Paying Bills
Paying bills in Croatia is a strange process to me. The bills come in the mail each month, which is standard, but paying them is weird. Many families, including us, take the bills to the post office, or other bill paying location, and pay each bill in cash.
Renting apartments is another strange process. You are expected to pay the rent, apartment or house fees (similar to condo fees), and all utilities. All of the bills come in the name of the owner of the property and you have to pay them in the same manner as other bills. You can’t put utilities in your name, including telephone.
So when there’s a problem with a utility, because it’s not in your name, it can make it that much harder to get fixed when broken :)
