Utilities usually cost an additional 300–700 PLN per month depending on the season and apartment size. When renting a room, utility bills are usually included in the rent.
⚠️ Most landlords require a refundable one month’s rent deposit before moving in. The deposit is usually returned after you move out if there is no damage to the property.
