* **Summary**:
  * The biggest Danish tenants' association (Lejernes Landsorganisation, LLO) reported that from mid-August 2018 to mid-August 2019 there was a 22% increase in the number of complaints it received regarding landlords in Copenhagen: it went from 1,413 to 1,727 cases.
  * The increase was reportedly due to foreign corporate landlords like Blackstone ([which at the time operated in Denmark through 360 North](https://www.blackstone.com/the-firm/press-releases/article/blackstone-acquires-360-north-integrates-the-company-into-long-term-danish-residential-platform), which now is called Kereby).

* **Regulatory levels**: local (Copenhagen municipality), national (Danish government), EU (single market, regulations that restrict the construction of public housing in member states).
