Real Estate / Problems with Father's property in Poland - inheritance [6]
Well if the apartment is in his name in the Ksiega Wieczysta then it is up to him what he does with it. His house, his rules.
So you probably have to wait for nature to take its course.
If you are a Polish citizen you also need to be careful not to inherit his debts - might be a nasty surprise, so check that out.

Classifieds / A open position in Krakow for Polish students [7]
I use OLX for advertising for interns - get fairly good response rates and it keeps junk out of your email inbox. Be very clear about what you need - if they have to speak English or have tech experience.
And be prepared for some appalling standard of replies - the quality of applications and manners has gone south since Covid and you will have to pay about 25 zloty an hour for an English speaker.

UK, Ireland / Moving To Poland - Cost Of Living compared to the UK [65]
One of the problems you will have is that the market for family homes to rent is small. Pre 1989 places are not comfortable and after that people started to build to their own weird specs and can't understand why you won't pay 7000 zloty to rent their dream construction.
Re your car be aware that there are some extra expenses here like winter tyres and that you will probably need to run a second car if your kids school isn't close.
And seriously get your papers in order or at least make enquiries - being married to a Pole will give you residency rights and I think you can work but I am not sure. Check it out because it can be difficult to fix those things retrospectively and COVID has caused long delays in the offices that issue those things.

You won't need to pay gift tax in Poland - you and your wife are one economic unit.
But you might need to check if you have capital gains tax in wherever you are tax resident. Depends if it's your regular house or a second property etc

The UK one certainly you need to pay Polish tax on though you should get a credit for any British tax paid.
You would be much better off asking your question on one of the Brit expat Facebook groups. Maybe Brits in Poland. Here you mostly get trolls and flame wars

How does it balance out ? Wages for people who have a job are not increasing by 5 or 7 percent. Taxes are increasing for the hard working people in order to fund election handouts. The increase in the economy is only because we are not locked on our osiedle any more.
The real inflation is probably higher - certainly for middle class people. Things you need to work are where a squeeze is really felt - petrol, public transport, parking, coffee, clothes. The items the government measures are a farce - a list of consumer items that you have probably never heard of, unless a balecon sandwich is a popular breakfast in Sydney.
It's quite tiresome to have someone in Australia tell us how well we are doing.

The thing is Amiga that we are paying the wages of these losers through our taxes. Your taxes are just funding the Aussie army in their fight against people taking exercise without a mask.

Real Estate / Termination of fixed term lease in Poland [28]
The landlord would have to find you, get a lawyer and then wait for a court date. At the moment there are huge delays for small cases due to the backlog from Covid. That's why if I were you I would just get your new flat, leave and post the keys to him.
There is no way the court will start arguing about allergy documents for such a small amount but in any case it would be pretty unheard of to send those to your landlord - I know these days everyone thinks medical records are public but they shouldn't be and you have no obligation to show them.

Just leave and it's unlikely he will take you to court. You are not obliged to describe your medical conditions to the landlord.
But be fair - leave the flat clean tidy and accept you might lose your deposit

A tax deduction is not the same thing - you only get it if you work.
I'm more or less in favor of 500+ - I agree that it's given dignity to a lot of parents. It's all the subsequent handouts that I have a problem with and especially the reduction in retirement age and the massive increase in taxes for people like me
Not a problem for you - you don't pay tax here and you are probably paid somehow from public funds
