In this research, an attempt is made to present the field of real estate funds in Slovenia, to point out the differences between private and public real estate funds, and explore some possibilities of public-private partnerships in this field. ‘Consumers in Europe’ (2009) Eurostat data shows that in 2007 Slovenia belonged to the states which had more than 80% of owner occupied dwellings in their total housing stock, 4.8% of the stock presents commercial rental units and only 1.3% of the stock consists of non-profit rental apartments. This issue is being examined in order to establish whether an introduction of Real Estate Investment Funds to Slovenian legislation and their cooperation with public funds could contribute to solving the problematic lack of rental apartments in Slovenia, especially in the non-profit segment.
This paper stresses that fundamental procedural rules, such as lawfulness, fairness, openness, the possibility of active participation in forming a decision, explanations of decisions, transparent legal remedies, etc. must become a constituent part of normal communication between individuals and public authority bodies. The paper also places an emphasis on the perception of these institutes that should become part of administrative ethics so that it would no longer be necessary to consider whether a certain action is in accordance with the law or not. In this case, we could most probably expand the applicability of this procedure to the state administration, local self-governing bodies and holders of public powers of attorney so that we would be left with one single procedure that would be more adapted to the modern method of communication between individuals and public authority bodies.
