Cost of owning in Warsaw
What GUS reports about condo fees, heating, and social housing — not private-market rent.
When you buy a flat in Poland, ongoing costs include czynsz (condo management fees), heating, and repairs. GUS collects these from housing associations and municipalities — they reflect official averages, not your specific building.
Municipal rent figures below are for social housing (komunalne), not what you'd pay on the private rental market.
