As a tenant in Denmark you may have the right to access costs, invoices and supplier contracts, especially when it concerns maintenance and repairs to your home. This guide explains in plain English when you can ask for documentation, how to request access, what information you can expect, and which steps you can take if the landlord refuses. We also cover practical examples, deadlines and evidence requirements so you can better assess whether a cost should be charged to you or the landlord. The material uses clear language and concrete steps so you can act or complain without a legal background. Read on for checklists and practical advice.
