 8 days before moving out, you must inform us of your new address so that we can send you the moving statement.

Along with confirmation of the termination of your lease, you will receive a notice to attend a move-out inspection. If the move-out date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or public holiday, the move-out inspection will be held on the following business day.

Preparing your rental property for the move-out inspection
Before the move-out inspection, you must empty your rental property and any basement storage rooms of all your belongings. Otherwise, the rental property and associated rooms will be emptied by our caretaker, and you will be charged for the number of hours he spends doing this. It is not possible to transfer belongings to the new tenant.

Cleaning
The rental property must be left tidy and clean. We ask you to clean thoroughly, as we often see inadequate cleaning, especially of the stove, range hood, refrigerator, and bathroom. If the cleaning is inadequate, we will have to hire a cleaning company to do the cleaning at your expense:

The windows must be cleaned inside and out.
The stairs must be cleaned, unless the landlord is responsible for cleaning the stairs.
Refrigerators, stoves, and dishwashers should be pulled away from back walls and out of cabinets so that we can see that behind the appliances has been cleaned.
If the refrigerator is turned off, the door must be left open to prevent unpleasant odors.
If you have a garden, the grass must be mowed and the hedge trimmed.

Waste
When moving, there are often items that are discarded and that you do not wish to take with you to your new home.
We often find that tenants leave old furniture, carpets, or other items and place them by the waste containers, in the basement of the property, or elsewhere on the property's grounds.
This is not permitted. You must dispose of such items yourself, possibly as bulky waste.

Doing your own repairs before moving out
There's been some criticism in the press about landlords using their own contractors when a tenant moves out. As our tenant, you're free to choose your own contractors, but the repairs need to be done properly. We always require that this be complied with.
If you wish to use your own tradespeople, the work must be completed before the move-out date, which is 14 days before the end of the lease.
You must use the same colors and the same quality of paint that was used when you moved in. You can contact us about this by calling 64 40 37 00. So-called "discount paint" must not be used.
Your lease and your move-in report describe how you took over the apartment and therefore also describe how it must be handed over.

Save money
When moving out, there are a number of "little things" that you can easily take care of yourself, but which are expensive if our craftsmen have to do the same work. Here are some good tips you can follow:

Have all your own lamps been taken down?
Have you taken down all your curtains?
Are sockets fitted to all lamp outlets so that there are no exposed wires?
Are the spotlights and lamps belonging to the rental property in working order?
If the doorbell does not work, the battery may need to be replaced.
Are the freezer and refrigerator defrosted and cleaned?
Has the fan in the bathroom been cleaned?
Are all the taps present and descaled?
Are the plugs in the sinks present and in good working order? If not, replace them.
Have all non-original dishcloth and towel holders been removed?
Ensure that no tableware or other personal belongings are left in the cupboards.
Are baking trays and other oven accessories clean and available?
Has the filter in the range hood been cleaned so that there are no grease residues left?
Replace the bulb in the cooker hood if it is not working
Replace the bulb in the oven if it is not working – Please note that the oven bulb is a special bulb that can be purchased at appliance stores.
Remember to collect all keys for the rental property, mailbox, etc., as they must be handed in at the move-out inspection. This also applies to any laundry cards.

Your new address
The Tenancy Act stipulates that you must inform us of your new address no later than 8 days before moving out.

Move-out inspection
At the move-out inspection, you and Nordhusene's inspector will meet at the rental property.
We recommend that you bring your lease, move-in report, and any other written agreements regarding repairs to the inspection.
You and the inspector will go through the rental property together and fill out the move-out report.
If you have already had the apartment painted yourself, the work will be checked, and any defects will be noted in the move-out report so that our master painter can subsequently correct any mistakes.
If you have chosen to have us take care of the renovation work, the scope of the work will be noted in the move-out report.
Normally, agreement on the move-out report is quickly reached, after which it is signed by you and the inspector. You will receive a copy of the move-out report at the move-out inspection.

Reading the meters for your rental property
We take care of reading all meters and send the readings to the utility companies.

Moving statement
Approximately eight weeks after the lease expires, we will send you a moving statement.
The moving statement will include your security deposit, prepaid rent, various expenses, etc.
Any credit balance will be transferred to an account specified by you.
