Finding accommodation

In Slovenia you can choose from among the following types of accommodation: hotels, apartments, private rooms, rented accommodation, motels, bungalows, campsites, youth hostels, school/student halls of residence.Notices about the purchase, sale and letting of property are published in daily and weekly newspapers (Delo, Dnevnik, Večer), magazines, on property agents’ websites (nepremičninski Oglasi, Nepremičnine SLONEP), and in other printed media.
The price of property depends on the location, size, age and fittings of the property concerned and changes constantly in accordance with supply and demand. Property prices are highest in the capital Ljubljana and also in Koper, Maribor and Celje.
RentingThere are no restrictions on citizens of the EU and EEA with respect to the purchase and commercial letting of property, and therefore you may purchase or rent property regardless of where you come from. Slovenian citizenship is only a condition for renting non-profit accommodation.You will need only a valid identity document in order to rent a property and sign an agreement.Registration of the agreement and tax payments are performed by the landlord.
