A good question.
A useful answer.
Key questions about housing employees and working with property owners. Read the full guides for details and sources.
For companies
Worker accommodation: from enquiry to move-in
Do we need an exact departure date when enquiring?
If it is unknown, give the expected duration or range. Before renting, agree how departure and extensions will be confirmed.
Do more beds mean a property suits a bigger team?
Not by themselves. Check the layout, area, bathrooms, equipment and applicable conditions. Beds are not proof of compliance.
What belongs in a comparison?
The same dates and occupancy, total price, included costs, deposit, commute and cancellation or change conditions.
Contracts and handover
A company rental agreement: what to check
Is the company automatically the tenant if it pays?
Payment alone does not establish that. The agreement should identify each party and role; payer, tenant and occupant may be different.
Can we use any online template?
A template is a starting point for questions, not confirmation of suitability. Check the rental model, occupants’ rights, authority, taxes and current law.
How do we replace an employee during the rental?
Agree the notification process, required information and any amendment in advance. Do not assume every change is permitted automatically.
Budget
Team accommodation costs: the full budget
Should the deposit be included in monthly cost?
Show it separately as initial cash needed. Its final effect depends on the agreement and settlement.
What does a per-person price mean?
Check the occupancy, period and included services. With fixed whole-property rent, per-person cost changes when occupancy changes.
Is the calculator tax advice?
No. It compares entered costs, without determining VAT, employee benefits, deductibility or accounting treatment.
Standards and rules
Worker accommodation standards: what to check
Can compliance be calculated from floor area alone?
No. Consider all requirements applying to the specific accommodation, including layout, occupancy, equipment and bathrooms.
Does this guide certify a property?
No. It is an informative checklist. A particular property needs assessment of actual conditions and the complete applicable framework.
What if more residents move in?
Check the agreement and conditions before the change. Adding a bed does not itself create permitted capacity.
Contracts and handover
Apartment handover: a practical checklist
Can photographs replace a handover record?
Photos help, but may not establish the date, location, repair agreement or number of keys. Link them to a clear written inventory.
What if we cannot test an appliance?
Record that it was not tested and agree a later check. Do not confirm a function that has not been verified.
Is this a mandatory legal form?
No. It is an editorial checklist. The contract and rental circumstances determine the appropriate handover and evidence.
For owners
Renting an apartment to a company
Does a company guarantee regular payment?
Company status alone is no guarantee. Check the contracting party, payment terms and suitable safeguards.
Must the owner file a tax return personally?
It depends on the owner and payer. FURS describes withholding by a Slovenian tax payer for a private owner outside business activity. Do not apply this automatically to other cases.
Can the company replace all occupants without agreement?
Agree the process in advance. Check the contract and legal model and identify the required information and amendments.
Standards and rules
Foreign workers: accommodation and arrival
Does a rental agreement also settle work permission?
No. Use of premises, address registration and the right to reside and work are separate. Check the relevant conditions with the competent authorities.
Who registers temporary residence?
Responsibility depends on the accommodation arrangement and the person’s status. Consult GOV.SI or eUprava for the specific case rather than assuming the owner always does it.
What should a resident receive before arrival?
A confirmed address, arrival instructions, contact person, key arrangements and understandable information on living conditions and costs.
For companies
Business rental apartments for project staff
Does business rental always mean a whole apartment?
No. The search term describes the business purpose. Define the extent of use and legal relationship in the offer and agreement.
What should we check in a furnished apartment?
The actual inventory, layout, internet, kitchen, laundry, parking and included services. A general furnished label is not enough.
Can we always extend if needed?
Only when an extension is agreed and confirmed. Check the notice period, price and dependence on future availability.
