Summary/Abstract: The problem of housing in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia was segmented and was treated without general principles and solutions, which would have eliminated disparity resulting from differing degrees of progress and inherent cultural and religious variety, and would have allowed a uniform and systematic approach to the problem of housing. One of the reasons the situation remained unchanged was the material benefit that the landlords gained from the scarcity of housing space, which was hardly alleviated by the construction of unsuitable and unhygienic living quarters or by the slow progress in housing legislation. The problem of housing never exceeded the margins of local politics, despite efforts made in legislation and through various publications to solve this problem at the national level.
