The minimum stay period is the minimum number of months a property can be rented, usually defined by the landlord. This is the minimum number of months the landlord is willing to rent out their property. In case your rental period is shorter try to look for alternatives on our website with a different minimum rental period.

Tenants are responsible for meeting immigration/stay obligations.

We support and guide, and we clearly show what each landlord/property is willing to provide (eVisitor / notarized consent / in-person consent).

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.

• 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.

Stay calm and respectful:

• Listen to the complaint and try to reduce noise or adjust behavior if it is reasonable.

• If the situation continues or becomes uncomfortable, inform the landlord and HomeInZagreb in writing, explaining what happened.

• Avoid shouting or escalating the situation in hallways or common areas.

Consistent complaints from neighbors can lead to landlord pressure and, in serious cases, termination of the tenancy, so it’s important to react early and constructively.

In most cases, pets are not allowed, unless the landlord gives explicit written consent in advance.

If pets are allowed by special agreement, you may be:

• responsible for any pet-related damage or extra cleaning, and

• expected to keep the apartment free of odors, hair, and noise issues.

Bringing a pet without permission can be treated as a breach of contract and may lead to:

• extra charges, and

• possible termination of the tenancy.

If you lose the keys or damage the lock:

• you must inform the landlord immediately,

• the landlord may need to change the cylinder and keys for security reasons,

• the cost of new keys and lock is usually your responsibility.

If you do not pay directly, these costs can be deducted from your deposit at the end of the tenancy.
