In Poland, rental prices continue to rise due to the influx of refugees and general inflation, sometimes by up to 30% annually. However, this rise in prices is accompanied by an increase in demand for renting two- and three-bedroom apartments.
What is the cost of rent in major cities in Poland?
According to TRAVEL RBK-Ukraine with reference to yavp.pl, the average cost of renting a house in major cities of Poland is currently as follows:
Cavaliers (studio apartments up to 30 square meters) are no longer so popular, with only 6% of the demand for them. However, a significant part of the requests were for 2-room (25%), 3-room (also 25%), and 4-room apartments (15%).
The greatest interest is generated by 2-room apartments, for which the following price ranges are most often sought:
- in Łódź up to PLN 2000 (24%);
- in Poznan and Wroclaw - for PLN 2500;
- in the Tricities (Gdańsk, Sopot, Gdynia), Krakow and Warsaw - 3000 PLN.
Meanwhile, 3-room apartments, although popular, attract the attention of potential tenants four times less. This is possible due to higher utility costs for a larger living space.
