Tenant rights for insulation and windows in Denmark

Maintenance & repairs (who pays what) 1 min read · published September 11, 2025
As a tenant in Denmark, questions about insulation and window replacement can be confusing: who pays, which improvements are reasonable, and how do you document problems? This guide explains in plain language which rules often apply to maintenance and repairs, how the Tenancy Act[1] and local rent tribunals[2] can help, and what practical steps you can take to get work done or obtain compensation. We go through typical scenarios — for example replacing leaky windows or adding insulation — and give advice on documentation, notices and complaint options so you as a tenant gain clarity and confidence in the process. You will also get concrete steps on how to collect evidence, send a written request to the landlord and, if necessary, file a complaint with the rent tribunal or seek advice.
