Are you looking for a room in Denmark? You’ve come to the right place. Read through our list below of the top five points to consider when choosing a room to stay, and find værelse til leje her once you’ve decided and pinpointed what your preferences are. 

The top five points of consideration when renting a room in Denmark      

  1. Location and costs

Before going on a room-hunting spree, you have to consider the location most suitable for you to decide on the part of the city where you’ll be looking for a room. The room should preferably be close to your job and offer shops and most essential services within a 10-mile radius. With such narrowing down of potential locations, you can limit your search and look only at rooms most convenient for you. Naturally, you should also consider the monthly costs like parking and pet fees, security deposit, and, of course, the rent.   

  1. Kitchen and bathroom

Always check the level of maintenance in the bathroom and the kitchen of your future room for rent. If the electrical and the plumbing system aren’t maintained, you may run into numerous inconveniences and additional costs in the long run. Therefore, spend enough time checking the condition of the bathroom and the kitchen.   

  1. Furnished vs. non-furnished room 

Depending on whether you’re looking for a furnished or a non-furnished room, your preferences will be different. However, both cases come along with some points to consider. Namely, if you’re looking for a furnished room, you should check the condition of all furniture parts, whereas if you’re looking for an empty room, consider whether your furniture can fit into it.  

  1. Pet-friendliness  

If you own a pet, scratch all non-pet-friendly rooms from the list. When you’re left only with those that are pet friendly, bear in mind that there might be some extra fees for your pet. These fees will also vary depending on the type, the size, and the number of pets. 

  1. Parking space 

To reach maximum convenience, you should look for rooms with designated parking spaces. There are cases where you may have to pay additional fees for a parking space, but if you own a car, paying a little extra for a parking space will turn out to be a far greater pay-off as you’ll save money on gas weekly because you can park close to your rented room.

A survey carried out by Megafon for TV2 has found that 71 percent of parents have handed over children to daycare in spite of them being sick.

Moreover, 21 percent of those surveyed admitted to medicating their kids with paracetamol, such as Panodil, before sending them to school.

The FOLA parents’ organisation is shocked by the findings.

“I think it is absolutely crazy. It simply cannot be that a child goes to school sick and plays with lots of other children. Then we are faced with the fact that they will infect the whole institution,” said FOLA chair Signe Nielsen.

Pill pushers
At the Børnehuset daycare institution in Silkeborg a meeting was called where parents were implored not to bring their sick children to school.

At Børnehuset there are fears that parents prefer to pack their kids off with a pill without informing teachers.

“We occasionally have children who that they have had a pill for breakfast,” said headteacher Susanne Bødker. “You might think that it is a Panodil more than a vitamin pill, if it is a child who has just been sick, for example.”

Parents sick and tired
Parents, when confronted, often cite pressure at work as a reason for not being able to stay at home with their children.

Many declare that they simply cannot take another day off, as they are afraid of being fired.

Allan Randrup Thomsen, a professor of virology at KU, has heavily criticised the parents’ actions, describing the current situation as a “vicious circle”.

“It promotes the spread of viruses, and it adds momentum to a cycle where parents are pressured by high levels of sick-leave. If they then choose to send the children to daycare while they are still recovering, they keep the epidemic going in daycares, and this in turn puts a greater burden on the parents.”
