Publicly subsidized housing is a common concept in Denmark to ensure that housing options are available for everyone. The housing associations are non-profit and financially subsidized by the municipalities. To be eligible for a rental in a housing association, you must pay a small annual fee to become a member and to be on the waitlist, which are based on seniority, i.e. those who have been members longest will be first in the queue. Note, some housing complexes may accept pets, and this is typically noted on their information page.
