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.

Charlotte and Ian

 
Danish/English couple:

Wish of living the good life

”Above all, we just wanted to be together and live the good life. We love being together” says the Danish/English couple Charlotte and Ian Coles who have settled down in an idyllic old farm house at Kloster, halfway between the Ringkøbing Fjord and the Stadil Fjord and close to the town of Ringkøbing.

It is not surprising that the couple had a wish of the good life in peaceful surroundings with lots of nature. Ian was a Major in the British Army, which meant the couple had moved around military bases in England and Germany for years. Ian had also been deployed close to the world’s war zones, leaving Charlotte alone and suffering months of deprivation during their first year in Ringkøbing-Skjern Municipality.

They bought the old farmhouse overlooking the Stadil Fjord in 2013, and Charlotte moved in full-time, while Ian could only come home as work allowed. But now the good life has really started as Ian retired this summer.

Ian is 48 years old and he has just landed a job with Vestas - the wind turbine manufacturer – as a Project Training Leader.
