Hello! Kids' stuff is a very particular as we don't know what you compare to. There are several low-cost places where to get that kind of stuff, check for example Pepco or KIK brands. They have shops in every Polish city, even the smallish ones. Also, most of the things can be ordered on-line with home delivery. In Poland, we have Allegro e-commerce platform and it's very competitive!

Superb pani,, am grateful.. pls my husband is already in poland 1 month ago,, how long will it take for us to join him over there as family,, pls treat as urgent.. thanks

Hi and thank you for your comment! If you're interested in flt rental in Katowice, Poland, you can send us an inquiry directly at [email protected] :)

Here, at the beginning, you usually pay 1st month rent + security deposit. Then the payment is done monthly. How is the standard security deposit amount in US?

@@wellcomehome Thanks for the reply 😊 ...In Los Angeles at least, the security deposit is equal to a month of rent.

Hi! We recommend the Reloc agency - they specialize in immigration and legal issues :)

thanks!

Hi! We'd always say: "Katowice"! It's relatively "small" but has everything essential. Lots of parks for long walks, easy to commute, way cheaper than Kraków or Warszawa.

Actually we are :) food is similar indeed, but services and housing are cheaper.

Polish is a tough one, we know 🥸 But congratulations! You can if you think you can 😊 Thank you also for all kind words! Love to hear you like it!

There isn't, unfortunately... as for the damage, as soon as possible, but you never know when it is. Responsible landlord will do asap, but there's no official requirement

You can talk to the landlord, but they have no obligation to install one.

thank you!

Yes, the truth is that prices are overdue quite fast, but not 2.5 in our opinion :) But here's our updated blog post we did at the end of 2023: wellcome-home.com/guide/monthly-costs-of-living-in-poland/ Hope it helps and is more up to date! Cheers!

@@wellcomehome if we are talking about the cheapest options everywhere - then yes - just 1.5x. Last 1.5 years the cost of food just doubled. Orange flex - i pay 90zl Electricity - i was paying 120 and now it is about 300zl in the same apartment and same consumption Since the beginning of 2022 the costs of rent doubled. The costs of property is increased by 30% last 1.5 years.

What exactly do you mean?

@@wellcomehome can aussies work in poland

Great! You're welcome!

Hi! We're very sorry to hear that issue. The question is: did the Landlord confirm any minimum speed limit or other characteristics of the internet? In general, in Poland Landlord is not obliged to provide an internet connection, in most cases, it's on Tenant's side.

We totally agree :)

The problem is that self-employment conditions change so quickly that such a movie would be fast overdue. But an article maybe? Thanks for your idea.

@@wellcomehome yes also article sounds great! i think entrepreneurs that wat to go to poland wants videos about the "basics" (company creation, general info of taxes, business networking in poland cities, taxes declaration tools, poland as a country for pay taxes comparing to other european country that take 49% of your gross income, etc). :) some youtubers i follow for entrepreneurship in other european contries, used to create videos, and in case of big updates in a coming year, then they create a new "video update" in their Biz playlist, and always recommend to bookmark that youtube playlist so they have access of the latest videos :)

thanks!

if I want to rent flat in Katowice. there will be plenty of choice for me?@@wellcomehome

Hi! very city/district has its own labor office, thus may have different requirements also.

hi! Thank you 😊 We're based in Katowice so we assess our tenants here. Anyway, we recommend more videos and articles on this topic, also on our blog and guide: wellcome-home.com/guide/ Cheers! 🙌🏻

Hi there! We're not as much into this issue, but please reach out by e-mail [email protected] so we can somehow guide you. Cheers!

Hi Matt! That sounds delicious! As for the BBQ, what kind of patio do you mean exactly? Is it a house patio or an apartment one (next to your neighbor's apartment)? According to Polish law, it's not forbidden to BBQ on a patio as long as it doesn't produce smoke and doesn't disturb neighbors. Also, some neighborhoods may have their own terms and forbid BBQing on small patios. We don't know how your BBQ works so as you said: it's rather about being tolerated than legal advice 🧐

@@wellcomehome Please see the citation. Smokers do use smoke. Ideally no more smoke than using charcoal. It is NOT more difficult to BBQ (4) 4kg so I would hope neighbors would tolerate the smoking in exchange for meat. Here in Washington the fishermen hashed out techniques to smoke salmon in a way it's shelf stable for at least 4 years. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYfGmoelZayVpsU

thank you!!!

great!

Thank you for your comment and opinion. It's highly appreciated!

No wars 😉 Poland is really safe place and our tenants from all around the world confirm it's right.

👌🏻

There we talk about electricity use, but of course, it should be more 😀 Thanks for pointing out.

As everywhere: it depends on many factors. Also, cost of living and salaries are different in every city.

Also, if an apartment is causing health issues, how can you find out if there are allergens in the apartment or that the apartment is safe to live in?

Hello! There's no obligatory winter inspection in the apartment itself. Landlord may take care of the proper central heating start (if the furnace is within the building/property). As for the health issues, it's really difficult to find the right person to verify this as allergens are not the subject of technical supervision.

Rather not. If you renew the contract with no breaks, you're supposed to take care of it. Landlord may do the deep cleaning when tenants switch and before a new one is moveing in

Hi there! Thank you for your comment. Officially, you don't need to have any official caretaker if you are able to manage the flat-related issues. But from our experience, it's really difficult to be a good landlord without being around. Apart from the legal stuff (rental agreements, move-in and outs) there are also daily things like: regular maintenance, possible damages, tenant rotation. Definitely, it's better and way more convenient for both sides to have someone to take care of the apartment and also, to be entitled to sign the documents on your behalf. Check our last movie to know more landlord/tenant situations. Cheers!
