Real Estate / Apartment rental in Poland: Termination of the agreement before the date [27]

Hello everybody,

I am currently living in an apartment in Krakow, for a 6 months rental, and unfortunately the apartment is very cold and I already got sick and missed work.

It caused serious problems actually.

What I would like to do, is to leave this apartment and find another one, warmer and smaller.

The fact is, I have a 6 months agreement concerning this flat.

My polish friends told me that I can leave the apartment but I will have to notice the owner one month before the month of leaving and I will have to pay the rent.

Basically, if I tell him now, I have to pay for december but I can leave whenever I want or even stay until the end of december. they told me that the deposit has nothing to do with it and I will take it back.

As the agreement between I and the owner stated that I have a 6 months rental period, I would like to know in your opinion if there will be any problem if I decide to leave the apartment.

Thank you very much for your help.

Regards

Hello,

Thank you for your answers. It`s very helpful.

I bought a thermometer in order to get to know what`s the temperature inside.
Basically, it varies from 19 degrees to 21 degrees, depending of the hour. It`s getting cold around 9pm as the heater is slowed down to prevent high electricity cost.

The worst part is the bathroom : around 16 degrees. There is a heater in the bathroom but I can`t figure out how it works. I asked he owner to pass by the apartment, but he didn`t answer to my request. He only writes me back when it`s about money. I`m so ****** now.

Anyway, I read again my contract and it notices that the terms are for 6 months. So I guess I`m completely f****.

Because, if I can leave this apartment, I don`t care to pay one month rent for nothing, it`s not big deal. But 6 months becomes a lot of money.

I`ve been in Poland for 3 weeks now, and all this kind of paper work, sending letters to this owner sound like a pain in the ass for me.

I read something interesting in the contract : it says that if I don`t pay the rent, the owner can finish the agreement. Maybe if next month I move to another apartment and I tell him I won`t pay it will be ok. Maybe I will loose the deposit.

Anyway, what a disapointment, I was so stupid to not take in consideration the heating and height of the roof when visiting. Such a nightmare now.

Life / Where to buy flowers in Poland (Wroclaw / Krakow / Nowy Sącz)? [10]

Merged: Polish websites where I can order flowers to send to someone in Krakow?

Hej :)

I would like to know if you can recommend me a polish website where I can order flowers to send to someone in Krakow.
I live in Krakow and I have a polish credit card so I think it won't be an issue on this side.
Also, if you have experience to share about it.

Thank you in advance :)

Real Estate / Interior Architect Prices in Poland [13]

Hello,

I am currently in the process of buying a flat in Poland, Krakow.
It will be on a developper state.

I'm trying to get some information about how much it might cost to fully furnish it, painting, kitchen, bathroom, floor, furnitures, etc.

It's a 2 bedrooms flat, 50 m².

Do you have any idea what could be the cost of everything, from discussion with an interior architect to the work done by contractors?

Thanks!

Real Estate / Interior Architect Prices in Poland [13]

Hello,

Thanks for your answers.

I have already started to talk about it with my polish friends and it seems that mostly it's their family members that took part of the work. A cousin, father ... for them it is not expensive but the overall work is quiet basic.

I am more looking for something a bit design for my flat.

I have received some quotations for interior architect :
from 60 pl / m2 to draw plans of the future flat up to 120 pl/m2 for most advanced plans (with electricity features, etc.).

More or less, it costs 4,000 pl for 50m2 flat to get the plans for further work.

What I am missing now is the prices of the actual work and furnishing.
My developer sent me some proposal, from 600 pl /m2 up to 1200 pl /m2 according to the standard.

But it only covers floors, bathroom, paintings, etc. I'm still missing the design/furniture.

I would like to know if it sounds reasonable to plan 50, 000 pln to cover everything in relatively modern standard? Not only white walls and a basic bathroom/kitchen.

From my internet research, they are dozen of offers.

If anyone has a feedback on it, I am really interested, thanks.

Salut Niczko,
Dzieki za info.

I'm living in Krakow but I prefer to have someone local to supervise the work. That's why having a "full package" from design to end of work is welcome.

I will contact the person you mentioned to have a first meeting.

According to what you said, it is realistic to plan 1.5k/m2 to have something interesting. Then I need to buy also all movable furniture (sofa, tables, bed, etc.).

So it could be (50m2 x 1.5PLN) + furniture

Any idea, what could be the price of everything (furniture included)?

Also, do you have any pictures of your final flat to be shared?

Thanks!

I confirm, Niczko provided me his contact details and he is willing to show me the currently stage of his flat. Also he sent me some pictures, after/before.

Very helpful and willing to help.
