§ 192
In properties with at least six residential apartments, tenants have the right to elect tenant representatives.
Stk. 2.When establishing a tenant representation in a property, at least 50% of the tenants present at a tenant meeting must elect tenant representatives. If 50% of the tenants are not present at the tenant meeting, a decision to establish a tenant representation must be confirmed by a subsequent ballot among all tenants. Three tenant representatives must be elected. In properties with fewer than 13 apartments, the number is reduced to one.
Stk. 3.In properties with fewer than six and more than two rented residential apartments, a majority of the tenants have the same powers as the tenant representation in other properties. A spokesperson must be elected to represent the tenants to the landlords. The spokesperson must act in accordance with the majority decisions of the tenants.
Stk. 4.If a tenant representation has been established in a property, it continues until it is decided to dissolve it, cf. however, stk. 5 and 6. A decision to dissolve the tenant representation must be discussed according to the rules in stk. 2.
Stk. 5.If it cannot be determined with certainty whether there is still a tenant representation in the property, including whether the elected tenant representatives still reside in the property, the landlord may request all residential tenants to inform in writing within a certain deadline who the tenant representatives are. The response deadline must be at least 6 weeks, excluding the month of July. If the landlord has not received the requested information by the end of the response deadline, the tenant representation is considered dissolved.
Stk. 6.The tenant representation is dissolved if no tenant meeting with the election of tenant representatives has been held for 2 years.
Stk. 7.If several properties owned by the same owner are continuously constructed as a single development and these properties have shared open spaces or any form of operational community, a tenant representation can be established when the properties have at least six residential apartments in total. The same applies where several properties are jointly assessed or jointly registered in the land register. In such properties, the tenant representation must include all properties.
Stk. 8.In a property divided into owner-occupied apartments, the rules on tenant representation apply to tenants if the landlord owns at least six residential apartments in the owners' association.
Stk. 9.In a property owned by a cooperative housing association, the rules on tenant representation apply if at least six residential apartments are not occupied by shareholders.
Stk. 10.The Minister for the Interior and Housing lays down detailed rules on holding tenant meetings and electing tenant representatives and on covering expenses related to tenant representation.
