No, they are three completely different things:
- Rent – paid to the landlord, usually every month.
- Service fee – a one-time agency fee for finding and securing the property, paid to HomeInZagreb when you book or extend.
- Security deposit – money held as a guarantee for damage/unpaid amounts, usually held by the landlord and returned according to the contract.
Rent does not replace the service fee or deposit, and the service fee/deposit do not replace rent.
