Paste the link and pick Telegram

Give the copied link to MXSender and choose Telegram as the channel; email can be added to the same search later if you like a backup. Label the search in a way you will recognise, such as „Wrocław 2 rooms“, since that label is what tells your searches apart.

New listings land in your Telegram

Read the cards as they land

Every new flat shows up as a card in the chat with the photo, the title, the rent and a button that opens the listing. A hashtag on each card marks which search it belongs to, and the chat syncs between your phone and your laptop.

The Friday-evening problem with Polish rentals

Picture it: you open olx.pl after work, find a bright two-room flat near a tram line at a fair rent, and message the owner. The reply says six people have already booked viewings for Saturday and the list is closed. It happens all the time in big Polish cities, and it is rarely about the flat being too good to be true. It simply went up at lunchtime.

The fix is not refreshing the page every twenty minutes. It is having the new listing reach you where you already are, which for many people moving to Poland is a Telegram chat.

Checks a newcomer should run before paying anything

Never send a deposit or a booking fee for a flat you have not seen in person. A landlord who is abroad and will post the keys after a transfer is the most common rental scam pattern, and it targets foreigners in particular.

Ask who owns the flat and whether the person showing it can sign. Get the agreement in writing and read what the monthly figure covers: in Poland the advertised rent often excludes the building’s administrative fee and utilities. If the landlord offers a fixed-term agreement of the najem okazjonalny type, ask what statement it requires from you and who pays the notary.

Sharing olx.pl flats with a flatmate in one Telegram chat

Forward a card to the person you are renting with and they see exactly what you see: picture, rent and link, no screenshots. If you run two searches, say one for Mokotów and one for Praga, the hashtag keeps them apart. Mute the less urgent one and its cards arrive without a sound.

Which plan fits a flat hunt in a Polish city

On Free you get one search, checked every 30 minutes, and Telegram is included. Starter at $5.99 checks five searches every 10 minutes. Pro at $14.99 covers twenty searches with the fastest checks we run.

In Warsaw or Kraków during the autumn student rush, the shorter gap between checks is what turns a listing into a viewing. In a smaller town with a handful of new rentals a day, Free is usually enough.

❓Frequently asked questions

Do I need to read Polish to use this?

Not for the setup. The listing titles arrive as the landlord wrote them, so a translation app helps with the details, but the photo and the rent on the card are clear in any language.

Will I be flooded with flats already on the site?

No. The first check only records what is there now; after that you only get cards for listings that appear later.

Can I keep olx.pl’s own saved search too?

Yes. The site’s saved searches keep working as before; our alert is a separate thing you choose the channel for.

Does MXSender talk to the landlord for me?

No. You get the alert and then contact the advertiser yourself through olx.pl or by phone.

I changed districts. Do I start again?

Just rebuild the filters on olx.pl, copy the new address and swap the link in your search; the name and channel stay.

How do I stop the cards once I have signed?

Pause or delete the search. That is all it takes.
