Is electricity included when you rent a summer house in Denmark?

Consumption is the most common extra cost.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

In many Danish summer houses, electricity, heating and water are not part of the rent. Novasol charges consumption by actual use or as a fixed amount per person per day, and settles it on departure or invoices it after the stay, while some houses have it included. With Sol og Strand, electricity, oil and water are deducted from your deposit after the stay, and any shortfall is invoiced. The unit prices are shown when you book, so check them before you choose a house.

Why

  1. Many houses charge consumption by use or as a fixed daily amount per person.
  2. Unit prices for consumption are shown when you book.
  3. Some houses include consumption in the rent.

Details

Novasol refunds the deposit automatically up to four weeks after departure, and Sol og Strand returns the rest within 2 weeks unless there is damage or a dispute.

Tip

Take a photo of the meter when you arrive and when you leave, so you can check the bill.

What may differ

Some agencies sell all-inclusive houses where cleaning and electricity are part of the price, so terms differ from house to house.

Common misconception

The weekly rent always covers everything.

What actually happens

Consumption, final cleaning and linen are often extra, so read what the price includes before you book.
