Institutional leases growing in Poland, changing housing market

Institutional rental housing (PRS – Private Rented Sector) remains one of the fastest-growing segments of Poland’s residential market, driven by rising mobility, migration to large cities, and limited access to mortgages. According to a report by Savills and Crido, PRS stock reached about 25,100 apartments in October 2025, up more than 24% y/y, and could exceed 36,000 units by the end of 2027. Despite rapid growth, PRS still represents only around 1% of Poland’s rental market. Expansion is concentrated in major cities, where institutional renting is increasingly seen as a realistic alternative to homeownership.

Professional management improves service quality and supports rent stability, although rising energy and administrative costs may significantly increase tenants’ total monthly expenses in 2026.
