§ 44

Rent increases under §§ 42 or 43 can be implemented with 3 months' notice.

Stk. 2.The demand for a rent increase must be made in writing and include an indication of the amount of the increase. The demand must also contain information on the reason for the increase and the tenant's right to object, cf. stk. 3. If the demand does not contain this information, it is invalid.

Stk. 3.If the tenant does not accept the demand for a rent increase, the tenant must submit a written objection no later than 6 weeks after the demand is received. The landlord must then bring the matter before the rent tribunal no later than 6 weeks after the tenant's deadline if the landlord wishes to maintain the demand for a rent increase.

Stk. 4.Until the rent tribunal's decision is available, the landlord may collect the notified rent increase as a provisional increase, which must not exceed 15 DKK per m² of gross floor area per year. The rent must be adjusted in accordance with the tribunal's decision. Adjustment of the deposit and prepaid rent cannot be demanded until the rent increase demand is decided by the tribunal. Reimbursement to the tenant of overpaid rent shall bear interest from the payment date according to the provision in § 15.

Stk. 5.A rent increase can be demanded regardless of agreed non-terminability when the landlord has reserved the right to adjust the rent.
