About the job

The Tenant Complaint Board is responsible for correct, high-quality legal case processing, which is why we place great emphasis on professional sparring and ongoing competence development. We believe this helps keep us sharp and up-to-date within relevant professional areas.

Your workday will feature a diverse portfolio of tasks, and your primary task will be to prepare cases for the Tenant Complaint Board. The work consists of drafting recommendations in cases for the board’s meetings, subsequently formulating decisions, and ongoing contact with tenants and landlords in connection with case processing.

At the Tenant Complaint Board we experience that cases can escalate in conflict level, and you will receive support and backing from your colleagues in handling this.

You have good collaboration skills, and you possess the flexibility and receptiveness that are prerequisites in a public organization where tenants and landlords are our clients. You have strong analytical and written drafting skills.

We would like you to have knowledge of the administrative rules on case processing. Furthermore, it would be advantageous if you have knowledge of or practical experience with the Danish Housing Act (almenlejeloven).
