Move-out inspection in Denmark: prepare and document
A move-out inspection records the condition of a rental property when you leave and helps identify any restoration required. Attend where possible, ask questions and read the report carefully before signing.
Before the inspection
Find the move-in report and photographs, empty and clean the home and review the lease’s departure terms. Record when the invitation was received. Keep the documents together so you can compare the current condition with the starting point.
During the walkthrough
Go through the property with the landlord and ask about points being recorded. Take your own photographs. If you disagree with an assessment, say so and ensure the disagreement is noted rather than leaving it unrecorded.
Keep the report and check your options
Retain the inspection report. Rules about notice, reporting and deadlines may depend on the tenancy and property type; consult the lease and current law. This guide is general information, not legal advice. A tenants’ organisation or relevant rent board guidance can help with a disagreement.
Official sources and further checks
Rules and requirements can depend on your circumstances. Use the relevant official source rather than treating a general moving guide as individual legal advice.
