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:
Valid travel passport or ID card
Temporary residence card (karta pobytu czasowego), permanent, visa, UKR status with PESEL
Employment contract (umowa o pracę), B2B contract, income statement
Some landlords ask for PESEL — especially for najem okazjonalny
