11 years rent

[Julia Julia]

Dear Jakob

Heard from a friend that if you rent a property longer than 10 years, you should not cover renovation after you moved out. Is that correct?

[Jakob Lindberg]

This rule applies only if you live in a non-profit-housing apartment (alment byggeri). Here you get a discount on the expenditures to “normal renovation”. The discount is most often calculated as 1 % per month, you have lived in the apartment. Normal renovation means only painting/wallpapering of the walls and cealings. That means, that if you have lived 8 years and 4 month in the apartment, then you are not obliged to pay for normal renovation. You shall still pay for socalled “misligholdelse”, that is damage caused by irresponsibility, neglect, default and so on.

The rule does not apply in private housing

Denne regel gælder kun i alment byggeri, hvor man får en rabat på “normalistandsættelsen”. Rabatten udregnes sædvanligvis som 1 % pr måned, man har boet i boligen. Normalistandsættelsen dækker maling/tapetsering af lejemålet. Det vil sige, at hvis man har boet 8 år og 4 måneder i lejligheden, skal man ikke betale for normalistandsættelsen. Men man skal stadig betale for såkaldt misligholdelse, dvs. skader på lejligheden som følge af uforsvarlig adfærd og lignende.

Reglen gælder ikke i privat udlejningsbyggeri.

Med venlig hilsen, Jakob Lindberg
