Are you still protected? What's the risk?

Hi everyone! So, I know there are supposedly 5 meals a day in Poland, which are breakfast, second breakfast, dinner, desert (which I've heard sometimes is part of the dinner?) and a light supper. I do expect people living with their families to eat mostly like that, but I can't imagine your average wagie or college student bothering to prepare so many meals. Also, every desert option I've found seems to be sweet and sugary, and I don't imagine people eat like that every single day.

So, my question would be, how many meals do you actually eat a day? Are second breakfast and desert really common among younger people? If you do have desert, do you actually eat it as a different meal, or just have it at the end of the dinner (obiad)? And is it often cakes and doughnuts, or do you go for healthier options like fruit or yogurt?

Landlord demanded girlfriend to throw kitten out today

My girlfriend rents an apartment and moved in with a large dog and her mother, and has been there for over a year.

They recently got a kitten, which has been well behaved and house trained.

Their rental contract has no mention of pets being allowed or disallowed, and they were working on the logic the landlord had no problems with a very large dog, so a kitten shouldnt be a problem.

Turns out the landlord absolutely hates cats and wants it gone today, demanding an update that the cat is out by the end of the day.

My girlfriend is under the impression that if she keeps the kitten for a few days while we figure out a place for it to stay, the landlord will arrive during work, let herself in, and harm the cat.

Im from the UK, so im not familiar with Polish rental rights. But as far as Im aware:

1. A landlord cant enter a property without permission and without supervision by the tenant, unless police/fire emergency.

2. Anything relating to pets must be in the contract, and permissions specified to be enforced.

3. Any demands of removal must be given in writing with a reasonable timeframe to action.

Anyone with more experience in these matters able to shed some light on the situation? She is in month-to-month contract right now, so the worst I can imagine happening is a written termination of lease if she doesnt remove the kitten. Giving her a month/60 days notice to evict.

She is panicking right now and convinced she has to give the cat away today and im trying to reassure her. Ive requested my own landlord (that has a request for pets agreement in the tenancy) if i can have the cat at my place, but she hasnt responded yet.

Id appreciate any help/guidance for the three month old kitten named Baya.

Does anybody know how to exterminate them completely? It's pissing me off!! Any products you recommend and where I can buy it?

I recently inherited an apartment in Poland (Rzeszow area) and don’t want to sell it because I’m planning to retire there within next ten years. Apartment is about 75 sq meters and monthly payment is about 800 zlt plus gas and electricity. I looked online for places for rent with similar specs and they go for about 1700-1900 zlt. The profit is not so big that I have to rent the place but I would rather have it occupied yet I want to avoid any potential headaches down the line when it comes to me coming back to Poland to live there. Questions that I have are:

1. who pays utilities such as gas and electric?
2. water is included in the 800 zlt I mentioned but I know amount changes with the usage. So that 800 zlt may become a 1000 zlt. Is tenant paying for the actual water used or is it something I’m covering regardless?
3. let’s say the lease will be signed for 2 years and at the end of the lease I will not renew it for whatever reason but tenant doesn’t want to leave. How hard it is to get someone out?
4. also if someone stops paying rent how hard is it to get someone out?
5. who prepares the lease agreement?
6. any words of wisdom?

Thank you all in advance.

It’s cloudy as hell in Warsaw and saw nothing 😭, maybe anybody saw them in Poland? Share your photos!

Hey!
I live in Finland, and I am a big fan of Poland and military wear. I made an account just to post this.
I found this shop called "hanet(dot)com(dot)pl", and I was wondering if it was legit. It offers international delivery from my understanding, at least if DPD does cause it says it's one of the delivery methods.
Cheers! And thank you in advance!

Hi everyone! I am an EU citizen who, for strong family reasons, is considering the possibility of moving to Poland in the next 3 years. I come from an engineering background and will soon graduate from a Masters in bioinformatics.

How is the job market for bioinformatics, medical data science or similar in Poland? I do not speak Polish yet, though I have started to learning it, so I imagine that could be an issue. Would it be feasible for me to find an entry-level job in that area?

Cześć!

Is it possible(and legal) to change cities after getting the TRC?

Situation: My wife and I are currently living in Gdansk for my work, and she got a job offer in Warsaw. My company has an office in Warsaw so they don't mind me moving. but is it legal to move to Warsaw after I got my TRC from the Gdansk voivodeship ?

Hello! Is it difficult for a foreigner to enter the Jagiellonian University in Krakow? I'm interested in the Faculty of Biology. Is it difficult to study there? Thank you!

Hello! I am a Canadian with a Polish husband and two dual national kids. We often travel to Poland to visit family (and have an apartment there).

Of course I keep half an eye out for job offers in Warsaw, esp at universities since I am a professor. Recently I saw an offer at SWPS which matches my expertise and abilities perfectly. I checked out their website and it looks like a legit operation and could be a decent place to work. But of course, websites are mostly marketing!

Can you enlighten me about their reputation, even informally? My husband has been abroad 20 years and doesn't know anything about it. And I only know what I see online. What's the word on the street?

Thanks!

Hi group,

I’ve got a probably basic question but as I got fully speak polish I’m having a hard time finding it out.

I’m working on a Umowe do praca contract and each month on my pay check I see that 10% of my gross salary goes to pension, and the same amount is being payed by my employer.

In my case it’s okay 5k zloty per month combined which goes into this pot which is significant amounts of money if you speak about money you get back at retirement. So my question then is, is this going into my own private retirement fund?

Hey, Im a non EU citizen finishing studying medicine for the 5th year in Slovakia. I'd like to do my medical specialization (residency) in Poland, and I'm learning the Polish language for this purpose. As my native language is an east Slavic language, I'd say that my understanding of Polish is not so bad, I can watch videos and podcasts in Polish and understand, between 60% to 80% of what I hear. My spoken and written Polish are still pretty bad though, hoping to improve that within the next year. Does anyone know how long and complicated will it be for a non EU citizen with an M.D diploma from an EU country to get accepted into a residency program in Poland? Will my heavy Russian accent be a problem? How can I improve my chances? In case it matters... Im a 30 year old dude, no family in Poland.
