Difficulty: mediumCity administration

Putting the utility account in your name

Role-play: at the city administration counter you find out how to have the utility account transferred to your name (Prepis računa).

Where it happens

City administration
The city hall on Trg slobode — the municipal counters: civil-registry extracts, certifications, utilities and address matters.

Who you talk to

Ljiljana (city administration clerk)
Ljiljana works a counter at the city administration and is used to explaining the same thing ten times a day. She does it calmly: she checks what exactly you need and tells you which counter comes next.

What you need to do

  1. Say at the counter why you came: to have the utility account put in your name.
  2. Ask which documents are needed and whether the owner's consent is required.
  3. The complication: you are told it is a different counter or a different company. Calmly ask exactly where to go.
  4. Ask what happens to any debt left by the previous account holder.
  5. Repeat back what you need to bring and say thank you.
