Similarly as above, the demand remains at the constant, average level and traditionally increases in the period of August - October in relation to the beginning of the academic year and in the period of December - January when institutional lets and leases of flats for business purposes by management and company staff prevail.

The locations which attract the interest most are as follows:

Śródmieście - the city centre and mild prices at the same time,

Stare Miasto (Old Town) - high prices are the barrier here; apartment flats are predominant in the offer,

Fabryczna - in spite of some distance from the centre, lower prices and quite efficient communication (especially public) are a stimulus here,

Krzyki - there is the largest supply of new flats in developer's housing estates at the outskirts of the city here; lack of public communication to the city centre is a drawback here.

Rent contracts are concluded for the period of one year or for an undefined period of time.

The largest supply refer to 1- and 2-room flats, then 3-room flats.

Good flat standard - fully furnished and with some basic aesthetics and comfort provided - is a relevant condition which must be fulfilled to rent a flat promptly. Unfurnished or randomly and anaesthetically furnished flats are hard to rent. People who rent a flat are prone to pay even more if they get a chance to immediately move and live in quiet, aesthetic interiors.
