A Community Agreement sets out the rules and shared expectations for how members of a Danish housing community or cooperative (andelsbolig) will live and work together. It covers everything from noise levels and common area use to maintenance responsibilities and decision-making processes.

Danish law requires these agreements to align with the Cooperative Housing Act (andelsboligloven), while giving communities flexibility to create rules that fit their needs. The agreement becomes legally binding once approved by the general assembly and helps prevent conflicts by clearly stating everyone's rights and obligations. Most Danish housing cooperatives update their agreements annually to reflect new community needs.

Create a Community Agreement when establishing a new Danish housing cooperative or updating rules for an existing one. This document becomes essential before residents move in, when significant changes occur in the community's composition, or when existing rules no longer address current challenges.

The agreement proves particularly valuable during conflict resolution between residents, major renovations, or changes in shared facility use. Danish housing associations typically review and update their Community Agreements at annual general meetings to maintain relevance. Having clear, documented rules helps prevent disputes and ensures smooth community operations under the andelsboligloven framework.

• Housing Cooperative Board: Drafts and proposes the initial Community Agreement, ensures compliance, and manages updates based on resident feedback

A Community Agreement differs significantly from a Co-living Agreement in several key aspects, though both deal with shared living arrangements. While Community Agreements govern entire housing cooperatives under Danish andelsbolig law, Co-living Agreements typically focus on individual living arrangements between specific roommates or tenants.

• Legal Scope: Community Agreements bind all cooperative members and are registered with housing authorities; Co-living Agreements are private contracts between specific individuals
• Decision Making: Community Agreements require formal voting processes and board approval; Co-living Agreements need only the consent of the direct parties involved
• Property Rights: Community Agreements cover shared ownership and cooperative membership; Co-living Agreements focus on personal space usage and shared expenses
• Duration: Community Agreements persist with the cooperative and transfer to new members; Co-living Agreements typically end when residents move out
