Strong legal protections for tenants under the Housing Act (SZ-1): tenant can give 90 days' notice, landlord needs just cause to terminate an indefinite lease
Mid-term, fully furnished apartments for nomads are readily available via Flatio and Spotahome, some deposit-free
Universal social health insurance via a single public insurer (ZZZS); care from public and ZZZS-contracted providers generally has no patient co-payment and no reimbursement paperwork.
EU/EEA/Swiss visitors can use the EHIC for medically necessary care from ZZZS-registered/contracted providers on the same terms as residents; the EHIC does not cover planned treatment or giving birth.

Watch out for

Ljubljana's rental market is tight and fast-moving (around 3 percent vacancy) — good apartments are taken within days, so monitor listings daily and prepare documents in advance
Long-term stock can be unfurnished, which may mean extra setup cost for shorter stays; furnished apartments typically rent for a premium over unfurnished equivalents
Compulsory ZZZS insurance is mandatory and tied to a defined insurance basis (employment, self-employment, study, pension or registered family member); temporary residents without such a basis are not automatically covered and may need private insurance.
Since 1 January 2024 the voluntary complementary insurance that covered copayments was abolished and replaced by the flat compulsory health-care contribution (OZP) — older guidance that still references dopolnilno zavarovanje is out of date.
