Eviction in Croatia, getting a tenant or an occupier out of a property, goes through formal steps; an owner cannot simply change the locks or cut off the water. This page covers evicting a tenant in Croatia (iseljenje), a tenant who does not pay the rent or stays after the lease has ended, and squatters, people who moved into an empty house or flat without any right. Some older lists and lawyer pages call this service “Eviction Services”. It is for landlords and owners, including those who live abroad.
A notice that the tenant cannot be shown to have received may have to be repeated, so registered post is the usual route. Unpaid rent and bills are claimed together with the eviction or separately (see debt collection). Some old tenancies have a protected status with their own rules. The rules on residential leases are being reformed, so a lawyer checks the current ones.
A lawyer checks the lease and the land register, drafts the notice, brings the claim or the enforcement application, attends the eviction with the court officer and keeps an owner abroad informed, acting under a power of attorney. Disputes that do not aim at eviction are covered under landlord and tenant disputes; to avoid the problem with the next tenant, see rental contract review.
No. Self-help is not allowed and can expose the owner to a claim. An eviction is carried out through the court's enforcement.
It can let the owner skip the court case and go straight to enforcement once the lease has ended or the tenant is in default.
Acting quickly matters, because a claim for disturbed possession has short deadlines. After that, a claim to hand over the property remains, and the police can step in where a crime is involved.
Yes. A lawyer with a power of attorney takes all the steps; the owner does not need to attend.

This has been a very difficult year for my family and me, and throughout the legal process the lawyer stood by us. His service was impeccable until the very end. He advised us on the course of action that best suited our needs and dealt with every legal aspect of the case in the best possible way. I am totally satisfied with the service I got, and anyone facing a similar situation has my recommendation.
I cannot thank this lawyer enough and am so grateful I found her. She answered my emails extremely quickly and dealt sympathetically with all my concerns in a highly stressful situation. I feel she was excellent value for money, and she handled a complex issue in a calm and professional way that reassured me. When something was unclear she took the time to explain it, patiently and clearly, and recommended the most appropriate course of action. I would not hesitate to recommend her.
From our very first meeting the lawyer understood the situation and offered an excellent strategy going forward, which resulted in the best possible outcome. Highly recommended!
The lawyer helped me every step of the way, from a frightening set of circumstances to taking the reins and helping me considerably. I would not hesitate to ask for her help again.
A highly professional and pragmatic response. Several outcomes were possible in our case, and dealing with someone who knew the relevant law in depth and also advised us with the wider picture in mind made a refreshing change. Communication was excellent, and I believe the service was good value for money. For all our future legal matters we will certainly keep asking her to represent us and act on our behalf.
The replies were kind and fast and the advice was good. If I ever need legal advice again, I will certainly contact him. I am pleased with every contact I have had, and very satisfied overall.
The lawyer was extremely helpful, and no request was too much trouble. He is very friendly as well, and his manner puts you at ease at once. I would use him again, and my sister is also a client of his. Anyone looking for a lawyer fluent in English and Spanish (and Italian) who handles legal matters professionally and without delay should get in touch with him, and I strongly recommend doing so.
Very relaxed, not uptight, and all very good.
Confident, articulate, concise and polite. I have used eleven lawyers so far, and all of them pale beside him. One of my cases lasted 12 years, so I think I know a little about this gloomy trade. The best rise to the surface. I am happy, thank you.
The lawyer is a true professional: super efficient and completely fluent in English. He helped me with a difficult legal matter, took all the stress out of the situation and provided a pragmatic path to resolution, which is precisely what you need from a lawyer. The service I received was first class, and I cannot think of any area that could have been improved.
The lawyer is excellent. The necessary information about my case was collected and verified, she was understanding and responsive, and she explained my options and provided the appropriate solutions, in perfect English. The promised results were delivered on time. I definitely recommend her to my friends.
The lawyer gave an excellent service throughout. In our first phone consultation she set out our legal position and options clearly. She then handled the resolution of our property dispute efficiently and updated us regularly by e-mail. We are very satisfied with the result and would definitely recommend her to friends.
