The contract is between:

• the landlord, whose name, address, OIB, bank account and contact email are listed in the Basic Terms; and

• the tenant or tenants, whose names, addresses and ID or passport numbers are also listed in the Basic Terms.

If there are multiple tenants in the same apartment, they are jointly and severally liable, which means each tenant is responsible for the full rent and all costs, not just “their share”.

The Tenancy Agreement is the legal contract between you (tenant) and the landlord. It defines the property, rent, deposit, utilities, rules, and what happens at move-in, during the stay, and at move-out.

It is signed for a fixed period (for example, from January 1 to December 31) and the rights and obligations start on the day both parties sign the agreement.

You are.

The tenant who signed the contract is fully responsible for:

• the behavior of guests and visitors,

• any damage or disturbance caused by them,

• any fines, cleaning, or repair costs.

This includes problems caused by friends, classmates, or visitors you barely know. If they are in the apartment as your guests, you carry the responsibility.

Overnight guests are very limited:

• The Tenancy Agreement requires you to inform the landlord about anyone who stays longer than 24 hours or uses the property for overnight stays.
• Repeated or frequent, unreported overnight guests can be treated as unauthorized occupants and a breach of contract.

And remember: an overnight stay after a loud party is still part of the same problem – if there was a party or disturbance, it is already a violation.

If you host a party or group gathering, you are breaking the contract. The landlord has the right to:

• terminate the tenancy with a short notice period (usually 7 days), and

• keep your full security deposit as compensation.

On top of that, you may have to pay for:

• any damage in the apartment or building,

• extra cleaning,

• fines or costs caused by your behavior.

HomeInZagreb cannot “protect” you from these consequences – they come directly from your agreement with the landlord and from Croatian law.

The Tenancy Agreement requires you to:

• respect quiet hours, typically 22:00–08:00,

• keep TV, music, and conversations at a low level during these times,

• follow all laws and building rules related to noise.

• If neighbors complain or the police are called, this can be treated as a serious breach of the agreement.

Because most apartments are in residential buildings, not party hostels or clubs. Parties often cause:

• noise complaints from neighbors,

• visits from building management or police,

• damage to furniture, floors, and walls,

• extra cleaning, broken items, or trash in common areas,

• tension with landlords and building owners.

To protect neighbors, landlords, and future tenants – and to keep you safe – parties are completely forbidden.

Normal social life is fine as long as you:

• keep the number of visitors reasonable,

• respect quiet hours (generally 22:00–08:00 under Croatian rules),

• avoid loud music and shouting,

• do not disturb neighbors or roommates,

• follow any additional house rules the landlord or building has.

Once a “quiet visit” becomes crowded or noisy, it is considered a party and becomes a violation of the contract.

In this context, a “party” or “group gathering” means, for example:

• more people in the apartment than those listed as tenants,
• loud music, shouting, or singing,
• drinking sessions that disturb neighbors,
• “pre-drinks”, after-parties, or celebrations that go beyond normal, quiet social visits,
• any event that creates significant noise or crowding in the apartment or building.

Basically: if it looks, sounds, or feels like a party, it is not allowed.

No. Parties and group gatherings are strictly prohibited in all apartments and rooms rented through HomeInZagreb.

The standard Tenancy Agreement clearly forbids any kind of parties or group events inside the property, and it requires tenants to respect building house rules and Croatian noise regulations.

If you move out before the end rent date:

• this is usually considered early departure,

• you may still be responsible for rent until the end of the agreed period,

• unless a replacement tenant acceptable to the landlord and the agency is found

• or the landlord agrees in writing to end the contract earlier.

Leaving the apartment and handing back the keys does not automatically end your rent obligation.

The key reference is what is written in the Tenancy Agreement and any written termination agreement.

Once your start rent date arrives:

• rent is usually due once per month, on the due date defined in the contract,

• each payment covers a rental period (often from the 1st to the last day of the month, or from the contract start day each month).

You must continue to pay:

• every month,

• until the end rent date,

even if you decide to leave earlier, unless an early termination agreement is made and confirmed in writing.
