Tenant profile — helping foreigners rent in Poland

Renting an apartment in Poland as a foreigner comes with nuances. Landlords ask about documents, residence status and income. The language barrier adds stress. Homerenty helps at every stage — from searching to signing the contract.

What documents landlords ask for

Requirements vary, but the most common are:

Passport
Valid travel passport or ID card
Residence permit / Status
Temporary residence card (karta pobytu czasowego), permanent, visa, UKR status with PESEL
Income verification
Employment contract (umowa o pracę), B2B contract, income statement
PESEL
Some landlords ask for PESEL — especially for najem okazjonalny
Not all landlords require everything on this list. But the more complete your tenant profile in Homerenty — the higher the chance they will choose you.
