Housing law changes: new rental rules and subsidies

The act introduces changes to the rules for Social Housing Initiatives (SIM), including new rights for municipalities and tenants. It also expands financial support for building dormitories and changes the rules for saving for housing (housing account). For citizens, this means, among other things, the possibility of easier transfer of housing rights to relatives and new income limits for rentals.
Key points
Municipalities gain the right to appoint their representatives to SIM supervisory boards, giving them more influence over decisions.
SIM tenants will be able to more easily transfer their rights to the apartment to their immediate family (spouse, children) without SIM's consent.
A new type of financial aid for the construction and renovation of dormitories for students and doctoral candidates has been introduced.
The rules for saving in a housing account are changing: the minimum monthly deposit has been lowered from PLN 500 to PLN 300.
The upper age limit (45 years) for opening a housing account has been removed – now everyone can save with a state bonus.
The period during which apartments built with state subsidies cannot be sold has been extended from 15 to 25 years.
State budget spending limits for loan subsidies and support for social housing for 2026-2030 have been increased.
