well, try to say "Dzien Dobry" when you passing by them in the building and flash a polite smile. Could not hurt for now and keep an eye on other possibilities:) for the future. Sometimes all it takes is saying Hello. If those ladies are older, they maybe be having some trust issues. People are the same all over the world, but older people could be tricky sometimes:).
Who knows. In one months time you might be singing a different tune. I am an optimist:)
Unfortunately none of them speaks English and came here only a month ago.

USA, Canada / Why Americans of Polish orgin do not exist in the USA politics? [34]
From what I understand politics is a "career" in the US. I have watched a documentary on it and I think that Poles just don't have the tradition nor the skills to par it up with other political wizzards. Is is possible that Poles in general are happy with non-political achievements in the US?

there is a difference between being a trooper and taking unnecessary risk.
How much is a doc's visit these days? Are you telling me that you don't have a health insurance?
I would just borrow money from a friend or offer the doc some English lessons to pay it off. Come on now:)
I suppose , because i am a survivor... During my life i have so many times had close encounters with death and serious injury , and i guess i am confident all will be ok....

Its slightly different now i suppose , as i don,t have the money to go seeing doctors , so i suppose i should be worried...

from my observations he is an equal opportunity hater. Homosexuals is not the only group he has negative feeling about. This does not make him a better men, but we cannot expect tolerance from somebody of his caliber:)

Real Estate / Cancelling Tenancy Agreement Before End Of Contract Query [10]
well, you got the law behind according to the advice you have received from the layer, so I think you should be OK. From what I understand, he has not right to do that.
If in doubt, have somebody with fluent Polish on Saturday at your place for the purpose of negotiation, support and as a witness (that should put him in place I hope) and if that does not make you comfortable enough, change the locks and stay until you able to leave.
I would put my foot down if I were you and leave when it was initially agreed upon, unless you choose otherwise. Law is on your side and he can talk all he wants, unless you received the wrong advice from the lawyer. Double check to make sure.
DO NOT LET HIM INTIMIDATE YOU:)
good luck.

sounds like a good advice. I think that he was just trying to scare you and if you stay within the one months notice period I think you should be fine, since this is what the law dictates.
Keep it cool and don't let the landlord intimidate you. As long as you leave the place the way you found it you should be OK.
He has not base for taking you took court if you fallow the civil code rules.
He looked though the contract and said as there is no mention of this, civil code will apply, and that means that one months notice is required for us to leave or for him to evict us. He told me not to meet with the landlord again and to stay put and go through what was agreed at the meeting with the landlord this afternoon, which was stay here for the next few weeks and he can keep the 1500zl deposit. I thought okay, let's do that...

News / Polish nursery rhyme book says Germans smell and gipsies sell their children... [28]
It is hard to say, but what I have observed so far the problem is not keeping is away from children (easy to to since you, as a parent have some agency to what the child is exposed to) but the reaction of some people who see nothing wrong with it.
It is racist, it is outdated, it is just not cool anymore to have something like that printed. It is simply a low blow to a fairly good children lit in Poland.
Would it be possible to have a sane rational threaded discussion on this subject. I don't know Polish society so I am curious how this is going down.
