Boligfonden DTU - Kongens Lyngby

Henrik O.

Så elendige værelser kan man ikke være bekendt at tilbyde de studerende. Lågen til klædeskabet faldt af, da vi åbnede den. Flytter man lidt rundt med inventaret åbenbares ansamlinger af støv, der viser, at der ikke er blevet gjort rent i meget, meget lang tid. Værelserne er mikroskopiske og indretningen elendig. Fællesarealet er stort og ubrugeligt. Man fristes til at spørge: "Har der været en arkitekt til stede?"

Absolut horribel behandling af internationale studerende. Lever ikke op til deres ansvar som udlejere og giver desværre mange studerende et dårligt indblik i Danmark. Undgå hvis du du kan.

BDTU er det værste sted at bo. Find noget andet, ligesom dit liv afhænger af det.

I stayed at their accommodation only for few months and I was charged half a rent for repairs that had to do with the mattress and the scale caused by the bad quality of water. I had to leave urgently and made a lot of efforts to clean. All the guidance for the mattress and scale was on YouTube but it was never explained in advance, so there was not enough time to clean. Althouth the reason of early termination of contract was serious I also had to pay an extra rent. The rooms in total look like jail rooms at a high price and have a bad air quality due to poor heating system. Garbage is right outside of the room. The fire alarm is always ringing for nothing. I was hired only one month before start, so I had to accept any accommodation. I changed two accommodations for a stay of 6 months. We enter later than the day we pay for and have also to leave earlier. I would never recommend DTU for short term postdoc contract or DTU Boligfonden for short stay.

One of the worst experiences of my life, genuinely.
Starting with the patronising attitude of the staff, who genuinely treat you like they think they are doing you a huge favour by doing their job. The boss/manager, a blond lady in her 40s will gaslight you into thinking you are wrong to claim something they are factually at fault for.
The dorms are expensive. Yes, they are in Denmark, but it is still expensive and rest assured the rent will be significantly increased every semester.
Communication. Be ready to fight on literally everything. You should be able to apply to every on-campus dorm, even if you have lower chances to get into the Danish ones. BDTU will have you think you dont, they will not facilitate it at all. I had to request no less than 3 times (3 separate emails) to receive the PDF form and manually write my dorm choices, but they kept "suggesting" it was better not to apply altogether and just use the online form. I know what I want to apply to, thank you very much, just help me instead of making it more difficult.
Deposits. Be ready to lose most of it if you cannot be present during the inspection. Take vids and pictures of everything as soon as you move in. You might end up feeling like you need to take legal action, and you probably will be somewhat successful if you do because they will 100% overcharge you.
Overall, I just wish this company disappeared or that DTU did something about their abusive treatment. Avoid them at all costs and search for accommodation literally anywhere else.

Really really really bad experience. They give the apartment not clean at all and they demand it to be cleaned , i mean literally clean it like hell. Consult a criminal investigator before you start cleaning. I let some some fingerprints on a cupboard wall which is not even a stain and they demanded 800 kronor for that. If you want to get looted, have a pleasant stay at bdtu.

It is deeply frustrating to deal with such predatory practices from BDTU housing providers. My experience has been nothing short of infuriating. Despite not residing in the dormitory for two months, I was still required to pay the full amount, which is outright robbery. Additionally, they tried to charge me 1200 DKK for cleaning, even though the place was spotless.

Only after threatening legal action did they reduce the charge by half, which clearly indicates they were attempting to exploit students to fund their renovations. This approach is unethical and unfair, preying on students' limited resources.

To add insult to injury, I am still waiting for my deposit a month after the move-out inspection, which is unacceptable. Moreover, the heating system was so inefficient that I had to buy an additional radiator to stay warm

The accommodation was of good quality, the service was very responsive and in general my stay was very pleasant for 1 year and 3 months. I cleaned my room deeply when moving out and I got charged ~380 DKK for some water stain in the bathroom and kitchen that i was not able to remove. I think that was fair enough.
What I found very unsettling was the fact that they pay back the overpaid utilities only once per year in April, and when moving out they take an additional 1300 DKK for eventual additional utlities expenses. I moved out in June, so they will keep around 5000 DKK (estimated considering my previous year refund) of my money blocked for almost a year for no reason. I find this outrageous. Is it even legal?! WIll they pay me interests on my money they are, de facto, keeping from me?
