A Danish property company is putting cash on the table for anyone who can help fill its rental units. Kjøller, the Copenhagen-based real estate firm, is now offering a tenant referral reward of up to DKK 5,000 to anyone who connects them with their next signed leaseholder no professional background required.
How the Tenant Referral Reward Works
The premise is straightforward: if you know someone actively searching for a rental property and refer them to a Kjøller listing, you stand to earn DKK 5,000 the moment that referral converts into a signed lease agreement. The company is calling the payout “Findeløn” — loosely translated as “finder’s pay” — and is inviting the public to register via its dedicated Finder’s Salary List sign-up page on kjoller.com.
Magnus Kjøller, an entrepreneur-turned-investor and the face behind the initiative, announced the program on LinkedIn, urging followers to spread the word. “Do you know someone who is looking for a rental property?” he wrote, framing it as an opportunity open to virtually anyone in their personal or professional network.
The move reflects a growing trend among property managers to tap into word-of-mouth pipelines rather than relying solely on traditional listing portals. Referral-based tenant sourcing has gained traction across European real estate markets as vacancy costs continue to pressure landlords.
Why Kjøller Is Crowdsourcing Its Next Tenant
Rental vacancy is an expensive problem for property owners — every empty unit represents lost income and ongoing maintenance costs. By incentivising everyday people to act as informal property scouts, Kjøller sidesteps the slower conventional route and potentially shortens its turnaround time between leases.
The program requires no formal agreement upfront. Interested participants simply add their name to the Findelønslisten the Finder’s Salary Listand begin identifying prospects within their own circles. The reward is only triggered when a referral results in a completed, signed tenancy contract, which limits the company’s exposure while still creating a meaningful financial incentive for participants.
There is currently no stated cap on how many referrals an individual can submit, suggesting that regular connectors within busy social or professional networks could potentially earn the reward multiple times.
How to Sign Up
Getting started takes minutes. Visit the Findelønslisten registration page on kjoller.com, add your details, and start thinking about who in your network might be apartment-hunting. The offer is open now, with no advertised end date published at the time of writing.
Frequently Asked Questions About Kjøller’s Findelønslisten
Kjøller has published answers to the most common questions about the program. Here’s what you need to know before signing up:
What exactly is the referral bonus and how much can I earn? The referral bonus is a cash reward paid out when someone you recommend signs a lease on one of Kjøller’s available properties. The exact amount is announced per property via email, which is why registering on the list is essential but the payout can reach up to DKK 5,000, roughly $700 USD at current exchange rates.
How does Kjøller know a tenant came from my referral? Every time a new lease is drawn up, Kjøller asks the incoming tenant directly whether someone recommended the property to them, and if so, who. This means your referral is captured and credited even if the tenant doesn’t mention it immediately.
Do I need to register before I start referring people? Yes, and this is a critical detail. Your referral only counts if you are already registered on the Findelønslisten before the tenant is recommended. If you haven’t signed up yet, Kjøller advises doing so immediately so any future referrals can be properly linked to your account.
When and how is the reward paid? The finder’s fee is released once three things happen: the lease is signed, the new tenant pays their deposit, and the referral is confirmed. After that, Kjøller reaches out directly to arrange the bank transfer.
Who can join, and what am I committing to? Anyone can register you don’t need to be a current Kjøller tenant or have any connection to the real estate industry. There is no ongoing obligation. When a suitable property becomes available, Kjøller sends a brief message to everyone on the list. You then decide whether you want to participate. It’s entirely opt-in.
Can I remove myself from the list? Yes. You can unsubscribe from the Findelønslisten at any time by replying to one of Kjøller’s emails or by contacting them directly. Removal is processed within two business days.
