What you pay when moving in
- First month's rent in advance and a deposit — most often one month's rent, returned at the end if there is no damage.
- Agency commission — if you rent through an agency, agree it in advance.
- Bills — electricity, utilities (Infostan in Belgrade), internet; the contract states who pays, usually the tenant.
The lease
Make the lease written and include: rent and due date, deposit and return conditions, term and notice period, who pays the bills, and an inventory of furniture and equipment (ideally with photos of the condition at move-in).
Foreigners: address registration
A foreigner staying in private accommodation must be registered with the police at the address — usually the landlord does this shortly after you move in. Agree on it when signing; the registration certificate is also needed for temporary residence.
