RENT an apartment or a house in the city

Find housing from Home

When you have found a job in Denmark it is a good idea to find a place to live before you move to here. Below you will find a couple of suggestions as to what to do.

Ask your employer about the housing options. Perhaps the company knows of vacant housing close to the workplace, or perhaps it can put you in contact with others who do.

Search on the free housing portal Akutbolig.dk or Boligportal. Search for rented accommodation in our biggest towns: 6880 Tarm, 6900 Skjern, 6920 Videbæk, 6950 Ringkøbing or 6960 Hvide Sande. The postal codes also cover villages nearby. Contact housing associations or private landlords regarding the opportunities of renting a flat or a house in the area in which you want to settle. See contact information arranged according to the biggest towns under HOUSING FOR RENT. Use Google Translate for translation of the link pages.

Use THE GROUP on Facebook with "Hus/bolig til leje/salg i Ringkøbing-Skjern Kommune". Here you can for example search for a house or a place for rent.

Contact the local CIVIC ASSOCIATIONS-/PARISH ASSOCIATIONS, who know of local landlords. Or via the MAP you may be able to find information about vacant houses on the website of the village to which you would like to move.

You are also welcome to search for a home by making a Facebook-post on flytmodvest.dk

You can read more in English about i.a. tenancy contracts under HOUSING.

The Chinnow family

 
German family:

Good working conditions leaving room for a family life close to the North Sea

In 2019 the Chinnow family moved from Löbau in Germany to Hvide Sande in Denmark. Four years later the family is not in doubt: -We’ll stay here!

The couple Dagmar and Udo are working at the local companies, Hvide Sande Røgeri and Danwest, and they both see the career opportunities as one of the really big gains of having moved to Ringkøbing-Skjern Kommune. Here they have been able to let go of their previous worries about job safety and fair pay, and last year their dream of buying their own house came true. 

The two children, Pauline and Pepe, are also happy about having moved to Hvide Sande. They like their new school and appreciate the Danish school system with less tests and more variety during the day. 

In Ringkøbing-Skjern Kommune the family has found both tranquility, a house, career opportunities, and new friends. When the holiday makers have to go back after 1-2 weeks’ holiday all four of them are pleased that they can stay and fulfil more dreams in the middle between the North Sea and Ringkøbing Fjord.

Iwona and Jarek

 
Polish family:

Nature and good conditions for the children are crucial

It is first and foremost the good conditions for the children and the clean and beautiful nature that Iwona and Jarek emphasize when expressing why they have chosen to settle in Ringkøbing-Skjern Municipality in Denmark. In the past two years Iwona and Jarek have been living in the village of Finderup together with their joint child Diego and Jarek’s son Manuel and his daughter Karolina.

”The child-care facilities here are simply so good. They do so much for the development of children. For instance, they are allowed to cook and do woodwork when they can handle a knife– even though it may be a little dangerous. Besides, they also spend a lot of time in nature. In all sorts of weather. It is so healthy for them”, says Iwona who is also really happy with the schools.

”However, the best thing is that you exist to live here – which means that you don’t just constantly work, but you work in order to also live in your spare time”, says Iwona, and Jarek agrees. That was the very reason why he came to Denmark to work, since - as a self-employed motor mechanic with his own construction firm - he just worked and worked without earning sufficient to live on. On top of that he did not have any spare time whatsoever.
