Changes in rental law: easier evictions and greater rights for landlords.

The draft bill makes it easier for apartment owners to terminate lease agreements and carry out evictions. The changes shorten the waiting time to terminate a contract due to rent arrears and remove criminal liability from owners for cutting off utilities to illegal occupants. According to the authors, the goal is to protect private property, which is intended to encourage renting and lower rental prices.
Key points
Landlords can terminate the lease after just one month of unpaid rent (currently three months).
Owners can reclaim the apartment for themselves or their family with a 6-month notice, without having to provide replacement housing.
Courts will not grant social housing rights to tenants who intentionally fail to pay rent for at least three months.
Landlords will not commit a crime if they stop paying for utilities for squatters or enter an apartment occupied illegally.
Bailiff procedures are simplified – bailiffs can quickly move evicted persons to shelters, even in another municipality within the same voivodeship.
