New rights for residents during railway construction

The act introduces changes to railway law protecting tenants, property owners, and businesses during construction of new railway lines, especially tunnels. Renters in affected areas gain the right to reimbursement for temporary housing costs, while property owners receive compensation rights when plans change.
Key points
Tenants living in properties affected by railway construction can receive reimbursement for substitute rental costs for up to 12 months – paid by PKP, CPK, or local government.
Property owners whose land value decreases due to investment restrictions can claim compensation within 3 years.
Businesses and public institutions get refunds for documented costs like property security or rent when they cannot use premises due to construction.
Investors can modify railway location decisions without new environmental permits if unforeseen technical or social circumstances arise.
In case of force majeure, the voivode can order temporary handover of equipment to the investor, with compensation determined later.
