Flat rental in Warsaw

I am looking for a flat to rent in Warsaw and its so hard to rent.Rental prices are outrageous.Does anyone know any portal where I can rent a 1 bedroom flat.Thx in advance.

I take it you have local contacts or you know at least the lingo?
If not, you're really screwed unless you look like a hunk!

Yes,I do but dont want to bother them and have just basic knowledge of Polish.

@Lyzko
What do you mean?I dont get it.

Nobody understands Lyzko; he is an enigma of PF.

It won't be better.

Simply that it's highly unlikely for a complete outsider to arrive in Poland just like that and rent a flat without either an intro aka lapowka or look physically as though that person would fit in.

Poland is not like Western European nations in this respect.

That's all I meant, no offense.

What nonsense.

The number of Brits alone rose from 41,000 to 185,000 in recent years, and somehow they all managed to rent or buy a flat - even after Brexit. Stop trying to scare they guy. He will manage all right.


... and the place is a sh*thole.

What's wrong with Poznań, Wrocław, Gdańsk or Kraków (or a dozen other large cities like Szczecin, Lublin, Bydgoszcz, Katowice etc.)? Why is everyone going to this absolute kip Warsaw?

Possibly, however Poland, as with other countries with a Black Market past, doesn't simply allow foreigners to rent unless the broker or landlord has been reached somehow in order to "smooth the way",so to speak.
Sorry to disappoint you, Bambi😄.

Why bribe? There are plenty of real estate agencies with transparent price lists.

Sure there are.
However, as here in the US, a little envelope doesn't hurt either.

What planet are you on ? This is 2025

None taken,I booked airbnb for 30 days for2500pln,that might give me time to search for one.

You're way too old to be using this word. :)


His own.

Come on, people! What planet are YOU living on?? Bribery was as much a daily staple in the Black Market as La Kamora or L'Indranghetta, still alive and well in present day Italy!
Get your heads out of the sand.

We are talking more about a 50 sqm place in Targowek - not sure what Italian gangsters from Netflix have to do with that

I booked a 37 sq m flat directly from the owner in praga,he also agreed to extend it and maybe sign a one year lease if I pay 300 pln flat fee for utilities.I think is a fair price.

Any business transaction in my professional experience involves some sort of added incentive and anybody who claims opposite is LYING!
Such can come in the form of either a close personal or professional referral, even a letter of reference from a cleric, but never have I heard of waltzing into another country, "Hi, I'm here!", and effecting a deal, sight unseen.
That's pure BS, gang!

I am doing it,asked the owner to sign a lease with notary public as advised by my friends and he agreed but after my 1 month of living there as I need to feel the location,transportation etc.

Smart move there, guy!
Glad to hear it. Last but not least, brush up on your Polish skills.
Finally, foreign girls like to turn tricks with nice looking Englishmen, Aussies or Yanks, so watch out!
A word word of advice.

I am not a hunk but middle age,a bit overweightI only by few lbs.
What tricks? like stealing money etc????

Sorry forgot to add,I am none of the above,I amk an mexican trying to self deport myself so I can one day be back to the USA and we dont need visa in the EU for 90 days.

Got it, Rotten!
Again, best of luck.

Thank you sir,also you think I can get a job in any restaurant as a cook helper,dish washer, food delivery etc on cash?I have 5 year experience in that and am a very hard worker.

But learn some basic Polish!!
Broken Globish and hand signals only go so far.

I would but dont know where to start from.I think I will go to Poland and while working I will learn from colleagues.But is it easy to find work for cash in Warsaw?I think in my line of work knowledge of Polish should not be a problem.

They will only know a few Polish words...

If you know "kurwa mac" and "pierdole", you are almost there...Add chuj and dupa and you are ready to take the final exam.

Ha-Ha!
Much as knowing the "f-curse° plus caveman talk is enough prep. for a foreigner learning basic American??

There are 138 meanings of the word "pierdole". This takes years of practice.

I have learnt those from my fellow workers here in the USA,who also self deported themselves last week with ICE promotional 3000$ and a plane ticket(which has encouraged me to do so also) but now I have no body to teach me more,lol I also know the word "Na zdorovye" very well lol.

Can you please elaborate.

Kurwa simply means slut, among other combinations!
