What Is a Guarantee in Najem Okazjonalny in Poland

We explain what a guarantee in Najem Okazjonalny is, why it is needed, the types that exist, how to prepare it, and in which cases notarization is required.

What is a Guarantee in Najem Okazjonalny

A guarantee in Najem Okazjonalny (in Polish — oświadczenie właściciela lokalu) is a mandatory document confirming that the tenant has a place to move to in the event the lease agreement is terminated. This document is signed by the owner of the indicated dwelling and is attached to the Najem Okazjonalny agreement.

Why the Guarantee is Needed

The main purpose of the guarantee is to simplify and speed up the eviction procedure if the tenant breaches the terms of the agreement. Without this document, a Najem Okazjonalny agreement cannot be concluded, as it is one of the key legal requirements.

  • For the landlord: assurance that there is a legally confirmed address for eviction.
  • For the tenant: transparent terms and protection from unlawful actions by the owner.
  • For the notary: compliance with all formalities to give the agreement legal force.

What the Guarantee Looks Like

It is a written statement by the owner of another property, which includes:

  1. Full details of the owner (full name, address, PESEL or passport details).
  2. Confirmation of consent to the tenant’s possible residence.
  3. The address of the property to which relocation will be possible.
  4. The owner’s signature, notarized (in some cases).
