Each property will show one of these options:

A) Consent via eVisitor (short stay only, up to 90 days)
The landlord registers your stay in eVisitor within 24 hours of arrival. This is for tourist/short stays and does not replace semester+ MUP residence procedures.

B) Notarized landlord consent (MUP-ready)
The landlord provides notarized consent (typically via a notarized lease or notarized owner declaration), which helps avoid extra steps and usually avoids the landlord needing to appear in person.

C) Landlord consent in person (at MUP/police station)
If documents are not notarized, the landlord will appear in person to give consent/sign at MUP/police station as required.

If you need something for your university, employer or visa before the contract is ready, we can provide:

• a booking confirmation

• a VISA confirmation

A sample Tenancy Agreement can also be shared for information so you can see the structure and main rules.

• The final contract is prepared and sent a few days before your arrival.

• We wait until this moment because then we have the most accurate information: final dates, roommates, travel changes, and any landlord updates.

You still have time to:

• read everything carefully,

• ask questions,

• share the contract with your parents or advisor before signing.

Yes, in most cases we or the landlord can provide:

• a confirmation of your tenancy and

• a statement of rent paid, based on the records you and the landlord have kept.

If you know you will need this for your university, employer or future landlord, it is helpful to:

• keep your own proof of payments (bank statements, transfer confirmations), and

• request the confirmation before or shortly after your move-out, while everything is still fresh.

HomeInZagreb and the landlord can:

• provide the necessary housing documents (for example, tenancy agreement or confirmation of accommodation),

• inform you in general terms that registration of stay is required under Croatian law.

However, the legal responsibility to:

• understand the rules,

• follow the correct procedure, and

• respect deadlines,

belongs to you, the tenant.

You must check official sources (police, Ministry of Interior, embassy, university) and complete all steps yourself. HomeInZagreb and the landlord cannot be responsible for your immigration or legal status.

Before the inspection and key handover, you should:

• remove all your personal belongings,

• clean the apartment thoroughly (including kitchen, bathroom, floors, and fridge),

• dispose of trash and food,

• return any items that belong to the landlord to their original place,

• make sure all keys are ready to be returned.

You can also take your own photos of the apartment and meter readings. A clean, well-presented apartment reduces the risk of deductions from the deposit.

If you want to stay longer:

1. Contact HomeInZagreb as early as possible (usually at least 1–2 months before your contract ends).

2. We will check with the landlord if an extension is possible and under which conditions.

3. An extension is usually treated like a new booking, which can mean:

• a new service fee,
• possibly a new deposit arrangement, and
• a new contract with updated dates and, in some cases, a new rent amount.

Do not assume your stay is automatically extended. You need a new written agreement.

HomeInZagreb can try to help, but there is no guarantee that:

• a suitable replacement will be found, or

• that they will accept the same conditions and dates.

Until a new tenant is fully approved and signs the necessary agreements, you and any co-tenants remain responsible for:

• rent,

• utilities, and

• other obligations under the original contract.

Leaving early is your own decision, so the responsibility remains with you unless the landlord formally releases you in writing.

Sometimes yes, but only with approval and new paperwork.

Changing names on the contract usually means:

• the landlord must agree to accept the new tenant,

• a new contract or an annex must be signed,

• HomeInZagreb needs updated data for records and compliance.

There may also be administrative consequences, such as:

• a possible new service fee for processing a new booking,

• recalculation of deposit arrangements.

You should never assume that someone can simply “take over your room” without formal approval and signing of the correct documents.

If there are multiple tenants on one contract, they are usually jointly and severally liable. This means:

• each tenant is responsible for the full rent and costs, not just “their part”, and

• if one person leaves early, the remaining tenants are still responsible for the full rent until the end of the contract, unless a new agreement is made.

If someone wants to leave early:

• they should first discuss it with their roommates,

• then contact HomeInZagreb and the landlord to see if a replacement tenant is possible, and

• understand that until a replacement is found and a new agreement is signed, the original tenants remain responsible.
