Signification
Searching for housing
Contexte culturel
Finding an apartment often happens through 'word of mouth.' Before checking websites, many Croatians ask their friends and family if they know anyone renting. In cities like Split, 'tražiti stan' is difficult because of tourism. Landlords often rent to locals only from October to June. The neighborhood 'Sava' (near the student dorms) is a popular place to 'tražiti stan' for students who want to be near the action. Older generations might still refer to 'društveni stanovi' (social apartments), a concept from the former Yugoslavia where apartments were owned by the state.
