The Polish rental market even more expensive
There are no signs of slowing down the price expectations of landlords. The latest data prepared by the real estate service Otodom show that in some cities increases in rental rates were double-digit. However, the biggest changes compared to June took place not in the case of the smallest, but more spacious premises.
We can talk about the “studio revolution” in the case of Gdańsk. For the first time, the average offer price on the rental market in this town turned out to be the highest among all ten analysed cities. Gdańsk was slightly ahead of Warsaw, where for the smallest units, up to 38 sq m, the average rate was PLN 2,551.
