Am I allowed to rent out my home on Airbnb in Denmark?
Yes, but within a day cap, with tax and only if your owners' association allows it. If you let your year-round home via a reporting platform such as Airbnb, you have a tax-free allowance of 35,100 kr in 2026 (13,800 kr if you manage it yourself). Only 60% of the income above the allowance is taxed. The whole home may be let for 70 days a year via a reporting platform (30 days if you manage it yourself), and the municipality can raise the limit to 100 days. If you let just a room while you live there, the day cap does not apply. A housing cooperative is stricter and usually needs board consent.
