π Finding Your Home in Poland β Renting Without Stress
Your Safe Haven Starts Here π
Looking for an apartment in a new country can be overwhelming and stressful. Different rental systems, unfamiliar legal terms, potential scams β it's easy to feel lost. But it doesn't have to be this way!
This meeting will equip you with knowledge and tools to find a safe, fair rental and avoid common pitfalls. Whether you're just starting your search or already negotiating a contract, you'll learn how to protect yourself and your money.
π― What can you expect from the event?
π Decoding rental listings
Learn to read between the lines of Polish rental ads. What does "do wykoΕczenia" really mean? Why do some listings seem too good to be true? We'll teach you red flags to watch out for and what questions to ask landlords before viewing.
π° Money matters β deposits and beyond
Understanding the deposit (kaucja) system is crucial. How much should you pay? When and how can you get it back? What documents do you need? We'll cover common disputes and how to protect your rights from day one.
π Legal protection β rental types explained
Poland has different types of rental agreements, and they're not all equal. We'll explain what "occasional rental" (najem okazjonalny) means for you, how it differs from standard rental, and what companies can help you navigate the legal maze safely.
π‘ Utilities and bills β no surprises
Electricity, gas, water, internet β how much should you actually pay? Learn how to read your bills, understand fixed costs vs. consumption-based charges, and avoid getting overcharged. We'll show you typical monthly costs so you can budget properly.
π¨ Scam prevention
Unfortunately, rental scams targeting foreigners exist. We'll teach you warning signs and verification methods to ensure you're dealing with legitimate landlords and agencies.
