Accommodation for International Students in Poland

Dear Sir/Madam

I represent SimpleRent Company that would like to offer its help in finding accommodation to your students coming for their Exchange Program to Poland. We have been already renting flats to international students in Poland for 3 years and we have developed our cooperation with plenty Universities and their International Offices here in the county. Now, according to the fact we are more and more advanced in our services and we can say we have successfully rented flats to around 250 international students (mostly in Wroclaw, Krakow, Gdansk, Warsaw and also a few in Poznan and Katowice where we also want to be more visible this year; we are additionally launching our offices in Lodz, Lublin and Szczecin next term), we want to broaden minds and reach students in their home institutions. What is more we don’t want to be anonymous abroad. We want you and your students to know about us before they even contact their University in Poland.

The fact is that accommodation means a lot for international students when they come to Poland. Most of Universities in Poland have their own dormitories, where they have rooms reserved for International Students, but not all of them. Very often students are not satisfied with their standard (they have to share their room with one or two other people and bathroom, kitchen with the entire floor). It is very common that students are forced to search for an Accommodation on their own. Sometimes they simply prefer to create a group of flat mates and rent a flat together. Especially it is not very expensive in Poland. Nevertheless it is not so easy to find and rent a flat from private owners in the country. First of all there is a language barrier between students and owners who often can not speak English. What is more, such a short period of rental (1-2 semesters) is not very attractive for owners who definitely prefer to rent their properties for at least 1 year (12 months) with holidays included. Even if they decide to rent a flat to Erasmus students they ask them to pay more so they can cover extra expenses caused by their quick removal.

It is why SimpleRent Erasmus brand was created! To help international students in searching for a flat and mediating with the owners! But it is not just another real estate agency that specializes in renting properties to all kinds of clients… SimpleRent is a young and dynamic Real Estate Agency specialized in renting properties on the Polish Real Estate Market. Its SimpleRent Erasmus brand dedicates its services only to the foreigners looking for an accommodation in Poland.

We cooperate with hundreds of owners who are ready to rent their flats to the foreigners (we have already rented their flats to several international students during the last 3 years and they still want to cooperate with us; we additionally search for new owners and flats each semester!). We alsodeal with all formal issues like documents, contracts which, we bring and offer to our clients (we want to make sure all students who rent flats with our help have tenancy contracts that are legally binding and protect their legal rights) etc.

The headquarters of our company is located in Krakow, but we have the branches in all the major cities in Poland (Katowice, Poznan, Gdansk, Warsaw and Wroclaw). This term we are also launching our offices in Lodz, Lublin and Szczecin. It means that our offices are located in the same cities where most of the international students choose to study. It is not a coincidence! We want to be a company that dedicates its services to young people, especially students.

That is why we have created a special project focusing on international students. We cooperate with many Polish Universities and their International Offices that inform their students about our services (mailing, presence during Orientation Days at Uni, Flyers and other documents in offices etc.).

Now we would like you to know about us and our offer! If your University has any students interested in going to Poland you can send them some information about us (Application Form, Company Presentation and some other documents enclosed to this email). If they are interested in renting a flat in Poland they can contact us directly even before they come to the country! We will find them a great accommodation!

We are a company so we charge for our services! Normally real estate agencies in Poland take a commission that is 50-100% of 1 month rent (depending on a range of services). We do have 20%-30% discount for international students who choose us because of our cooperation with their Polish University or information from their University at home. It means they pay 70-80% of 1 month rent but only if they decide for a flat! Visiting flats is free! Students don’t pay before renting! What is more we don’t leave students just after they rent a flat! We have a special “Accommodation Officer” services that provides our help in all matters connected to the flat for the whole period of students’ stay in the flats. We can also offer them additional service: “First Days Service” – we will pick them up from the airport, drive to hostel, accommodate for the fist 2 days/nights and show some flats in the meantime. If they rent one of them, the costs of First Days Service are included into the commission (If not they pay for it – around 50euro per person).

We would be grateful if you could check documents attached to this email and inform us what you think about them and our service. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask. We will be pleased to know you give information about us to you students who decide to go to Poland.
