Podgorica, (MINA-BUSINESS) – The Tenants’ Association of Montenegro has welcomed local measures such as partial subsidization of rent in Podgorica. 

 However, it believes that these measures are temporary, limited, and insufficient.

President of the Association Dragan Zivkovic stated in a press release that an unregulated rental market and the complete lack of legal and institutional protection remain the main problems. 

The Tenants’ Association of Montenegro warned of the increasingly difficult position of tenants, who are one of the largest yet most unprotected social groups in the country. 

“Renting is no longer a temporary phase, but a long-term reality for tens of thousands of citizens, including young families, employees, pensioners, and students,” Zivkovic said.

He noted that the problem faced by tenants has escalated significantly over the past two years. Excessively high rents, the absence of written contracts, sudden evictions, deposit abuses, and the lack of institutional protection have pushed many families into an inability to live and function normally.
