Work / Advertising for Hotel manager in Krakow [8]

I've recently taken over the management of a family apart-hotel in Krakow, very close to the train station. The first thing I have to do (and get right) is find a manager. I'm based in the UK and do not speak Polish so it's not easy.

I've been in touch with an employment agency and have had an offer for them to find a manager for me but I've also seen that there are several websites where I might advertise (such as HotelCareer.pl).

What I think would be helpful is if I can post an advert on a few relevant forums.

Are there any useful FB forums where the hospitality Industry in Poland (Krakow) communicates?

I'd really appreciate some links to relevant FB forums.

As I don't speak Polish, I will need a manager whose English is good to very good. Would it be a good idea if I post the ad in English or should I have it translated?

I think the reason I prefer not to go through an agency is to be able to communicate with lots of candidates. I am not necessarily looking for a traditionally trained and educated candidate and feel I will get better results if I'm more closely involved.

Any ideas, links etc would be greatly appreciated.

Real Estate / Is there an issue with sitting tenants in Poland? [5]

My father has an apartment block in Krakow which he lets on short term basis using a local manager.

This arrangement is very unsuccessful on many levels some of which you can easily imagine, but he claims that the alternative of having normal longer term tenants is very risky because the law in Poland protects the tenant and enables the phenomenon of sitting tenants (tenants who refuse to leave and occupy the property indefinitely often without paying rent).

Searching online, this doesn't seem to be a concern in threads such as paulkaczmar's 'Buying a property in Poland to rent out from the UK' from the 7th of July 2011.

I am trying to get more involved and help out with my father's property and its management and would really appreciate if you could share your knowledge and let me know what are the real threats from sitting tenants, who can I get good professional advice from on protecting myself (and my dad) from this threat?
