Before contacting

Add up the full monthly cost: rent + the administrative fee (czynsz) + utilities - and compare it with your budget.
Ask about the deposit amount and its return terms before booking a viewing.
Confirm the move-in date and whether the photos show the current state of the apartment.

Check the heating type and ask for last winter's bills.
Note the window orientation and the noise source outside - open a window and listen.
Inspect corners, alcoves, and window surrounds for damp and mold.
Run the shower and the taps - water pressure can only be checked on site.
Check cell coverage in every room, including the bathroom and the kitchen.
Test the appliances: washing machine, fridge, and stove - switch them on, do not just look.

Get in writing what exactly the administrative fee covers and what you pay separately.
Understand the contract type: a standard lease or najem okazjonalny (the latter requires a notary visit).
Arrange a handover protocol with photos and put the deposit return terms into the contract.
