Rent from another country, without the stress.
Most of our tenants arrive from another city or country, so we built the whole move-in around that. A new flight, a new city and a new home do not have to mean a stack of paperwork.
Sign online, from abroad
Sort the paperwork before you even land. Your lease is signed online while you are still in your home country.
Move in at any hour
Arrive whenever your flight does. Your keys wait in a secure box, so you can settle in day or night.
We handle the rest
The next day we drop by to finish the formalities, like the meter readings, so you can just settle in.
Renting sight unseen, without the fear.
The hardest part of renting from far away is not knowing what is real. Here is exactly how you can tell ours is.
Photos we take ourselves
Every photo is of the actual room or flat, taken by us, never pulled off the internet. What you see in the listing is what you walk into.
You see the company first
You read the full lease and see which company you are signing with before you pay anything. Nothing stays hidden until it is too late.
Keys only after you sign
You collect the keys from a secure box once the lease is signed, never by handing cash to a stranger from an advert before there is a contract.
A real person, PL or EN
Someone answers, by phone or message, in Polish or English. You always have a human to ask, before your stay and all the way through it.
Read the lease before you commit.
We are happy to show you exactly what you would be signing. Download a sample of our lease and read every line, in your own time, before you decide.

Renting in Poznań, answered
How do I rent a room in Poznań with citymate?
Browse verified rooms and flats, pick one and reserve it online. citymate handles the rest: you sign the contract online with your passport and basic details, pay the deposit and first month, and collect keys from a secure box. Most tenants have keys within about three days.
Can I rent in Poznań from abroad before I arrive?
Yes. The whole process is online, so you sign your lease while still in your home country. After you land, keys wait in a secure lockbox you can open at any hour, and the next day your guardian drops by to help you settle in.
What is included in the rent for a room?
For a room you pay one fixed monthly amount with utilities (electricity, water, gas) included, so no surprise bills. Furniture, equipment and Wi-Fi are ready from day one. For a whole flat the utilities are in your name and citymate handles the formalities.
How much is the deposit and when is it returned?
The deposit is shown on every listing, usually about one month's rent. After you move out and the handover is signed, citymate returns it within 30 days, minus any damage beyond normal wear. The exact amount is always stated in your contract before you sign.
Who do I sign the rental contract with?
You sign directly with a registered company, not a private individual, so there is a real party you can hold accountable. You read the full contract and see who you sign with before you pay anything. The signature happens online, in Polish or English.
Do you speak English?
Yes. citymate works in Polish and English every day, so you can ask about anything, the contract, payments or a repair, in whichever language feels comfortable. A real person answers by message or phone throughout your tenancy, not only at signing.
