Real Estate / False advertising? Poland rental property advice. [34]

Pawian, no the video showed a perfectly presented property. I guess it was old footage of the house when it was first renovated. This footage was sent before signing the contract when i asked for extra footage of pics of the property.

Okay your first comment made you sound like an idiot and as useful as a chocolate tea pot and now you coming up with crap that has no help what so ever and just being an idiot. At first i thought just ignore it but now clearly you are just trying to provoke a response or trolling.

Such things happen everywhere in the world, so stop being a twat and jog on.

Paiwan, I was contemplating even wasting any more time bothering responding to you but seeing as you are literally mocking my situation and being nothing but relentless in pursuing that I hope these pictures will be suffice in not only shutting you up but also changing your outlook on the matter.

I have nothing to gain from posting this apart from gaining advice. I have visited Poland many times and always been fond off the country and have had great respect in general for the people and the warmth I have found in this country. However I am not a liar and am in a awful position. You may be right about building relegation and inspection in Poland however on this occasion something has failed drastically and I am the person suffering for it.

I have nothing negative to say to you and hope you can look at the google drive link I have shared (which is also a open link for anyone to view) I have attached only a handful of the 100s of photos I have just to give you an example of the condition however If you wish I can upload the lot. I think the 30-40 photos I have uploaded is enough proof to show they are not found on google especially with the resemblance throughout.

I hope this changes you opinion on this matter and hopefully you may be able to offer actual good advice rather than further slating my predicament.

Please read what I have wrote in the beginning message. I was in the UK, I found a property advertised online which had alot of pictures that shown the property in perfect condition. I asked for further evidence by providing a video and pictures as I was unable to travel at the time due to Covid-19. The agent provided me all of this and reassured me many times that the property was high spec. I paid on that assumption and was unable to move until the borders were reopened.

Yes, i agree maybe it was naive of me to rent a property before seeing it however I had no choice and after checking the agents website and further evidence of pics and video I was persuaded that it was the right choice.

I do not understand why still you choose to think as If i purposely bought this on myself, I am simply asking a question which is do I have any rights? I am not fluent in Polish and only learning. The law is very vague and was hoping that maybe just someone out there who is Polish and can speak English may have a answer or experienced something similar who can point me in the right direction. Especially down to the fact that If i don't pay I can be criminally charged.

I hope that clears that up or in your eyes and from your messages you probably think I deserve it and just get on with it as I am a sucker!

I am trying my best to get out of it and currently on the search for another property but there are not many to rent in Poland at the moment. I am meant to be getting married in 3 weeks so i just finding everything very difficult to organise especially as I have only just organised myself to get here. The cost involved is also a huge consideration as I have had to pay for a wedding and relocation. I was in the hope that the agent would give me back my deposit, commission and the rent I have paid so far which is around 15,000pln not including relocation costs of another 10,000pln.

However I am under the impression that as I have signed a year contract and owing money is a criminal charge in Poland that I may not have a choice but to live here, pay to make the property safe for my own welfare. The property is located just on the outskirts of Gdansk.

The ideal outcome would be for them just to repay me, however I can not see that happening so the next option would be taking them to court but I have no idea what the Polish courts are like and the chances of me getting my money back even if I went to court including the obvious expense of taking them to court!

To me this is criminal and I no it doesn't make any difference but if this happened in the UK it would be a criminal offence and was hoping that maybe the same would apply here. Just very difficult to find out when all the law is in a language I don't speak!

@cms neuf - here is a link to some photos so you can see for yourself. Okay that is great to know. I am going to get out of here asap just have to find somewhere. I have about 100 more photos and some of the worst ones are not even in the file as my internet connection has been real slow and loads to go through.

Thank you for your help

@Dolnoslask

I have been recommended a solicitor kindly by someone on here who can speak English and obviously Polish, so going to contact them tomorrow with the hopes of getting this sorted! Thank you for your help.

My fiancee is Polish, but moved to the UK as a young girl and is rusty with the language and not up to date with the law. She has also currently planning the wedding whilst trying to sort this so has her hands full. She has been trying to deal with the agent the best she can but recently they have not been responding or calling back at all, same as the landlord. Last week was the final week they had to sort everything but didn't so hence now why I am trying to gather all the info I can from everywhere I can. Luckily we have been given a telephone number of a recommended solicitor who she is going to call tomorrow.

I was in a way hoping someone might know from experience what chances I would have in court or if it was even worth bothering or if its best just to move on and cut my loses before I incur more charges by going the legal route.

Also her relatives are based in the UK and USA so won't be much help. We made the decision to move to Poland as we have a EU based business and bloody Brexit thrown a spanner in the works so thought why not move instead of losing the business!
