The relationship between non-profit and freely formed apartment in the municipality of Ljubljana

The graduation thesis present Acts that contributed to the development of the housing policy in Slovenia from 2000 onward. The main focus of the thesis is on the different types of rentals. Prices of profit rentals are determined freely, wich is not the case for the non - profit rentals, where the price of the rental is determined according to the Housing Act. Rents for aparments in Municipality of Ljubljana are analysed in details. Comparison between advertised freely formed rent and non-profit rent is included. Correlations between the crucial elements that influence the particular rental type and the way in wich they interact are presented. The data for the advertised freely formed rentals were gathered from various internet advertising sources and non-profit rentals were gathered from the database of the Housing Fund of the Municipality of Ljubljana. Advertised rental price is mainly influenced by the location of the apartment, its surface area and its age; on the other hand non-profit rent of the apartment mainly by it's age and the apartment's surface area. The methodology to determine non-profit rent of the apartment and the praxis in Municipality of Ljubljana namely show that the location of the apartment is not taken into account in the calculation. The analisys of the above mentioned rents showed that the advertised freely formed rents per unit are in the average almost four times higher than non-profit rents.
