Problematic guests in apartments – an increasingly common problem
Owners of apartments in popular tourist destinations, such as Szklarska Poręba, are increasingly encountering guests who do not respect the rented property. The latest case revealed by an apartment owner has gone viral: she publicly shared photos and a description of the mess left behind by her guests.
The most common “souvenirs” left by guests
The inglorious list includes, among others:
- Scattered rubbish and food leftovers
- Flooded bathrooms and damaged appliances
- Stains on bedding and towels

How to protect yourself?
Owners increasingly use:
- Security deposits
- Monitoring of common areas (in accordance with the law)
- Detailed rental rules
- Cooperation with cleaning agencies
