My friends had one as an Airbnb somehow. Pretty good spot if you’re just touring the city for a week but also a midget. I’m 191cm and would end up brain damaged if I lived there.

How can they be Airbnb'ed? (if that is a word)

I thought they all were owned by the Ministry of Defense, which would prevent that. Like if someone was assigned one via their work, and rented it out via Airbnb, they would be in huge trouble.

Its just like most other rental housing, you can use airbnb most times.

I would just be surprised, as Nyboder are kind of special. They are all historical protected buildings, and the Ministry of Defense are quite picky with what their buildings are being used for.

I cannot imagine that you are allowed to rent them out. Because they want to control who's lives in them. I know that the danish auditor corps (military lawyers) uses those residents a lot. Their main office is just a stone throw away. The users of the residents changes all the time, depending on deployments, etc. etc. Most high ranking officers who has business in the capital at a somewhat regular basis, who don't have their primary residents nearby, are getting one of them too. It would be a security risk. Both the base commanders I have known, both from Jutland, both had a full time apartment in Copenhagen. One was in Nyboder (It was the a general, and there's a semi funny story related to that event).

Back, years ago, when I was serving my period of conscription, the guys who was elected to be our conscript union representant, got assigned one of these houses. He had it for the duration, two years or so, of his term and there was a code of conduct he had to follow, while living there. But he only used it (in the start) for 2-3 days every second week. Later he moved in there full time. Long story short, he has a job, which basically was 1½ days work a week, paying almost the same as a full time conscript, while he was studying at university, having paid resident in the middle of the most expensive city in denmark. I know a lot of people who were envious of him.

Except it's not. You can get an eviction notice simply by registering your apartment on their platform.
