Omar E. September 2013 Hey guys! For those of you doubting on whether you should, or should not go to Jette's workshop... I can say from experience that IT WORKS! Since the workshop I've gotten tons of replies and I can finally say I am very close on landing my apartment! I didn't notice but there were a LOT of things I was doing wrong, and Jette helped me correct them and the results have been fantastic. I went to her workshop last Sunday, and since that day, I've been making 3 appointments a day, is not magic either though. Even do I am getting lots of appointments, competition is fierce for apartments. But right now I have two options that look very promising. So bottom line, go to the workshop, IT WORKS. And I can assure you that you will feel way more conffident afterwards. Good luck to all on your hunting! And thanks for everything Jette!

Hi Jette, how are you? After we decided not to work together anymore we went around many agencies and today we actually went to an agency to look for something else! They offered us the same apartment we were working together and after a lot of talking we decided to take it even if they will keep the deposit and we signed the contract You can believe me we didn't try to go behind your back, we went there asking for something else but nothing really fitted our needs so at the end our parents were so worried they decided to spend a little bit more and take the apartment anyway ! You worked for us a lot and you put a lot of time into this that you could have spent on other students, we are honest people and we truly recognize and respect your work, that's why we decided to give you the fee we firstly accorded, because you worked for us and we want to recognize your hard work! We also signed a contract between us and we will give it to the agencies as soon as possible !. We really appreciated what you did for us even if it didn't work out, that's why we want to give you the fee, we didn't feel comfortable going behind your back for all your work and support you give to students like us. Let me know, thank you very much as always, Have a good night, Francesco
Katerina Prevelianaki 26 April · Copenhagen hey guys, I would like to share my experience with you, so that perhaps it can help you in some way. Recently I have found myself in a very bad housing situation and I needed help with finding my way around legal matters on housing and all the different rules. A friend had recommended I ask Jette because she helped my friend find a room and had a good experience with her. I decided to follow my friend's advice and I am actually really really glad I did so. Not only has Jette helped me a lot and has showed me new solutions to my problem, but she also cares about how my situation goes by asking me to let her know how each step went. As an international in Denmark, it makes me feel really nice, the fact that there is someone out there who cares to help me with a difficult matter such as housing and who is also trustworthy. I strongly recommend you turn to Jette whenever you are in need of a room or advice on your housing situation. Save yourself some time and ask Jette for help instead of buying a Boligportal account (which often proves fruitless wink emoticon ), you'll see it's a much better choice! smile emoticon
"Jette, what would I do without her! At first I just wrote to her, without any faith it would help but to my surprise she contacted me first thing in the morning and in the blink of an eye she arranged a meeting with some landlord the very same day. It turned out it is just what I was looking for or even better. :) Frankly speaking, Jette is an angel ! Thanks a loooooooot. xx Klaudia
"Hello everyone,
As I think one of the first to experience the help of Jette and of her apartment search for us foreign students, I thought it might be nice to share my experience with you.
I have unsuccessfully been looking for a place in Copenhagen for several months before I got into contact with Jette. I made several bad experiences. Either I was tricked by these fake housing announces or the landlords did not prefer internationals or had some very weird housing rules, or the rooms were just TOO expensive. I was so scared not to find a room.
By coincidence I saw Jette’s post in one of the Copenhagen housing groups on facebook where she offered her help to foreign students. I directly sent her an email and she responded not even within an hour. What followed were days of intense contact and conversations. She was and certainly still is one of the nicest women I have met. Even though she did not know me personally she was open minded respectful and did not at all treat me as a stranger. I was free to explain my room dilemma and the thereof resulting despair to find a room. She was very interested in my person and, listened carefully and gave me a lot of advices, which I really appreciated. I was free to ask any question and Most importantly however, she was not making me false hopes, but was realistic. She gave me a fair warning of the housing situation in Copenhagen and explained that I might not find the perfect room. But she also made me hope not to lose hope but to move on step by step. For e.g., even though I might only find a room for a couple of weeks, it would be a start to look for another place.
I was certainly overwhelmed by her motivation and the enthusiasm with which she engaged in the room search. Not only did she look for room offers. She even went to those places herself, met with the landlords and made sure that they were trustworthy. For someone who already made bad experiences, I really appreciated having a trustworthy person representing me in the room search and mediating between me and the possible landlords. As I did not have the chance to come to Copenhagen personally to look for a room, I was very thankful for her help. Eventually it did not take longer than one week and with her help I found a good accommodation to my satisfaction.
Don’t regard this post as an advertisement or anything. I just wanted to share the positive experience I made with Jette. Offering such help, and putting as much effort as she does in helping us students without asking for any reward, is a gesture you don’t find nowadays. It is therefore that I would ask you first to respect and appreciate her help and not consider her support as self evident. If you ask for her help, don’t expect her to find you the perfect room or do the whole job for you. She is just the mediator between the landlord and you. At the end it is still up to you to make the step, to get into contact with the landlord and to present yourself and your motivation to get a certain place. Receive her help as a great opportunity to find places, or at least to be informed about places you would not even hear about from abroad. And even though you might not find the perfect room regard her help as a great opportunity to be placed somewhere trustworthy.
Thank you Jette "
“Dear Sir or Madam, Here you‘ll find my recommendation for Jette - Copenhagen Rental Service. My name is Gabriel Müller, I am a 23 year old product design student from southern Germany. I‘ve come to to Copenhagen because of doing an obligating six-months internship for my studies. My search for a place to stay became more and more difficult than I expected it to be, since there are so many applicants for the few offered rooms in Copenhagen. I looked for rooms on several online-based platforms, and was even almost tricked by a scammer. Additionally, as a person abroad, you cannot see the rooms lively - and the landlords and flatmates cannot meet you either. So I was not in a good position to be lucky to find a place. Actually, this is the point where Jette - Copenhagen Rental Service starts - I was very impressed when getting in contact with her through a friend being in the same position as me. Via Mrs Horn I got in contact to landlords and she even helped me out when I was in an unfortunate situation because of a contract I signed. Moreover, I have to say, that you can really recognize that Jette‘s truly passionate about trying to help people out with their looking for a room - she‘s very active in adding new available rooms whose landlords she already contacted in the Facebook-Group she founded, and, whenever I had a question, I got an answer really quickly - even beyond usual working hours. Thus, I really can recommend her service to other foreigners and people in the same position as me.
Besides, I have to mention that such a personal help could (and should) be charged - precisely because there are even online portals to pay for, and the payment is just for the possibility to write an e-mail to the landlord who posted a free room; so there‘s not any assurance to even get a reply (I also used such a portal, and from about 25 requests I got only around five answers.) I really appreciate the work of Jette.” Best regards, Gabriel Müller
"Hi Jette.
We are the two Italian researchers who write you some days ago. We are every day more worried than the day before. You think there is some way we can have a meeting with some apartment owner? We write and write and nobody answer. :-( It is every time so difficult to find an apartment for rent? You are the first person so kind who help us. Thank you." B&V
"Hey Jette, the school offered a housing contract!!! Finally!! I want to thank you for all your help. Finally things are looking up. Your support helped me get through it all! :) " Omar C
“THANK YOU, Jette!!! I'm extremely happy I have a nice place to stay now.. Even for a while. That's amazing how you do it. I will remember this day for a long time now... It makes me hope :)) I just wish there were more people like you! They make the world better :) ” Sandu
"Hi Jette, I got the room! Thank you so much for all your help :) I will be moving in at the end of the month - so it's perfect timing! Hope the video has been helpful for all the people in the group - I think it's a really good idea - because people get to know you (at least a bit) before deciding weather they want to let you live with them..Tell me where do I have to register :) ” Best wishes, R........
“JETTE! I have got the apartment! It turned out that she is this very,very nice and that she is indeed on vacation on her summer house. The house itself is astonishing and a real nice family atmosphere. I cannot tell you how thankful I am you forwarded me this amazing place. A thousand times thanks! I am moving in August 24, so this is just perfect for me. Again thank you and I wish you all best of the luck setting up your business. In case you need a favor please do not hesitate contacting. You made my day!" Oliver D
“Hello Jette! Thank you for coming up with this! Any bit of advice and help is more than appreciated - like I told you. Being without a place and at McDonalds in the middle of the night is not fun. :o( Yes I will keep you updated. No I don't have anyone to go with me - as I don't know anyone in town. But I try to send my parents an email where I am going so they know in case anything happens. I will write to him right away! Once more Jette, thank you !!!!! “
All the best Sandra
Ps. I don't know if you read it - but the family where I am doesn't have Wi-Fi - so I got creative to find free internet at Mc Donalds :)
"Hi Jette! We met you yesterday at Generator Hostel and we would like to say you.. Thank you. ..for your words, very comfortable:) Every people we met before you said us only sad and discouraging things." E&S
“Dear Jette, I know you are busy but just wanted to let you know that I was able to find a room in Frbrg area. The room is unfurnished but i don’t pay deposit or prepaid rent . So it is acceptable . I have to make a trip to Ikea now :) I am really relieved and I will be also living with other Masters students from CBS. So I guess everything happens in the last minute . I am so happy I met you on this journey and what you do is simply amazing . I wish you all the best and hope you have a lovely weekend . Margarita”
“Hello Jette! A friend of mine told me you are the good fairy when it comes to housing in copenhagen. My first day here was terrible. I was trapped in a scam and had no place to go. so basically i am homeless now. I stay with a family now that overcharges me and has no internet. so i spend my days looking around copenhagen for people who need roommates and my evenings at a McDonalds with wi-fi. After thinking that I had a place (the scam) I wanted to stay here in CPH and do my 2 year masters at CBS. But now it looks like i might have to go back home. I never thought it would be so hard here. I already tried with CBS and IIKI (??) housing, but nothing is available. at boligportal.dk I always receive messages that the people do not speak english :o( (I have no idea what I am doing wrong) I know you must be super busy with emails - but I hope you might be able to help me! I never thought that I would ever be homeless in my life. I have never felt so terrible and now I have absolutely no idea what to do. If you might have the tiniest bit of information, I would be the happiest person on earth. I am grateful for any advice.”
"Hey Jette! :) Thanks so much, I am soooo happy with the place where I'm living, It's just 1 min by bike to where I work, it's peaceful and the bed is so comfy I could sleep all day hahaha Mikael is very cool and his wife is also very nice. I'm sure we will all get on well together. What about meeting you soon, you choose the date as I know you are being busy all the time !!! Big hug and once more thank you!" xx Klaudia Maria
"Thank you for your quick answer. In my eyes you are like powerful Goddess. Do you even sleep? :) I would be really pleased to find a place to stay. I am not able to sleep at night because of the fear of being homeless :/ Hope it would be like in my country where all erasmus people get dorm rooms" Šárinka
“Let me just say that you are doing a great job, and it's quite important the service you are giving to foreigners student/trainee/workers ... Thanks! All the best” Gabriele
"Hey guys, I just nearly got tricked by scammers! Jette had a lot to do in the past days and I still had some time left until I arrive in Copenhagen. So I decided to search a bit on my own. I found some offers and wrote a few emails. I didn't get very many replies but one looked promising. (I found this post on justlanded.com). We wrote a few emails - but didn't Skype - and fortunately I am a careful guy, so I recognized a few mistakes. I wanted to see a scan of her identity card together with the contract she wanted to send me before I could pay the deposit. But she just sent me a scan of her driver's license, so I became suspicious of her and asked Jette what to do. Fortunately, she found out that there seems to be a scammer, before I transferred any money or signed any contract. I don't want to discourage you guys - I just want to tell you to watch out for bad apples! I wish you good luck searching for an apartment!" R.Z
"Sorry for a late email! I just wanted to thank you for all the work you are doing, and that I found a place to live for a month!! :D" Cecilie B
“Hi Jette! :-) I have just found a very nice place to live, furnished, near the uni and most of all with a very polite greek-danish family!!! Lucky me!! ;-) Thank you very much for your kind support! Hope to see you personally to thank you for your kind efforts and noble intentions!!!”
Sincerely yours, Konstantinos
“Thank you very much for yesterday afternoon, it was so wonderful and breathable to meet you. I think you are doing much more than a work, it seems more like a mission, and only someone with a big heart like you can persist in front of this hard situation.” L. Rossettini
"Dear Jette, eventually I got a room, and only because of your amazing help: the room is (relatively) cheap and very near the DTU, the landlord seems a very nice person too. I'm sorry I can't properly express how grateful I am. Huge thanks!"
Filipe V. B. Italy
“Hi everybody! Well, I just want to share with you my happiness, as I have finally found a really nice room in the city, so I won´t be homeless! And I am totally thankful to Jette, without her help, it would have been really really hard. I know I have disturbed her a lot with so many private messages asking for information (sorry) as from Spain I was a bit concerned about this flat searching, but she even joined me checking the flat, what was, once again really helpful, even though you don´t find your Danish ideal room, we should really appreciate her effort trying to help all of us looking for the right place to live in Copenhagen;) So, Jette, mange tak!! You know where I live now, so you are more than welcome to share a spanish tortilla or paella whenever you want;)” Kind regards Isabelle M.A.
"Hi Jette, Wow you are amazingly fast! :-) Thanks a lot for you help!!! The living situation in Copenhagen is difficult I think the chances are pretty low, but hope is last to die. May I ask you to continue searching for me please? That would be so great, if I can finally get something. I forgot to say that I'm looking for a furnished apartment, but you might already got this because I said I'm a student. Thanks again, I really appreciate your help!" Best regards, Daniel L
"I've moved from a town to another many times and though CPH would just be another one... Instead the housing situation revealed really hard to cope with! Luckily I found Jette's FB page and I got a room for me and my boyfriend. Not only she is kind, helpful and really quick.... Believe me, she makes miracles! Good luck to all of you guys, don't give up you'll find the perfect room." Alia N.
"Dear Jette, some time ago I sent you an email because I was desperately looking for a room in Copenhagen. Today the University offered me housing and I will take that chance so I won´t need your service anymore. I think I can speak for all students when I say thank you so much for all your help and time and efforts. This means really a lot to us and you make finding housing so much easier. Thank you and all the best," Verena.
“Hej Jette! ;) Thanks so much, I am soooo happy with the place where I am living, Its just one minute by bike to where I work, its peacefull and the bed is som comfy I could sleep all day hahaha Mikael is very cool and his wife is also very nice.” Maria
"Hei ;) I want you to know that I really respect you! So far, in my life, you are the only one I´ve met who believes in The Secret, and is grateful for everything in his life. I am glad I´ve met you. Now I understand why you are so smart and successful. And from what I´ve seen, you really enjoy what you are doing and that is the purpose of life. I am happy for you ;) Just wanted to say these words to you. You reminded me of the biggest secrets there. Thank you.” Laurentiu.
“Hi everyone! I'm Francesco, 23 years old Italian guy studying at CBS. It is a pleasure for me to write something about my experience with Jette. She's one of the most precious people I've ever met in my life. Why? Because she helped me, she encouraged me, she lifted my mood in a very sad moment for me. I couldn't expect a treatment like this from a person I didn't know. She had no reason to give me all of these cares, but she did, just as I were her son. Of course she helped me find an accommodation. She showed me the apartment with the landlord, she came to help me sign the contract the day after. I'm so happy now. I have an amazing accommodation and I met a very nice person that believes in what she does. Thanks Jette.”

Robertas paskauskas 14.7.2015 I want to share this with every single international student in Copenhagen and around the globe. Jette is a real hero helping around with any kind of difficulties regarding the accommodation, what as you all must already know is very difficult in Copenhagen. She is so well experienced and enthusiastic in the subject, that I trust her blindly and I will recommend any student to contact her if there is something you are worried about your living place. Such a nice person defending the students and willing to do her best so we can live in great places, with best possible conditions and feel safe when it comes to the law. She deserves an award and the love and appreciation from everyone. I have found a nice place to stay and I asked Jette to help me out with signing the contract. She not only went to the place with me, met the landlord, guided me through the contract, but also offered me and the landlady to help us make a legal standard danish contract what will make me safe as much as it is possible. I will never forget what Jette is doing and such people deserve the biggest appreciation! I highly recommend contacting her when it comes to your living place! 15

"Hi everyone! I'm Marco, been exchange student at DTU in Copenhagen for the past 8 months. As every single foreign student looking for an accommodation in Copenhagen I struggled, sleeping here and there for two months. Luckily, just when I was getting discouraged and tired of hostels, couches and short-term rooms I got in touch with Jette through her Facebook group “Copenhagenrentalservice” and it was magic! Jette helped me immediately and, in less than a week, she found me a great room, with perfect location and price. She was with me meeting my landlord, looking at the place and giving me all the recommendations on how to handle the contracts. Unfortunately, I wasn’t smart enough following all the pieces of advice she gave me and found myself, at the end of my stay, having troubles getting my deposit back without a proper signed contract. One month passed, then another one and still had nothing back and no news from the landlord. Once again Jette helped me handling this unpleasant situation. She was perfect giving me all the possible hints and, in less than a week, we together managed to have my full deposit back without any issue. I was really impressed by the passion, skills and care Jette put into her job, treating me as a son not only when looking for a room but, even more pleasantly, during and after my stay. I also learnt much from what happened and I’m happy to share with you this piece of advice: BE CAREFUL ON CONTRACTS AND DEPOSIT! It’s your money you are talking about and you really don’t want to lose them or get tricked by anyone. You better follow what Jette recommends. You may not be as lucky as I was. In the end. Thank you for everything Jette and hope a great stay in Copenhagen to all of you! Bye!"
Omar usa 20.5.15 Happy Birthday Jette!! I will never forget how you helped me in Copenhagen two years ago! I want to wish you a wonderful day full of laughs, smiles, family and happiness. Have fun! smile
Lucia.. vanløse Mesinez Feliz cumpleaños Jette!! I hope you get back all you deserve for helping so many people. Even though you are far away from one of your daughters, i hope you bear in mind that one of the reasons sons/daughters have the courage to take risks in their lives to achieve their dreams is because of their parents, in this case I am pretty sure you were that kind of mother that transmits courage to their daughters, and hard work! Big hug from me and enjoy your day as much as you can (the sun is finally shining after these past days of rain). smile emoticon
Stella 12.000I wanted to say extremely Big thanks to Nielsen Jette, who helped me in an a very exceptional situation by giving me fast, adequate advice, moral support and constant uplifting. I don't think I could have managed to solve these issues, if it was not Jette. In my opinion, it is a miracle to have enthusiasts like her, who help international students during tough times and everybody should appreciate the efforts and time she spends in the whole process. I'm very grateful and I wish there were more people like her. I can say to the other students out there, having problems with apartments, and being desperate, to listen to her and be patient as the thing will fall into its place sooner or later.

Hello, I am Diego, a Jette's satisfied customer smile emoticon I just want you to tell my experience. At the end of last year I was really struggling to get a place (even after been living for a year in CPH) and a couple of days before becoming homeless, I found Jette by mistake on FB. Luckily she replied back soon with a really great accommodation for me and my friend in a dreamy house with a very good price. The communication and contract went smoothly and she took a lot of pressure and stress off my back. At the new place met two other people whom I really got along with and the experience was really fun. At the end of the contract I was really sad because I didn't want to leave the house and my roommates, but also I was very glad and satisfied with all the experience. Jette, thanks for everything and keep it up as you're doing it now smile emoticon
Pilar stella august 16 "Hi Jette, H and J are back and tomorrow I will go back to Italy. I have had the most beautiful time here, the house is wonderful, and Danes are great people. I managed to get my CPR , I spent the whole month going around with my bike, the weather was funny but I am getting used to it. I don't if you have ever been in Italy. You can't go out like that, you have to "behave", wear the right clothes, smile and don't talk back when some guy tells you something bad in the streets, always pay attention when you are alone. There are no job, no opportunities, and if you are a woman everything is worst. Public administration is a nightmare and you have to figure out everything by yourself. Bad transports, bad services. Now, I am in a foreign country, I get confused often when I talk in English, and I don't know Danish. I have been alone a whole month, but I didn't feel lonely. I had help from every people I talked to whenever I needed, I could go out and come back home all by myself without fear, I could wear wherever I want without thinking about other people. It was very simple to get the CPR. It s been a wonderful month, and even though I thought I would have spent August here and not July, I want to thank you for making it possible, to helped me with the room. One thing I noticed this month: Danes are not afraid that other people will cheating. At least, non as afraid as Italians. The first time I talked to you I thought, why this woman is so kind? What is she really planning to do? How can I prevent any trick she would do? And this month here I have noticed that Danish shops put clothes on the streets, without worrying that someone could steal. In Italy you can't do that. I have lived here for only one month and I feel free to be whatever I want to be, or wear, or eat, and so on. But I have also meet other Italians and listened to their thoughts about Denmark, and unfortunately they were disappointing. It doesn't matter, what it does matter is that I am very happy to be here, H and J are great people, really, and you have been very helpful, and now I think I understand it a little better. You know, all these things made me feel not angry, not impatient, and if you are Italian you always feel like that, because there are so many things wrong that you just be always angry. And one last thing. I don't know why, but Danes smile when you look at them sometimes. I don't know why, but it is something I want to do myself, because it helps release the stress and the anger. I want to thank you for all of this, and I am grateful. Have a great time."
Giulia Angeli I am one of them. One girl that Jette helped. I'm proud of that job because i have risked to find a scammer and when i talked to her for an accomodation she found me a good place with a nice family and i feel good there.
