Meter readings

MeterMeter numberReadingElectricity (day rate)
How to read it

On an electronic meter the display changes about every ten seconds; the day rate is marked TAR 1 or code 1.8.1. Write down only the whole number of kWh, without decimals. On an older meter with number wheels, copy only the black digits; the red ones are decimals. A single-rate meter has one reading: put it in this row.

Electricity (night rate)
How to read it

The night rate is marked TAR 2 or code 1.8.2 (21:00–07:00 in winter, 22:00–08:00 in summer). The meter number is its serial number, usually also printed on the back of the bill.

Gas
How to read it

Copy only the black digits up to the comma; leave out the red ones after it. The reading is in cubic metres (m³). The meter number is the serial number on the meter's plate; it is also on the bill under "Broj plinomjera".

Cold water
How to read it

Copy the water meter reading in cubic metres (m³) and the meter number from its plate. If the building has only a shared meter, water is split by the number of people in each household, so leave this row empty.

Hot water
How to read it

Only some flats have a separate hot-water meter, for example in buildings with a heat substation. Write it down like cold water, in m³; if there is none, leave the row empty.

Heating
How to read it

District heating is read every month: HEP reads the building meter in the substation, and a reading company reads the radiator allocators remotely. If the flat has a heat meter, you can copy its reading from the display; allocator values are impulses, not kWh. With neither, heating is split by floor area, so leave the row empty.

Why it's worth it

The record is the best proof of the state you got the flat in. When damage or the deposit comes up at move-out, it decides, not memory.

Photograph every room and the meters as well, with the date. Keep the photos for as long as the lease runs and for a while after you move out.

The Housing Lease Act already requires a record of the flat's condition at handover (Art. 12(2)). The draft of a new act, presented on 31 July 2026, adds meter readings and photos to it; it hasn't been passed yet.

Common questions

Is a move-in inspection report required in Croatia?
Yes. The Housing Lease Act says the landlord and the tenant “sastavljaju zapisnik kojim se utvrđuje stanje u kojem se stan nalazi u vrijeme predaje” (draw up a record of the flat's condition at handover; Art. 12(2)). The law doesn't ask for meter readings or photos, but it's wise to add them: they show from when you pay the bills and the state you received the flat in.
What goes into a move-in report?
The meter readings, the keys, an inventory and the state of every room, with dated photos. At move-out, sign a second report with new meter readings and the day the keys were handed back: the two reports are your evidence against any deduction from the deposit.
Does NajamStanova.com store what I type?
No. The form works only in your browser: we send and store nothing, and a reload empties it. Print the report or save it as a PDF.
