Law on Rental of Apartments, if approved in the current version by the Sabor, apartment owners (rental agreement holders) get a precise date on when they can fully freely dispose of their property - September 1, 2023, while their protected rental allowance will start increasing step by step from September 1, 2018.

The draft of the final bill on amendments to and supplementation of the Law on Rental of Apartments has passed its second reading in the Sabor, with some parliamentary clubs requesting a third reading, thus making it possible for the bill to undergo further changes.

According to Glas Slavonije, the Ministry of Construction and Spatial Planning considers that amendments to the Law on Rental of Apartments will finally resolve a 20-year-old problem, one affecting 3,726 apartments in Croatia, related to protected lessees/residents who have been living there since the end of the Second World War.

Law on Rental of Apartments, if approved in the Sabor in its current version, gives apartment owners (rental agreement holders) an exact date on when they can fully freely dispose of their property - September 1, 2023, while their protected rental allowance will start increasing step by step from September 1, 2018. The amount for the rental allowance increase on September 1 of the current year is fixed and amounts to 1.20 times the protected rental allowance the lessee or protected sublessee paid on August 31, 2018. The protected rental allowance paid by the protected lessee and protected sublessee for an apartment not owned by a local authority unit, regional authority unit or the Republic of Croatia will increase every 12 months, from September 1, 2018 to August 31, 2023. Protected lessees and protected sublessees are obliged to vacate the apartments no later than September 1, 2023 if they do not sign a new rental agreement with the apartment owner. If they fail to vacate, the apartment owner can submit a lawsuit for eviction to the competent court, which will have to be resolved through an expedited procedure - thus it will not be able to happen that such cases drag on for years through the courts.
