What to know before you rent
- Deposits
- For residential leases the security deposit may not exceed 12 times the monthly rent, and it is returned indexed to the rent at the end of the tenancy. (source, 2026)
- Leases
- Many private landlords use 'najem okazjonalny' (occasional lease): a fixed-term contract where the tenant signs a notarial submission to eviction and names an alternative address; the landlord must report it to the tax office. (source, 2026)
Short-term rental rules
- Poland: A short-term rental law implementing EU Regulation 2024/1028 introduces mandatory registration of every short-term rental in municipal records and the central CWTON register, and lets municipalities designate zones limiting short-term rental. (source, 2026)
