Hello all,

I will be moving to Bydgoszcz in January and I would like to ask you if there is any website where there are posts with flat rentals directly from the owner. Also, if you get an apartment via the agency, how much is the commission for them?

Thank you

Often the agency takes the first months rent.

gumtree.pl, but the site is in Polish
If you take an agency, they can also agree to 50% of the monthly rental fee, but it might depend on the agent you will be working with (in our case it worked and we paid 50% instead of originally requested 100%). I dont regret for having the agency "in the middle", because they were really helpful.
