Moving into a rental property is exciting – but it can also be expensive. Especially if you lose all or part of your deposit when you move out.

Many students and young tenants find that even small things like drill holes in walls and ceilings can lead to large deductions when moving out.

Fortunately, there is a simple solution: drill-free curtain rods.

At Nord interior (NordInterior.dk), we offer solutions that make it possible to furnish your home - without risking your deposit.

How big is a deposit really?

In Denmark, landlords are allowed to charge up to 3 months' rent as a deposit.

For example, if your rent is DKK 8,000–12,000 per month, your deposit can easily be DKK 24,000–36,000.

In addition, 3 months of prepaid rent is often added. This means that many tenants pay a total of DKK 50,000–70,000 when moving in.

That's a lot of money – and that's why it's important to get as much back as possible.

Why do so many people lose their deposits?

The deposit is used to cover damage beyond normal wear and tear.

Typical reasons for deductions are:

Holes in walls from pictures and curtain rods

Damage to the ceiling from suspension

Need for puttying and painting

Professional renovation carried out by the landlord's craftsmen

Even small holes can lead to an entire wall having to be painted. And when the landlord orders craftsmen, the bill can quickly run into several thousand kroner.

For many young tenants, this means that a large part of the deposit will never be returned.

The problem with drilling into walls and ceilings

When you drill, you are making permanent changes to the home.

This means:

The wall needs to be puttied.

It must be sanded.

Often the entire wall needs to be painted

The color must be matched correctly

If it is not done perfectly, the landlord can choose to have the work done professionally - and deduct the cost from your deposit.

The smart solution: Drill-free curtain rods

Here comes the good news.

With drill-free curtain rods, you can hang curtains without making holes.

They are typically installed at:

Clamp or pressure function

Bracket without screws

Solutions that do not damage walls or ceilings

This means:

✔ No holes

✔ No filler

✔ Less risk of deductions from the deposit

Perfect for students and young people who move frequently

If you live:

In student accommodation

In apartment with temporary contract

In collective

Or just move often

...then drilling-free solutions make extra sense.

You can easily take the curtain rods with you to your next home – without leaving any traces.

Can everyone install them?

Yes – and that is precisely one of the advantages.

Drill-free curtain rods require:

No drill

No technical experience

No craft background

Installation takes just a few minutes and can be done by anyone – regardless of gender or experience.

A small investment that can protect thousands of kroner

When your deposit can be DKK 25,000–40,000, it makes sense to protect it.

A drill-free curtain rod is a small expense compared to a potential painting bill when moving out.

It's not just about decor.

It is about financial consideration.
